Sam & Max Hit the Road has a unique art style and some genuinely funny moments, but overall, it’s an outdated and frustrating experience. The humor is offbeat and often hits the mark, with Sam’s dry wit and Max’s manic energy providing some good laughs. The visuals, while charming in a retro way, feel stiff and dated today.

However, the game is bogged down by overly obtuse puzzles. Many solutions feel arbitrary, relying on trial and error rather than logic, and the hint system does little to help. Backtracking is frequent, and the slow, clunky controls make navigating the world a chore.

While Sam & Max has its moments, the tedious gameplay and lack of clear direction make it tough to recommend, especially when there are more polished adventure games out there.
