Also, long-time fans of the series should definitely explore this episode in full. Don’t be in a rush to solve puzzles, because if you take the time to look around you will find a lot of neat nods to several parts of Sam & Max history. Some of it is recent, other parts pay homage to things that happened in Hit the Road (the old 1990s PC adventure game), and more. These may not mean as much to newcomers, but if you’ve been following the Freelance Police for years and years then you’ll definitely enjoy the historical tidbits this episode throws your way.
All in all, this is a great way to finish the season. It is consistently funny, the puzzles are very well done and varied, has great music, and what few flaws it has are very minor. I would definitely recommend this episode for purchase, or if you’ve been holding out to see if the entire season is worthwhile then I can say it is. The worst of the five episodes in this season is competent, while the rest range from good to great. It won’t win over anyone who didn’t like previous Telltale episodic adventures, but Sam & Max Season 3 is well worth your time if you enjoy a lighter take on the genre!
On a side note: Stick around for the full credit roll, a
few loose ends of the story are taken care of during it and what might be a hint at the theme of a possible season four is provided. I have to reiterate that’s a big ’maybe’, but have fun with the speculation on it.
