As this isn’t an action title and doesn’t require precise commands at any point, the controls are pretty much a non-factor. You stack/unstack, talk and use your special ability with the face buttons while the shoulder buttons are used to keep track of your objectives.

The fact that he still hit over .325, scored almost 90 runs, drove in 75 and – as per usual – drew more walks than strikeouts yet it was considered a bad season tells you why Mauer remains the No. 1 man at this position.

Grab him if you think he can help, but keep the bait knife close at hand.

This map takes place at an Antarctic base inconveniently constructed on either side of a gaping chasm that players can tumble into (and seemingly never land). There are several ways across, which combined with multiple entry points to every building, prevents snipers from getting too comfortable. The ice bridges located on Discovery are destructible via explosives or gunfire and destroying them can cause you to alter your tactics on the fly. It’s a solid, fast-paced map.

It’s streamlined and efficient. For a game designed around jokes, conversation, and puzzles, it works well. TellTale would be wise to take the crisp feeling of Strong Bad’s movement and bring it into the new iterations of its other games.
