Sam & Max Save The World Remastered Reviews
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.
Sam and Max Save the World looks as great as it sounds. With upgraded visuals, fresh jazzy music, remastered audio across the board, this is the best this game series has ever looked. Bring on Season 2, 3, and beyond!
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.
Sam & Max Remastered is an exceptional remake of a beloved game from Telltale’s early days. Fans of the original will be really satisfied with what Skunkape Games has done here, as the visual and audio upgrades give a modern feel to the aging game. Though it’s a bit of a letdown that there’s no extra content or additions to the story, Sam & Max Save the World Remastered makes it more than worth returning to a 2000s classic.
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.
It’s hard to explain these stories without spoiling them, and they’re so bizarre that you just have to experience them for yourself. Were it not for the great art, writing, and puzzle design, the very creative storylines just wouldn’t hold much water, but that isn’t a problem here — Sam & Max Save the World fires on all cylinders very well, with little room left for disappointment.
Sam & Max Save the World Remastered is the perfect antidote to 2020. With updated visuals, great Switch porting, and terrific writing that still holds up over a decade later, only a few frustrating puzzle solutions stand in the way of practical perfection.
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!
Sam & Max Save the World is a surreal and wild ride that adventure fans shouldn’t miss.
Skunkape have done a fantastic job of refining everything that needed to be updated but have left the prevailing spirit of Sam & Max Save The World untouched. For fans of the genre or for anyone who enjoys absurd irreverent humour, this is a ‘must play’ title that has the capacity to have you in fits of laughter.
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.

Save the World never felt “wrong” or “off-model” or anything, but the remastered elements here feel like missing pieces we never knew about.
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.

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.
The remastering of Sam & Max Saves the World is a delightful return to the comedic antics of our crime fighting duo. Some jokes might not land and a lot of puzzles can feel too easy, but the duo's wit has staying power. Add that with some catchy new tracks and a remastering that makes the game more stylish than less, and you have a proper return to form. If you never had a chance to play Sam and Max Save the World, this is the best way to experience one of Telltale's first games.
When the world is threatened by a sinister plot involving hypnosis, washed up child stars, and a self-help cult it falls to the dynamic duo of Sam & Max to save the day in the remastered Sam & Max Save The World! But the game any good? Read the review to find out!
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 & Max Save The World Remastered’s anarchic adventure is just as fun to play today as it was when it first released, with some revamped visuals and improved controller support making it a joy to play on the Nintendo Switch. Sure, it does have the occasional obtuse puzzle that’ll be tricky to solve and the fact that you can’t skip through dialogue is a bit of a pain, but it doesn’t stop the game from offering a quirky and enjoyable mystery for point-and-click fans to really sink their teeth into. Here’s hoping we’ll also see the sequels hit the Nintendo Switch sometime soon…
I will gladly and freely admit to my bias here, ever since the original Sam & Max Hit the Road made way back when for PC I've been a fan of this silly animal duo...
Sam & Max Save the World Remastered is a great revival for the franchise and Skunkape Games have done an amazing job on implementing the much-needed updates without losing any of the original charm. Die-hard fans will welcome all the obvious and subtle changes that have been made and releasing a new version on the Switch, was definitely a great choice to attract a new generation of fans. Some people may find the humour is slightly dated and inappropriate, however I feel Steve Purcell's stellar writing still makes me chuckle after all these years.
