Agree. There’s more to my interpretation of “Monkey Island-like” than being point & click:

• Cartoonish style <– They seem to have a similar art style, I’ll give them that.
• Absurd humor
• Pirate themed
• Satirical
• Undead
• Voodoo

Following the articles logic, I would say that Minecraft or Skyrim is Quake-like, seeing as they’re both first person view.

Further down in the linked article it instead calls it “Monkey Island-inspired” and that’s probably a much better description to have in the title.
