Sam: "I'm Sam, he's Max. We fight crime."
Max: "And we like long walks along the beach!"

What a funny and charming game this was. The jokes land so well, said by the endlessly entertaining characters throughout the game and by the stars Sam and Max, both icons of the adventure game genre, but it's funny how it turned out that way, being well known for your games but not where you came from (the comics). What also adds to the charm is its goofy art direction that is so like the cartoons in the 90s and that extremely smooth and fluid animation is hypnotizing. The gameplay is nothing to write home about playing like your average adventure game but the puzzles are so strange that sometimes you need a guide to figure out what you have to do yet I do admire the creativity of the puzzles.
