Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse
Underrated PS3 Games That Deserved More Love
The Walking Dead was the first game to use the current Telltale Games’ adventure game formula, but it was by no means their first game. Preceding that was the Sam & Max series. The previous two games released for the Wii and Xbox 360, but The Devil’s Playhouse was a PS3 console exclusive.
Before The Walking Dead, Telltale’s adventure games played more like adventure games made by LucasArts (the developers of the original Sam & Max game), retaining more of a classic point n’ click feel. Case in point, Sam & Max The Devil’s Playhouse is a more open-ended, puzzle-centric game.
Don’t write this game off because it doesn’t use the now traditional Telltale Games style. It still has all the charm that you’d expect from the company, and it’s really funny to boot.
