A product of its time, Sam & Max Save the World is a remaster dedicated to fans of the series and point and click games, but in the current market, the audience might not be much bigger than that.

Sam & Max make a largely triumphant return, with a reminder of just how special and stupid a series it can be. Save the World benefits the most from the overhaul, but Beyond Time and Space remains the peak of this former Telltale Games series.
Both Sam & Max Save the World and Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space remain great games after all these years. These remasters honor what made the originals special, while simultaneously modernizing the games. Updated graphics, audio, and accessibility features are just a few of the quality-of-life improvements found in these charmingly bizarre yet well-crafted adventures. New players and old fans alike will find plenty to love.
Point-and-click narratives are fairly rare nowadays and this remaster gets more than the job done, offering a good time for old and new fans. Better yet, it brings back an old forgotten style, reminding us that, sometimes, perhaps the most simple way to tell a story might be the best way.
When Sam And Max was announced, I was excited about returning to it after so long. Being a big fan of point-and-click adventures and episodic games this had a lot going for it. The humour throughout gave me laughs and that wasn’t always limited to the main characters. What I would love to see next is a brand-new adventure. However that is my one criticism of a number of titles lately. It is for this reason Sam and Max Remastered receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award
Sam and Max Save the World Remastered is good game and a good remake, despite what the hardcore fans of the original release state due to the new voice of Bosco. If you liked the original, you’ll love the remaster. If you are new to the genre, it is a must play peace that will keep you occupied for at least 15 hours.
Sam and Max Save the World (Remastered) is an incredible triumph. Hands down a fantastic release and an insanely comical and enjoyable title to play.
In the Sam and Max series of games there are great games that take this pair of good characters to live adventures without a doubt fun. Sam & Max Save the World is an important moment in the series, even if it's not the best game in the series. Its crazy story, its black humor will always amuse you. And if you like point-and-click games, this should certainly be a candidate to reach your library. Its flaws are clear: solving puzzles can be more difficult than it should be because the logic of the game can be an obstacle. In addition to an uncomfortable control.

Sam & Max Save The World Remastered is a game that I was eager to try since it was announced, I have to admit, but when I finally installed it I was afraid of being disappointed, that it was not up to the task and having to wait another decade to enjoy these characters. Luckily Skunkape showed me that my concerns, although logical, were unfounded and this remaster may well be called that with the improvements and care they took of the franchise.

It’s been more than 25 years since I last played a Sam & Max game and playing Sam & Max Save The World felt like it was yesterday. The graphical and audio improvements are outstanding, with the same great humour and whacky fun to be had.
Sam and Max Save the World Remastered is pretty much what you'd expect - a modern update to a much-loved classic. As much as I love stepping back into the chaotic shoes of Sam and Max, I'm left a little disappointed by the fuzziness in handheld mode and the slightly confused script revisions. That said, the game is still one of the funniest point-and-click adventures I've had the pleasure of playing.
Sam & Max Save the World, just from the principle that it is a remaster, does not bring any revolution in the field of point and click adventures. However, this is a great remaster, and if you did not play the original part, you just want to enjoy a moment of nostalgia, but in a modern resolution and without problems, or you like logic games that really need to think and the game will not give you any instructions, We highly recommend Sam & Max Save the World.

Anyone who enjoys point and click adventures absolutely should not skip Sam & Max Save The World. The humor is unmatched in its cynicism and outlandishness. What other game has a statue of Lincoln come to life and fight one of the main characters for presidency, and child stars trying to help a television has-been take over the world? It’s surprisingly fresh over a decade later, and its timeless point and click gameplay delivers it all well. My inner teen is really happy Sam & Max has escaped the fall of Telltale.
Vintage adventure gamers rejoice! Skunkape Games under the tutelage of some former Telltale Games developers has created a faithful Nintendo Switch version of this classic adventure game duo! This is Sam & Max as we remembered and it plays oh so well in undocked mode making it THE point-n-click adventure game for on-the-go! The visuals are satisfying, the music and voice-overs are crisp and the controls are impeccable. And hopefully, the Season Two and Season Three teases on Skunkape Games' website become reality for the Nintendo Switch and other systems!
I think it's fair to say that Sam & Max Save the World has one of the best moods I've seen in video games. Its six episodes feature quirky and fun stories, and its puzzles are interesting and work well. Even though it was originally released in 2006, the point and click of the dog in a suit and the hyperactive rabbit still guarantees laughter on the Switch screen - now in a timely remastering.

Great game, great remaster, great port for Nintendo Switch. But the change of voice over for Bosco and changes of some dialogues feel really forced.

Its six episodes offer laughter and plenty of searching around, ingredients that are essential for a title of this kind.

Sam & Max Save The World Remastered looks damn good whilst being charming and super fun to play. For those who love a smart point and click narrative that is super chill and doesn’t take itself one bit seriously, this one has your name all over it!
While Sam & Max Save the World remastered makes a few concessions for its console release and the touch screen support is lacking, it's still a gorgeous and hilarious game that is well worth playing in any form.
Despite not having all of the same humor as the original, it still has the same storylines and puzzles as before. Returning fans to the game should have no problem jumping right into the action. Plus, people unfamiliar with the game will be delightfully entertained by its wackiness and hare-brained schemes (see what I did there?).
