Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual

About

Sam & Max: This Time It's Virtual turns the absurdist humor of the Freelance Police into a VR adventure. Play as a suited dog and his barefoot rabbit partner solving chaotic cases filled with grotesque parodies and punchy dialogue. The game uses hand-tracking and VR movement to let you interact with a warped world of puzzles that mix logic with nonsense. Expect slapstick violence, surreal environments, and a script that leans hard into its cartoonish edge. The game adapts the long-running Sam & Max series for VR with mixed results. While critics praised its clever writing and over-the-top antics (Metacritic 83), some found VR controls clunky. Released in 2021 on PlayStation VR, SteamVR, and Meta/Oculus devices, it retains the franchise’s chaotic charm. Players appreciate the dense environmental gags and tight puzzle design, even if the VR implementation isn’t flawless. A niche pick for fans of offbeat point-and-click adventures.
