I've played through the other Sam and Max games (Tell Tale and Lucas Arts). It is great to be able to stand next to these characters. Starting title sequence in the car is great (wish there was more initial dialogue interspersed), I sat there for a bit before starting the actual game. I am not quite 1/2 way through the game, so far it is mini game heavy with some light capering. Still fun. Game play, when the bugs are worked out is worth tops $15, but I'll give it another $15 for the character IP. Wish you could interact with them more (Throw Max at will, attempt to take Sams hat/gun).
I use the Valve Index system, there are bugs and quirks, but nothing game breaking yet. Hopefully they get smooth things out. Obviously we want more of these two, hopefully more dialogue.

I'm only an hour into the game, but so far I've yet to come across anything too disrupting, regarding the VR side of things. Things work how they are mostly supposed to, although I would like a setting for hand alignment when holding items (most notably weapons).
I enjoy the banter and dialogue, and it has a homey feel to it.
I hope the bad bugs get squashed soon enough!

EDIT/UPDATE:
I finished the game on a Valve Index, without encountering any VR related problems.
I clocked in at around 3,5 hours, and as a fan of S&M:Hit the Road, I felt it delivered what it aimed to.
A short and simple adventure using VR, with the boys.

I don't get the people calling it a minigame collection, then again they haven't finished their Freelance Police training, so what would they even know about catching bad guys?

All in all, a fun ride with some puzzles. And a talking dog with his naked rabbit buddy.

This may be a unpopular opinion, but I'm going to give it more credit than it gets from others.

Starting with the only negative that grinds me about this game, they really need to fix the avatar movement controls. The only way I can move after climbing a wall is by switching between joystick and teleport modes.

People complain that it's too different from the other games, Hit The Road, the TellTale trilogy...
I say it has more in common with the cartoon. I'd call it a VR interactive cartoon instead of a VR game.

I enjoyed the humour and the call backs to the games and cartoon were nice.
In my opinion, it passed the test, but barely. I'm giving it a thumbs up, but this is just my personal opinion.

So yeah, it is a very fun game to play.

BUT.....

There are a LOT of bugs in this game, nearly making the game unplayable. Sure, you have to figure out the puzzles by actually paying attention to your surroundings (as is normal in Sam and Max games), but the bugs are NUMEROUS.

A few I found:
- Finnicky hoverboarding
- Grab mechanics not fully optimized
- Batting game nearly impossible to hit upwards
- Accidentally pushing something I wasn't supposed to in the taming round
- Screwdriver physics broken

But by far the worst part were the BOMB DEFUSING PORTIONS. I couldn't properly hold on to the bomb, I could not grab some of the handles to follow through, and every time I did grab the handles, it defaulted to grabbing the ENTIRE OBJECT.
I sat through the defusing stages for almost 10 minutes each time (thank GOD it didn't send me back to the beginning of the level.)

But yeah, putting all of those things aside, I'm finally glad to see my two favorite Freelance Police members finally at it again after such a long time. The dialogue was funny, the pacing was good, and the minigames were fun as hell.

Just one thing...

Happy Giant, if you're reading this...

FIX THE DAMN GAME.

Started off great but ran into a progression breaking bug with my Valve Index controllers. So far it's a severely disappointing port to what seems like a great game. Will alter my review when it becomes playable. Don't buy it til they iron out these game breaking kinks.

----edit---

Setting FPS/Refresh rate to 90 fixed the mallet bug, waiting on the def to fix hand alignment, but for now it's playable.

i love these gay anthropomorphic animals. now i get to walk up to them. 45252/10

This nearly made me throw up all over the floor. I shouldn't play VR games. Love Sam and Max tho so 10/10

sam and max

i want a 10 hour story freeroam now as a 5$ dlc now like fallout

Pretty good. A lot of visual bugs but nothing too distracting.
