@F-ZeroX I'd recommend playing the previous games before Return, as it does rely on some knowledge and you'll just get a fuller experience overall. As for the ending, it's definitely a point of contention amongst players; it has a point to make, but whether or not you agree with that point is your choice.
"Now I have an obligation to tag along and clear the area if Luigi so much as glances at a stiletto."
@F-ZeroX Return is pretty accessible, you don't need to have played the earlier entries to 'get into it' - but you'll miss some throwbacks and references etc.
I would say though that MI1 and MI2 are much more difficult than Return though, so if difficulty is off-putting for you, then maybe just jump into Return which is a bit easier.
@F-ZeroX I'd recommend some of the recent Wadjet Eye games - for example "Unavowed" - which are lighter on puzzles, and more focussed on narrative/choices. Still a few puzzles, but pretty easy. Good games if you're looking for less mind-bending challenge!
(I think Monkey Island 1 and 2 will frustrate you, based on your earlier comment)
Has anyone ever played OU? It just went on 50% sale for $10. It was mentioned in a NintendoLife YouTube video a year ago and looked interesting and very pretty so I wishlisted it but it never got a review.
On difficulty: I don't like getting stuck much. It gets tedious and frustrating and trying everything on everything isn't much fun. I guess I'm not that good at solving puzzles.
There's always the "Universal Hint System" (google it), for adventure games and others (I used it for Super Mario 64 for example). For puzzles it offers a vague hint, if you're still stuck, another slightly less-vague hint, and so on, to give you every chance at figuring it out yourself before just telling you outright.
