You're right, this isn't quite the same genre anymore, it's more of an interactive story. The trend towards simplicity has definitely crept in. I really enjoyed Broken Age, but not for quite the same reasons as the Monkey Island series.
Monkey Island 2 was incredibly frustrating at points and for whatever reason (shorter attention spans probably) there is less of a market for that type of game; people are more likely to stop playing after the first bit of difficulty.
I'd still play that old style of game because the more time it takes you to figure the puzzles out the more immersed you get in the game world, but for a lot of people that's not fun.
- aidenn0 11y agoI think a big reason why MI2 was so hard was the lack of an internet. I knew one other person who owned MI2 so when one of us got stuck we would have to wait until the other got caught up to see if they could figure it out. I think i spent over 6 months of real-world time suspended over the cauldron.
