Summary

It's the heartwarming tale of two psychopaths who save the world from people more dangerous than even them. Sam is a laid back dog, Max is an impulsive rabbit-thing, and they are classic adventure game protagonists. This episodic adventure game came early in Telltale's life as a studio, when they were attempting to reimagine how to make classic adventure games well after the bottom fell out of the industry. While this season shows some growing pains, it's hard to deny the inherent charm of these characters and this world.

2:59.2	yeah, yeah, so there's a reaction if you can get, mm-hmm
3:29.2	kinetic little rabbit thing named Max. And you are freelance police tasked with solving
3:38.2	wacky mysteries and kind of a twisted cartoon version of America.
3:43.2	Yes. And this is kind of a point and click adventure game, you know, very much in that
3:47.7	LucasArts mold, like the original Sam and Max when they hit the road. But this is, you know,
3:53.5	since the Telltale reboot, which we'll talk about, it's pretty different. You're still
3:57.6	solving puzzles by talking to people, kind of finding items in the environment and using
4:01.6	them at the right places. But it's not nearly as complex. Right. You are not picking from a series
4:09.6	of verbs. You just have context dependent, you know, clicks. And you're not combining items
4:15.1	in your inventory. And probably the biggest thing is the much limited, much more limited scope.
