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.

The best of the trilogy. And considering the history of Telltale, this feels like a final hurrah to the point and click era of adventure games. And what a great way to end it.
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.

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.
i need them back so bad
Great story, funny characters, and a great conclusion to the trilogy. I cant wait for the remaster.
not at all what i really expected or wanted out of a sam and max game honestly. too lovecraftian horror-y and not as much fun wacky haha times-y. It seemed like the plot was trying to take itself more seriously than usual with this series, and that's not very fun I guess. Sure season 2 had some satanic shit goin down with it but it always felt like they were playing it for laughs whereas this felt more genuine with its lovecraftian nonsense. The new graphical engine looks great and the UI is not only more dynamic but also works well with a controller for those playing on console. Not my favorite, but sam & max is still sam & max at its core.
I'm sure they'll return eventually but this was an outstanding ending for the Sam & Max series. Funny, emotional and entirely original, with great puzzles and even better character moments.
This is all I could ask for from a Sam and Max game. That small little ending choice detail. Adds so much.
New puzzle elements are tedious. Jokes don't hit as often. Movement and menu usage is more confusing. Story arcs are a flatline, despite the events depicted being large in scale. Felt tiresome by episode... oh, episode one. Oops. Overall, The Devil's Playhouse kinda puts me to sleep. Sorry!
I didn't enjoy the humour quite as much as the last two games but the Toybox gives a new dimension to the puzzles that keeps it fresh. Also has a much stronger dramatic tone that reaches it's peak at the ending which was cool to see. I prefer the more relaxed vibe of the games that came before but it's good they mixed it up a bit.
I'll never forgive myself for not pre-ordering for Max's Severed head in TF2 and getting a nice payout years later.

god. cant wait to see max die in hd
This game goes out to the LGBT community
Open the box... IF YOU DARE!!!!
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.
Another couple of years does wonders for Sam and Max's visuals in this third installment of the Sam and Max series, but it was actually my least favorite, contrary to popular belief it seems.
It's certainly one of the more consistent series I've played and The Devil's Playhouse is just more fun, crazy, zany, and an instant classic.

okay. Hoooo boy. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! overarching plot is good, very funny writing, but then OH NO!!! MAX FUCKING TURNS INTO A MONSTER AND THEN DIES AT THE END OF THE GAME? AND GETS REPLACED BY AN ALTERNATE TIMELINE VERSION OF MAX WHERE SAM IS THE ONE THAT DIES? WHAT????? if future games are canon to the timeline then our max is literally just Gone???? it fucks me up every time i think about it.
also, the entire sam noir segment really got me all up in my feelings. that and the end credits of the game really goes to show how much sam cares about max. omg it hurts my soulll
OKAY, about the actual gameplay, one of the reasons i liked this game the most was because i thought the toys concept was sooo cool, both gameplay wise and lore wise. thinking abt this game makes me really excited for the remaster that was announced for this year... i dunno if it will really come out in 2023 since we're already in october, but i hope it does. i will be there no matter what!!!!

The pinnacle of the Sam & Max games. This game is amazing, the vibes in this game are killer and the countless references and shoulder bumps the game does to the nerds in the crowd are so endearing and wonderful. This game was made with so much love and care.
Almost almost perfect game. Has so much going on for it. The only real problem is that for it to be fully effective you need to have played the previous two entries, which I found very insufferable and unfunny. But if you did, this game makes up for it.
CRIES THRASHES AROUND. bawls.
The perfect conclusion to the Telltale Sam & Max series, It improves on the other games in gameplay and scope incredibly while doubling down on the charm that made people fall in love with the series in the first place, may we meet again some day, Freelance Police!
peak of the series, although the ending is bittersweet, I loved playing through every episode, all of them incredibly memorable in their own way
The last, and best, season of Telltale's Sam & Max. It takes a departure from the last two by providing a unique twist for each episode and introducing permanent tools for the Freelance police's arsenal in the form of the toys of power.

I did beat it but I'll be damned if I remember what happens
