Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I consider MI3 (The Curse of Monkey Island) to be the absolute best in the series. The puzzles feel just right, the comedy and writing are on point from beginning to end, and the graphical style holds up to this day.

I agree, really is the best to me. MI2 was the worst to me in terms of puzzle design.
Use Monkey With Wrench and that library sequence ruined my replays of MI2 and took away some of the charm. The sewer scenes made me forget it tho, and still gave me fond memories.
MI3 undoubtedly the best - the artwork, the music, the puzzles. I revisited it a few years ago and it was still a joy to play.
Yeah and did you know there is a WASM version of the demo? https://personal-1094.web.app/scummvm.html
Same here. The art was beautiful and the puzzles just doable. MI2 I found super hard though I have to admit the show loading times and disk swapping on amiga didn't help.
I think MI2 took me 6 month to complete (also with only like 2 years of english I didnt know what a monkey wrench is...) . Mi3 was one weekend, a bit too easy.
It was, loved it.
