    Hi developers! Did you try to read the subtitles in this speed in a language that is not you mother tongue? What about "press to proceed"? Learn how to build dialogues from other Nintendo games. Good luck!

    Lost points for joke censorship. Sam and Max would not approve. Go get the original season 1.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why play a censored version? For widescreen? Utterly pointless, inferior version. Expand

    Unfortunately the developers decided to censor jokes.
    Yes, jokes.

    Absurd political pandering.

    Imagine South Park got censored. That's this game in a nutshell. A once great game ruined by the new modern cancer known as "political correctness".

    Don't waste your money on this. Get the originals. I wouldn't recommend this if this was free.

    Save the World's streamlined verb-free take on point-and-click design remains enjoyable to this day and makes the entire game's narrative easy to sit back and enjoy without getting stumped for hours. Remakes rarely highlight the strengths of a game this well! [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 22]

    Sam & Max Save the World is a hilarious game that moves effortlessly between surreal screwball comedy, buddy cop sitcom, and sharp satire of American society. That’s reason enough for the new lease on life that comes with a remaster and a Switch release, but as one of Telltale’s formative works, it’s also an important part of videogame history that was at risk of being lost forever.

    Sam & Max: Save The World is an extremely fun game, with great humor in the dialogues and a solid gameplay. Lots of good challenges, that together with an excellent cast of characters, makes for a fantastic experience to play on your Nintendo Switch.
