LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GAME!! The ending genuinely made me emotional. Shows how much Sam and Max really care for each other. The first game showed Max getting kidnapped and lacked Sam really caring that much. This game throws us into a perspective where Sam essentially turns into Max because he’s lost the half of him that keeps him calm and collected. We see him become violent and loud, something only Max was.
Comedically it's a bit less effective than the other two seasons. There's a big miss in the last episode -- Sam is weirdly misogynistic towards a recurring character. But it's still Sam & Max so it's hard to hate. Narratively and mechanically it's the most ambitious the franchise has gotten, and on those fronts it largely hits.
Standard Telltale point and click adventure game that holds a lot of creative, though zany, charm. It’s an odd duck that I enjoyed through and through. I mean I’ve never played a game where I’m a Detective Dog and Psychopathic Bunny, who’s been kidnaped by a space Gorilla looking for toys and get to play as a giant Cthulhu bunny monster at the end of it all. Most of the puzzle solving is standard fair, but I enjoyed the story and characters enough to become interested in the Sam & Max IP overall.
This game is an extremely well-made deconstruction of Sam and Max as a franchise. It constantly subverts and plays around with the two's relationship in extremely creative ways.
They managed to pull off a genuinely investable story in a series that usually refuses to ever drop the absurdity. It doesn't skim out on the humor either, it's still extremely funny.
Easily the best Sam and Max, and one of the best point and click games.
