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.
