Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It is above average with its sharp writing and art style, well fitted to Sam and Max.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I'll admit it plays a bit better on Occulus, but I still enjoy the game overall - the visuals, music, and voice acting are on point as usual, getting to interact with Sam & Max's world is great, and the minigames are pretty fun... though I have a bit of a skill issue with some of them (ESPECIALLY Fizzball)
