Includes all Five Episodes from Season Two:
Episode 1: Ice Station Santa - He’s the most ancient and powerful opponent they’ve ever faced, a hairy, bloated, pagan God - Santa Claus! With Christmas presents on the attack and carols of gunshots drowning out the bells, Sam & Max must storm the North Pole to bring down a less-than-jolly foe. Can the Freelance Police make sense of this Christmas conundrum in time to save the world's children from a holiday tainted by tears, turmoil, and Torture-Me-Elmer?
Episode 2: Moai Better Blues - A surprise trip to the tropics turns into a working vacation when Sam & Max sign up to stop a massive volcano eruption. Will their special blend of bewildering wit and renegade justice be enough to win over the gods? (Not to mention the locals?)
Episode 3: Night of the Raving Dead - Zombie attack! Droves of undead are converging in the streets. Now Sam & Max must confront their leader - a Eurotrash vampire with a style all his own. Are the Freelance Police cool enough to outsmart this emo before his flesh-eating army usurps the western world?
Episode 4: Chariots of the Dogs - Bosco’s vanished from the face of the Earth—literally! When Sam & Max manage to track him down, what they find is so mind boggling, you'll have to see it to believe it. Can the Freelance Police set things right, or will life as they know it fall victim to the capricious whims of T-H-E-M?
Episode 5: What's New Beelzebub? - Judgment day is at hand, and it’s time for a showdown with the guy downstairs to bargain for Bosco’s soul. But in the corporate wasteland known as Hell, not even the Freelance Police are safe from eternal damnation. Can Sam & Max fight free from Satan’s grasp, or have they reached the end of the line?

Ice Station Santa is a perfect beginning of season 2, as it feels nice to be back! The first episode offers a familiar feel, new characters and more mini games than I could ever wish for. In the first episode of the season, Sam and Max must defeat Santa after finding out he sent a robotic death machine after them. There's also been a few changes on the street where the office is located, mainly that Sam and Max's favorite diner, Stinky's, has re-opened! Gameplay-wise it plays much like the previous season. However a big change that I do like is that you are now allowed to change the settings before the game starts (in the previous season, you had to watch the starting cutscene and get throw into the game before you could do so). This episode also features a new take on the old driving missions, and a fighting mini-game. Now that's a knock-out in my ball park! Overall, it feels nice to be back with Sam & Max. The comedy feels just as good as the prevous season and I hope the quality of the episodes does as well. Because I had a great time with this!
The entire series relies on its unfunny jokes which hinder the gameplay a lot, and the gameplay itself is rather average anyway. I shouldn't have bothered myself and I don't recommend it.

Always fun with this duo, the only problem is the camera SUCKS. to get the full view of most areas the camera keeps moving so you can select everything and get the flavor dialog, however, because of that the camera will keep moving as Sam does causing you to miss click repeatedly. Not game breaking but a little obnoxious. The story well makes up for it though!
Sam & Max 201: Ice Station Santa is another entry in a long series of short ScummVM style point and click adventure games. This episode has our comedy freelance police rabbit and dog find out why Santa Claus sent a giant death robot to kill them. Gameplay consists of basic point and click adventuring and inventory management, with the occasional minigame. The only things preventing this from being recommendable is poor futureproofing, as the game lacks proper customisable resolution and support for high definition/widescreen displays. And the way Telltale Games removed it from the store, and replaced it with a fully remastered collection (which I do recommend). https://store.steampowered.com/app/1747050/Sam__Max_Beyond_Time_and_Space/

Обычный квест про гиперактивного кролика и высокого пса компаньона, которые пытаются спасти Санту от массового геноцида двух эльфов, работающих в его мастерской, и вытаскивают дьявола из его души... [spoiler]Правда потом они просто отправляют Санту по почте Cатане, но это уже не важно.[/spoiler] Обычный квест, ничего особенного.
I love this game, the franchise is very cool! I could say that (me and a friend) are deeply in love and we use sam and max as matching discord pfps. We will kiss each other every night and I find that very appealing to the normal functions of human social interaction. -My Balls Inch
This second season of a point and click game is a lot better than the first season, if not for anything else the fact that you can play at 1080p resolution now. The humor is still a bit hit and miss. I wish you could skip some of the pointless conversations and animations and that the fast walk would work consistently and not just every once in a while when it feels like.
Remember that if you liked season 1, buy this game before the remaster that will have unnecessary changes and potential censorship comes out. You'll still be able to play the originals, but as free DLC for the remaster, which will cost more. You'll basically be paying more money for the exact same game, so might as well save some and get a fantastic point-and-click adventure.
Black screen and nothing else, I hope the remaster will fix this problem.
