    Sam and Max has been my favourite adventure game since it came out bud this last episode is something special. But what makes this last episode more special then the others. The Ending. When I was watching the ending it almost made me cry. I won´t spoil anything and I´ll leave you to judge it. Also there is return of some characters (Sybil, Abe Lincon, Skunkape,Sam and Max has been my favourite adventure game since it came out bud this last episode is something special.

Also there is return of some characters (Sybil, Abe Lincon, Skunkape, etc) which only makes the story better. Gameplay is also great. I recommend it to anyone because this is one of the best games of the year.… Expand

    The worst part about completing The City That Dares Not Sleep is knowing that it will probably be a long time before we see Sam and Max again, and that's a shame.

    With the gameplay mechanics reduced to a largely predictable run of conversations and (in)appropriate use of objects, The City That Dare Not Sleep feels stuck in a rut much of the time.

    Comedy's a tricky thing to nail in any format, and episodic gaming remains just as elusive for most developers. Against all odds, Telltale gets both right with Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse.
