I agree 100% with this part.

I know that I liked the episode, but I can't make a true judgment of it yet, as I played most of it while in a very tired state; yearning for my bed but forcing myself to play. I did enjoy it though, I'll replay it tomorrow maybe.

Also, was I the only one who was reminded of Monkey Kombat in the final puzzle of the game?

Im pretty sure thats the next episode so far all musical numbers are on the 4th episode remember.

Wish they did more with the noir thing. Maybe tell your story to a stranger in a bar... Talk to a dame... Scream at the commissioner...

But the second half was cool too. I guess it's better than splitting both of them into separate episodes.

It is hard to approach the pharoh because everyone was already exposed as a heretic before he changed the world so no-one became one (ho sal got it without ceating I don't know),the present has to be perfect and special otherwise you do not get the badge and the only way to do that would be by magic (how paperwaite and sam goty it) and the other is just weird.

[Friar]

I liked the start, and the end, but the middle bit in the museum just felt a bit average.

Yes. They're completely different. You can't compare "Oop Aak Eep" to "Hey, Skunkape, do you get free space-gas with your AARP card?".

It's my least favorite for the season so far, although saying that, the first two episodes were just brilliant. It just didn't flow as well as the first two, and like others have said, it was a little jarring. The noir section was hilarious however (although at the same time I was missing Max).

[JedExodus]

It was too easy. When i got into the mueseum I was stuck for a while, so I turned it off and came back to it an hour or so later. After that everyone was just too obvious I found, and identical solutions near the end were dissapointing.

However I loved how Papierwaite and Skunk'ape grew in this episode, I wanna know more about Norrington and I really liked the Sal character

It was maybe a tad dissapointing after 302 blew my socks off, but I enjoyed it and had fun with it regardless

[Zonino]

I dunno if it's just me but I can't say I find many of the episodes challenging. The hardest one for me was Moai Better Blues, and that was only because the instructions for the gongs were mentioned at the start in the middle of a rant from Bosco, which pretty much meant if you weren't giving it your full attention you may have missed it.

I do find the episodes fun though. As for this one I liked it. The Noir part reminded me of the Phoenix Wright series of games, so I found that interesting. The museum did seem slow, not really many puzzles. The second half brought it up again though.

[Alcoremortis]

I liked the Noir bit at the beginning. Noir!Sam is hilarious.

[Graywing]

I like it, but don't love it, it had its ups at the first half and downs at the second half. In the end I found it not one of the best S&M episodes, but still a good game. I try to distance myself from extreme judging. Saying I either "hate it!" or "love it!", because that wouldn't do justice to the game.

[Narval]

I liked the Noir Sam part a lot, the rest was OK but after the much too short Noir Sam it was a letdown - too bland - especially the Museum.

Also, much too easy, and significantly shorter than 301 and 302, and probably marginaly shorter than the episodes of season 2.

Not a bad episode, but not one of the best. Average.

[Guinea]

From a cinematic point of view: Excellent. Whoever wrote the story did an excellent job. I want to know more about Norrington, I wonder about Papierwaite's past, and I loved the new characters, Sal especially. And the voice acting was great as usual.
And do I even need to mention badass Sam?

However: Gameplay, not so much. Sure, there were some nice new elements such as the Noir part in the beginning and the dialogue puzzles in the end, and the few puzzles that were there were actually not too bad.
But most of the game felt like I'm just playing an interactive novel, not an adventure game. Most puzzles just solved themselves and clicked right into place after looking at them once. Idk, maybe I was just lucky to notice the pictures of things right away, but maybe it was just too obvious at parts.

I wouldn't say the puzzles were BAD, just, compared to the other episodes they were shorter, easier, and less.

[Gibbeynator]

It's not a bad game, it's just the low point of the season.

[Avel]

I enjoyed the Noir Sam part, but the lack of control (by which I refer to movement) during it made it feel as though it overstayed its welcome. I though the Museum part felt really rather short by comparison (if you don't go about in the mindset of dialogue whore at least) with only two real puzzles, but Sal was awesome during it so it gets a pass. I usually like reality altering cataclysm, so the Sammun-Mak world part was pretty good if only the "Hail Sammun-Mak" didn't overstay their welcome, puzzles were fun at least. I absolutely loved the final battles. It isn't often that we get to see Sam whale on someone and have it on-screen.

I dunno, overall I liked this episode, I want to love it, but between this and 302, it feels as though Telltale is missing some opportunities here and there (or rather it feels as though things are being cut). And that's somewhat disconcerting. Makes me wonder what would come of a Two-Month or a Month-And-A-Half gap between episodes.

[doodinthemood]

303 was brilliant. If 302 and 301 hadn't been made, then 303 would be game of the year so far. The main negative bit was the sudden change of atmosphere. Felt very disjointed and made it hard to get into the new setting for quite a while. The other thing was that it felt a bit 'safe', but after the wild inventiveness of 302, most games would.

excuse me, i just puked in my soup

[Secret Fawful]

Meh. I liked it, as if anyone is surprised. None of it felt abrupt, and people are seriously complaining after being able to visit Egyptian New York and the museum? I get the complaints, but for me, just those two things were good enough. I love Egyptian settings, and I love dark spooky areas like the museum. None of it felt too abrupt, I thought everything transitioned smoothly. Idk, it seems like it's just me though.

[sfox]

Bah, I really liked the part in the museum before the big change, but the rest of the episode parts with the interrogation and after the change wasn't all that great. Best thing about this episode to me is they revealed that Sal from Stinky's Diner is a cockroach

First episode of this season is still the best so far imo.
