It's easy to get the impression that this game isn't all that good with all the negative reviews front and center and people rate bombing the positive ones (including this one no doubt). But rest assured, this game is just as good as it was all those years ago. Sunkape really did this game justice as the updated visuals and controller support make the game look as if it was made recently and not around 15 years ago. And it even includes references to foreshadow later episodes and even the later two seasons! It really feels like the team cared about TellTale Sam & Max's legacy and it helps make the transition between each adventure feel a lot more seamless for new players. The main talking/pain point people have is regarding the new voice actor for Bosco and some jokes that got changed or outright omitted, witch can be a major bummer for the more 'puritan' Sam & Max fan. But even with the removed/altered jokes in mind, the main experience and humor of the game has not been compromised whatsoever, and on average about two or three jokes have been changed or omitted per episode. And almost all except one are with Bosco thanks to the new actor (the odd one out involve the C.O.P.S.). Though I do agree that Skunkape should've let people know these jokes were cut before people found out themselves. For what jokes they did remove though, they added some in as well. Quite a bit of cut content and side gags make their way back in, and even all new silent gags were included to spice up some of the less lively places and to cleverly work around the lack of new voice work. If you're someone who doesn't care about 6 or 8 jokes (out of like 200) going missing and want a look at TellTale's olden days with a fresh coat of paint for modern systems, I cannot recommend this game enough. However, for those that really want those 8 jokes, you can buy this game on Steam and it will come with all the old versions of the episodes at no extra cost. Everyone wins!
