I just played through episode four of season one of Sam and Max, hoping
it would convince me to buy the rest of the season. But there aren't
any puzzles. :/ Not once did I wonder what I needed to do or how to
do it. At one point, I knew I needed to get the truth serum but didn't
know why, but I don't think that counts as a puzzle; I just guessed I
didn't really need it yet, which was the case.

I did enjoy the humor. (Well, mostly. I find the rabbit thing
somewhat annoying.)

I expect I know the answer, but I'll ask just in case. Are other
episodes any more challenging?

I played through season one without taking my usual trips to UHS Hints.
I made small use of the built-in hints in the final episode, but that
was it. In season two, I've also made occasional use of the built-in
hints, but I don't think it was significantly harder than the first
season was.

Heh, I dunno about "skilled". I just like to get stuck sometimes and
don't mind if it takes a couple of days to get unstuck.

Thanks. I doubt I'll play them then. It's a shame, because there was
so much I liked about the episode I played. The graphic design and
voice work was great, and some of the dialog was really hilarious. I
watched Superball's song-and-dance four times.

Heh - that sounds like a reason to keep playing to me. ;)

They are, but for me they don't overcome the reason not to play.

I think the episodic format has something to do with it -- with only a
few locations, there just aren't very many things to ponder.
There /were/ a few times when I wasn't sure what I needed to do next,
but just going to a different location and clicking some things cleared
it up without any thinking.
