GATT's GamerX sits down with the penultimate episode of Sam & Max Season 3. Coming in right after the events of “They Stole Max’s Brain”, this episode continues where the last left off – an army of Sam clones chasing you without a reason. Telltell games has been doing a wonderful job with this series so far, does that trend continue with Beyond The Alley of The Dolls? Read further and you shall find out.
PC Gamer: "This penultimate episode offers a fantastic opening and ending to Sam & Max Season 3, linked by an oddly unfulfilling middle. The action starts with psychopathic toy-hunting clones of Sam rampaging through the city, and the series’ main players holed up and defending themselves. As for the ending, it’s one of Telltale’s best set-pieces so far."
GameReveolution: Last we saw our friends Sam and Max, Sam managed to reclaim Max's brain and place it back into his head after the crazy, infant, tyrannic, and absolutely annoying-as-hell Pharaoh Sammun-Mak stole Max's shell and made the world in his image. Then, at the closer, an army of Sam clones invaded the scene.
VGC writes: "Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls is the start of a very dark turn for the ending the Sam & Max: Devil’s Playhouse story arch. Events told in this chapter are truly shocking and nothing that I would have expected to take place in this story. Telltale Games has definitely surpassed the greatness of the past two seasons with this stunning piece of storytelling."
