Sam & Max Save the World

It's good

Bought this on steam a while ago and replayed it a lot, the jokes are all good, some don't stick but they rarely last a long time and I found myself laughing at a lot of exchanges between the titular duo and NPC's. There are some difficult puzzles that had me scratching my head at times, nothing as intense as devil's playhouse though, if you backtrack and go back to older locations you're more likely than not to find an interactable or npc that can help you out. This is the sort of game you'd play just to see the skits and dialogue, sam and max make an incredible while also making meta commentary on a variety of topics thatt remain relevant today I'm seeing however a lot of people giving this game 1-2 star because they changed a small amount of the more questionable jokes and acting as if it were the end of the world. These people seem to me much more offended by the changes than the "snowflakes" they claim these changes were catered to. These are small dialogue alterations and it's more than reasonable to change voice actors for Bosco considering the VA's stand up career and honestly it's just better to have a VA cast that isn't entirely composed of white dudes, especially if they have to start imitating accents and possibly make very bad and borderline racist caricatures of minorities, and sam and max generally have a rather diverse cast anwyays so it makes sense. If you are offended by the VA change so much, i'm sorry to say but you're the "snowflake" here. The spirit of the game remains entirely unchanged and people who claim that the new game is a bastardization of the original for these small changes don't know what they're talking about. The "Dark humour" people claim was removed is still there, e.g. most things max says, they literally changed a total of maybe 4 jokes across all 6 episodes, the outrage some people are expressing is completely undeserved and a completely blind emotional response. Enjoy the game, it's good.
