Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual!

As a Sam & Max addict, I knew I had to play this game. I played it on Occulus and loved it, but I only recently got to play it on Steam. I'll admit it plays a bit better on Occulus, but I still enjoy the game overall - the visuals, music, and voice acting are on point as usual, getting to interact with Sam & Max's world is great, and the minigames are pretty fun... though I have a bit of a skill issue with some of them (ESPECIALLY Fizzball)

Too much jank and the puzzles don't make a lot of sense. There's fun to be had here, and I love the sense of humour.

It has a ton of potential but it falls flat. Why not focus more on puzzle solving rather than horrible boring mini games ? No way worth 30 bucks. So glad I bought it on sale. The graphics and sound are nice, true to the S&M artwork. The dialogue between them is funny but the story, game controls and mechanics suck. Feels more like a proof of concept rather than a full game. 5/10 A proper old school interactive graphic adventure in VR would be a dream come true. Maybe one day......

Characters often stare aimlessly in one direction, the game gives you a button to talk to Sam and Max but it often doesn't do anything, interacting with objects is sometimes precise and awkward, and overall the game feels very barebones.

Sam & Max: This Time it's JANK! If you love Sam & Max, both old and new, then I recommend playing this. The game's pretty much full of jank and lacks polish, but the reason you buy the game is for the titular partners in crime-fighting, and they deliver: they're the same lovable goofs you knew from before, but this time, you can pick Max up and throw him yourself! Max is a lot of fun, I loved interacting with him. I can assure you he's not underused in this game. There's no returning characters from the previous Telltale games or the LucasArts solo outing, so the focus is where it needs to be to make this game enjoyable and worth a playthrough. Despite how unfinished the game feels, I would definitely play it again sometime: it's short and well-segmented enough that you can jump in anytime and see if you're throwing arm's gotten any better, and the game itself doesn't take up much space on your hard drive. Go on, buy it! For old time's sake.
