Monkey Island 3 wasn't pixelated and was epic!

Ditto for MI Special Edition from few years back but you could switch between pixelated and vector versions on the fly. Pixelated version, as nostalgic as it was, is clearly inferior. At least as far the gameplay is concerned.

The special edition art style is much better than this new style.

The special edition is basically a step up from the original pixel art version, so to me it still maintains that original 'feel'.

This new style distorts the faces for some reason - as others have already pointed out.

I don't like the bland faces from the special edition, especially the close-ups which are almost 'chibi' style and feel out of place.

The new style at least has a bit of character of its own instead of trying to copy the intention of a pixel art original.
