In this epic episode the three very important looking pirates go off on their greatest quest yet: to Return to Monkey Island! And yes there be spoilers! Although the first part of the review is non spoilers and the spoilers are well telegraphed but they finish the episode by discussing everything from ending, revelations and whether we think the game ultimately met our impossibly high expectations.

But first there are other adventure games too! Tomas does his best David Attenborough impersonation as he reviews swimming simulator/oceon documentary Beyond Blue, Seoirse answers a wrong number in the talking adventure game Unknow Number, Seoirse and Tomas then review possibly the weirdest adventure game of the year in Norco and Seoirse then reviews Syberia: The World Before. Plus they discuss the latest including the apparent firing of the lead developers of Disco Elysium and much more!
