It's been so long I feel since I completed a game in my backlog I feel. Anyways, Sam & Max is a series I had never heard of until fairly recently. I think I got hooked by their simple, yet loveable designs. They are just great characters to follow. The game is just full of great moments that made me laugh out loud. Prob one of the funniest games I've played. Of course it is also a puzzle game; didn't find too hard so wasn't that bad. The best strengths of this game are def the dynamic and interactions which are great. Happy I got to try this out and will def try out the other two entries in the mean time. I really love Sam & Max with all my heart. and I mean that.

Não é perfeito mas me apeguei tanto a esses animais. Ver eles em uma qualidade maior me pegou de surpresa e demorei um pouco pra me acostumar, mas é mt bonito. Os puzzles podem ser meio esquisitos mas eu amo a lógica fudida da maioria deles, eu amo jogar um desenho animado. Eu os amo muito muito eles são mt engraçados eu sou obcecado eu nunca devia ter ido atras deles

This was a really entertaining time! The characters are all endearingly funny, Sam and Max of course make up the bulk of the dialogue and laughs but they aren't alone. The recurring characters Sybil and Bosco are great (I love how their gimmicks would change in each of the 6 different episodes) plus tons of other funny characters that pop up here and there. The 6 episodes are all very unique in setting: a casino, tv studio, the white house and more keep the situations fresh and entertaining. There is also a solid narrative thread connecting them all, even if it is a bit lose, that keeps you wondering what is going on in the grand scheme of things, even if the game doesn't take itself very seriously. Gameplay is very class point and click, which I don't mind ultimately but it isn't ever going to be my favorite. As the episodes get more complicated it does fall into the trap of just being confused which random object to use with random objects in the environment, this is a stable of the genre so I don't hold it against it too much. Luckily the rest of the game was good enough to keep me entertained and playing.
