Sam & Max Save the World

first time with point and click and investigation games made a great first impression to me

i can't speak on the content of the game itself because i couldn't even play it. the game is littered with game breaking bugs, bluescreened my pc three times in under an hour of gameplay. would not zoom out after cutscenes forcing me to restart the game. characters teleporting. actually unplayable

This game is a great combination of Madness, Craziness and Fun and if you miss the old version you can download the DLC and play the classic version of these games without any changes.

13-year-old me had a blast with this back in 2006. It was definitely not my first point & click adventure game, but it was one of the first that I had played without much assistance from walkthroughs, and was able to enjoy it for what it was and the challenges it posed. It might be the nostalgia speaking, but despite knowing full well that it's not the best of the three seasons, it remains my favourite one. The Remaster is excellent, improving the visuals, gameplay and other quality of life stuff that bring it to where it deserves to be. The only complaint I have is changing Bosco's voice actor and re-recording all his lines, just for politicall corectness. And the new Bosco simply misses the 'je ne sais quoi' that made original Bosco one of my favourite characters in the game. Compared to newer seasons, I also enjoyed the simplicity of Season 1, and how grounded it stays in the home street, despite each episode offering other unique locations: a recording studio, a mafia casino, the White House, the moon and others. The humour is on brand and absolutely hilarious at times, and the stuff they did in terms of gameplay, especially in Reality 2.0, is among my favourite adventure game moments ever. So yes, much love for this remaster!

SKUNKAPE GAMES!!! PLEASE ADD THE POLISH DUBBING AND MY LIFE WILL BE YOURS!!!!!!!

A much appreciated remaster of the Telltale classic. The old format where every episode was listed individually in your library was so cumbersome. The addition of achievements is nice too. If you've never played it, it's actually a bit more involved than a lot of other Telltale games. It's somewhere between classic point and click adventures and the more well known Telltale games, like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. It has a little bit of the point and click logical messiness at times, but that adds to the charm, in my opinion. Don't take my ~20 hour play time too seriously; I fell asleep while playing and wracked up an extra 8 hours. Realistically, it's like a 10 to 12 hour game. Glad Skunkape managed to get the IP after TTG's brief, but destructive shut down. There are a couple games that didn't survive and had to be delisted from Steam. Considering many are likely to never return, I am glad these managed to come back in a strong way. I also hope they have plans to create new games, beyond the Sam & Max and Poker Night remasters. Next up: Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space!
