    So it's an RPG/Adventure and not an immersive sim. Duh.

    That genre distinction is pointless to the question of making the game better.

    I'm playing through SMT apocalypse right now and it suffers from the same problem. There are no buttons for jump and climb, and instead you have predefined points where you can Interact. This flattens the 3d space, making it feel like a glorified menu. So it's not a genre problem, it's a design choice, and it a choice that doesn't work for many games.
    Sam and Max wouldn't have been a better game if the virtual space was treated in a realistic manner and you were allowed you to explore it at will. This game would have.

    They also forgot to make it open world. Because open world is always better!

    There is no such thing as an immersive sim. Also everybody who use word "immersive" should be castrated abd burned at the stake.

    Sure-sure. There's only CYOAs and VNs, all the rest is heresy.
