Why Monkey Repack?
This game is using pretty slow Oodle compression library method called Kraken. It means, that installation of the Turtle repack would take toom much time on a very powerful PC while number of saved GBs won’t be fantastic. So you can get the Monkey Repack, which doesn’t save much, but installs relatively fast. And since any monkey can repack the game that way, it’s called the “Monkey Repack”.
