A welcome return, but way too easy.
On one hand, Telltale Games does a great job of bringing the color and character of the Sam and Max universe. The world is bright, vibrant, and zany, and downright hilarious.
However, the game itself was way too easy. Even without thinking too hard, you could easy complete it in less than an hour. Some of the puzzles were challenging and inventive (like the therapist' puzzle), but most of them boiled down to simple inventory usage, and with such a small number of 'rooms', it was not difficult to just try everything until you got the solution you wanted.
Irregardless, I think Episode 1 is a fair enough start to what hopefully will be a great series. I only hope that the future episodes will be more challenging without compromising the Sam and Max 'feel'.
