Strangely enough, I don’t really have any complaints about Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space. I did manage to run into a single visual bug of sorts, but it fixed itself and I never ran into it again. Personally, I think the game looks fantastic, and all the voice acting is just as fun as it was the last time around. The visuals, lighting, music, and sound have all been remastered to fit modern standards. Sam and Max retain their usual wit, and there are even some fun twists and turns for them along the way.

Familiar characters show up, while new ones are introduced along the way as well. In fact, it almost feels like they packed even more pop culture references in, though they don’t feel forced. The storyline is just as wacky and joke-filled as ever. The mini-games I encountered were relatively simple, but I could see some of them being a bit more difficult for some people, so that option to skip/auto-complete them is really useful. Some of them are as simple as a subtitle background, while others are as complex as being able to skip mini-games or adjust the frequency of hints. In fact, there are a variety of fantastic accessibility features that have been added. This time around, the gameplay has been adjusted so that if you find yourself stuck, NPC’s will (optionally) give you hints as to what you are missing. You can walk around as Sam, interacting with various items in the environment, picking up objects and using them or combining them, as well as talking to NPC’s. As always, Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space plays like a typical Point-and-Click adventure.
