When I was a little kid Monkey Island honestly felt magical, even though the gameplay is essentially a linear puzzle it really did feel like you were walking around a little living world and just how cinematic and seamless the opening titles are to the first scene too just didn't feel like any other videogame, more like a little movie world.
But yeah the best thing about it was always the atmosphere and world, less so the writing.
I would have loved if Guybrush vs LeChuck were just something in the background lore, and you were an actual nobody pirate just hanging out with random characters like Kate Capsize, Stan, and all the other quirky one-shot NPCs and have side quests with each.
Like imagine a side arc to overthrow Governor Phatt and so on :)
