Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual!

There is, however, one saving grace: the writing is exceptional. Sam and Max’s bevy of pop culture references and dark jokes are a near constant presence, and most lines hit their mark. The script is sharp and remarkably funny. Even with the frustrations of the game’s technical shortcomings, we couldn’t help but laugh at many of the quips, getting a good hearty chuckle at least a dozen times across the three hour adventure. The characters and the insane world they exist in stand the test of time, and it’s a lone bright spot in an otherwise frustrating endeavour.
