The first game of Sam & Max’s third season with Telltale granted our little white psychotic bunny pal mysterious mental powers and faced the pair off against a warmongering space gorilla with the conquest of the universe firmly on his mind. Armed with his new powers, Max stopped being an angry, fuzzy distraction and started pulling his weight as one half of the duo.
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."
I played the demo to the first episode of this and I couldn't get past the graphics. I'n my mind Sam & Max will always be cartoons, like in Sam & Max Hit the Road. That's one of my favorite games of all time and I couldn't get past that in the new games their voices are different and it's in 3D.
