Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse

I don't know the point of my recommendation, if you're on this page you've already bought the game. Go play it, the psychic rabbit president holding a dummy commands you.

Season 3 is perhaps objectively speaking the best Sam & Max season, although my favourite remains the first. These 5 episodes go a little more over the top in terms of setting and narrative structure, while still retaining all of the classic things that made the series great to begin with. For one, not everything is anchored to the main street anymore - save for Episode 1. This certainly allowed for the adding of extra dynamics, and Episode 2 especially happens almost entirely in new locations, but to a degree I did miss simply going inside the office. The narrative also feels more of a complete unit rather than a bunch of quite distinct stories thrown together - which, to be fair, Season 2 had already started to do towards the end. Max's toys of power are definitely fun to use, and bring some complexity to the puzzles, but without making stuff feel dumb or difficult. Actually, I found this to be the easiest Sam & Max game, despite the added layers. I loved all the returning characters, the references, and some of the new characters as well - although I didn't really find General Skunkape interesting or funny. With its bittersweet ending and no new games planned, I am slightly scare that this will have been the last we'll see of Sam & Max for quite a while. I hope to be wrong, though.

Ещё один отличный ремастер. В предыдущих сезонах в каждом эпизоде была самостоятельная история, хоть и ведущая к общему сюжету в конце. The Devil's Playhouse – это одна большая история, где есть место и комедии, и тёмному нуару, и хтоническим богам. Управлять можно не только Сэмом, но и Максом. Внезапно у гиперактивного лагоморфа появляются психические способности вроде телепортации и провидения, поэтому для решения головоломок нужно использовать командные усилия. Вот бы кто переиздал игру по Back to The Future...

Quite possibly the best Sam & Max game of them all.

An improvement on all its predecessors narratively and mechanically

Greate Game

A neat conclusion to the mayhem you have caused in prior games :3

It's pretty interesting, but the save file never correctly works so you lose progress.

The definitive way to play The Devil's Playhouse the best Sam and Max game and the topof the Adventure Games revival Telltale was persuing. The remaster is perfect.
