    Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse es una soberbia aventura gráfica, quizá la mejor facturada por Telltale antes de su paso a los juegos puramente narrativos. A su memorable e irrepetible pareja protagonista añade un elenco de secundarios estupendos, en una de las tramas más locas, bizarras y retorcidas que os podéis encontrar, sazonada hasta los topes del humor punzante, surrealista y muy desvergonzado típico de la saga. Los poderes psíquicos de Max añaden una nueva y genial capa a la jugabilidad, y los constantes cambios de tono y ambientación entre episodio hacen que el interés por el juego y su frescura se mantenga por todo lo alto en todo momento, siendo una inagotable fuente de sorpresas y diversión. Solo un último episodio un tanto irregular y que baja un poquitín el listón, y el hecho de no contar con traducción de sus textos al castellano empañan ligeramente el resultado final. En cualquier caso, estamos ante una fantástica aventura gráfica, de lo mejor del género en los últimos años, totalmente imprescindible si el idioma no es obstáculo.

    Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Remastered is a retouched version of a smart and comedic classic that holds up very well. It can be a little light on options but the new lighting gives the characters and scenes more life. The writing remains funny and I really enjoyed talking to the characters and figuring out the puzzles, despite some troubles with the logic. The episodic framing really helps make the package feel focused and it really helped keep the pacing snappy.

    Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse brings those early 2010s feelings with a nice coat of upgraded graphics. The old you is still there and still enjoys the quality of Sam & Max brings with gameplay and the witty humor.

    Sam and Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is exactly what you want from a remaster. It has been faithfully rebuilt, adding improvements and things that make sense, and tightening the things that were a little leaky. I loved stepping back into Sam’s (lack of) shoes and holding the world to rights as a newly psychic Max. If you don’t mind a bit of juvenile humour, this is still one of the funniest point-and-click adventures I’ve ever played, but a little prettier than I remember.

    The remaster of The Devil’s Playhouse is a loving polishing that lives up to the standards of the previous Skunkape efforts. Better yet, Season 3 is easily the best one. If you’re looking to get into the series, it’s probably still better to jump in at Season 1. If you’ve been along for the ride this long, then you won’t be disappointed. The Telltale Sam & Max series may not be the most mindblowing point-and-clicks you’ll ever witness, but after playing through the first two seasons, you owe it to yourself to cap it off. Can’t think of a reason not to.
