I think the most constructive opinion that can be considered at least common is that it's a fine sequel with both stronger and weaker points than its predecessors.

The art direction is outstanding on its own terms, but I understand why some people got completely turned off by it, since it was certainly extreme enough to be at least a calculated risk (and a sizable section of any fandom tend to react strongly about that sort of thing). The writing and dialogue is hilarious though, and on that regard I do believe it sometimes beats the previous games legitimately.

In terms of actual game design, I'd say there's good puzzles and setpieces but nothing that downright surpasses the best parts of the original two games. Plus, it's a bit too streamlined and short in comparison to the second MI.

And I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I sunk 10 bucks on Thimbleweed Park like an idiot, but I'm glad it was such an obvious mess so at least people could finally stop pretending the first MI games were great because instead of DESPITE Ron Gilbert.

Anyway, MI3 is an ok game and the amazing production value more than make up for its shortcomings.

Perhaps consider adventure games? Like, sometimes when a person thinks they hate "video games", it turns out what they REALLY hate is runny-twitchy-mashbutton-shootbangs, and they'd actually be way into a slower, more thoughtful experience with a bit of a story in it. I dunno, try her on like some Grim Fandango or Monkey Island or something, if that don't work I'm outta ideas.

It's very OK, though not the best. It definitely doesn't deserve getting badmouthed all the time by a bunch of drones parroting a washed up designer though

We'll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange

Depends on the type of game.

Point and click games is a huge nostalgia deal for me, and that's probably why i enjoy Curse of Monkey island more then Lechuck's revenge, even if it's overall a better game.

I like the pirates. Every other faction has all this philosophy behind them, the pirates' motives are just 'yar har steal stuff and drink rum'
