The Secret of Monkey
Island Review

Rated for younger players in the US. ESRB EVERYONE 10+ for alcohol and tobacco reference, comic mischief, mild cartoon, violence, and suggestive themes. The game includes several comical depictions of characters, including a scene in which a "Meathook" character turns his back to the camera to reveal slightly exposed buttocks (e.g., "plumber's crack"). During a sword fight, one of the characters uses a suggestive metaphor to describe battle (e.g., "Sword fighting is kinda like making love. It's not always what you do, it's what you say."). While players have no direct control over the sword combat, they can sometimes make/hear comments such as "prepare to die" and "I will milk every drop of blood from your body." One character is depicted with a cigar in his mouth, and another character discusses how rum is an ingredient in a grog mixture.

8+ year-olds usually have the required skill to enjoy this game. Still, it's important for parents and guardians to consider the maturity required to process the game content. You need to be able to read and solve association puzzles to progress. This can be combining items to get where you need. It also requires some resilience and lateral thinking to progress via branching conversations.
