Stick with Monkey Island My experience with Sam and Max isn't from Poker Night at the Inventory, the comic. or even this point and click. Mine is from the single season cult classic cartoon Sam and Max Freelance police. I think thats why this and the telltale games didn't stick. No idea if the cartoon is like the comics but it was face paced, wacky, and was more of teenage tiny toons. It was for a younger audience and since cartoons were going through a renasonce in the 90s they toned back on anything really adult. Being a point and click adventure game Sam and Max move slow the jokes are more witty, sarcastic, and irreverent. While some areas and lines made me laugh I do preder the cartoon and hgow they portrayed there. What really kills my enjoyment though is the gameplay I have beat both Monkey Island games, and Grim Fandango (though that lock puzzle at the end did require a walkthrough) and this one was bad. Its the worst kind of point and click that uses moon logic, I don't know if the creators wanted to push how nonsensical the solutions could get; this game requires some real outside the box thinking. Monkey Island had some difficult moments but it was by no means a pixel hunt game and there was logic to its puzzles. I enjoyed most of the old Lucas Art games despite never having nostalgia for them. Day of the Tentacle was my least favorite but its been replaced by this Not recommended. For some reason Steam hasn't saved my play time I have beat this title.
