A sadly shallow experience
I really tried to love this one, as a fan of the classic point & click LucasArts adventures I was curious to see how Sam & Max would translate into a virtual reality experience. Sadly the result isn't what I had hoped, instead of embarking on a series of detective jobs & investigations that harken back to the clue finding in older games we're treated to an extremely basic set of minigames tied together by a loose storyline. The actual gameplay here feels like VR from 5 years back, lots of carnival style throwing & shooting games that make up the bulk of this 2.5hr/3hr long adventure that left me bored and uninspired. There are a couple of highlights where the game attempts to switch things up into an escape room style experience but these moments are short lived and ultimately have been done better in recent games like Floor Plan 2. All in all I'm not sure who Sam and Max VR is for, the humour & references are a little too abstract for kids and the gameplay mechanics are far too watered down for adults. In an attempt to appeal to everyone it ends up falling short of appealing to anyone. https://youtu.be/-UC9IalZinM - Quest 2 Gameplay & Review
