CheatCC says, "The core gameplay, aside from Sam’s hard-boiled interrogative opener, however, is more or less the same throughout. Unlike episode two of the season, which refreshingly allowed you to “play back” the past events of Sameth and Maximus in whichever order you want (the current generation of freelance police discovered a series of old film reels in the underground resting place of the devil’s toy box), They Stole Max’s Brain! reverts back to similar straightforward puzzle mechanics of the season’s first episode."
Game Revolution writes: "The third episode of Sam & Max's season three can be considered one of the most straightforward games ever to come out of Telltale. That surely wouldn't be a good thing if They Stole Max's Brain! wasn't planned or executed well. Thankfully, it is!"
Good to see it's a good game,
Us European PS+ suscribers will be getting the whole season for "free" next month.

Diehard Gamefan: "The third episode of Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse is here, and it gives us a clear premise right in the title. How far will you go to save your best friend’s brain? A mix of detective film noir and the series’ usual hijinks guide Sam – and us – as he shows us just how he goes about answering that question."
GD: "After Episodes 1 and 2, Telltale Games’ episodic Sam And Max Season 3: The Devils Playhouse continues, with Episode 3: They Stole Max’s Brain. Can you guess what the main premise behind this one is? Yes, after an ill timed bathroom break, Sam returns to find ‘they’ stole Max’s brain! He therefore sets out to find how who’s done this to his buddy and kick arse. Sam’s anger sees our favourite six foot talking dog lose his usual calm demeanour and go all film noir detective on us."
