Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure
Description
Winner of Best Character from Adventuregamers.com as well as 10 of their Readers Choice awards including Best Story and Best Adventure of 2014!
Tex Murphy wakes up – disoriented and head pounding – on the fire escape outside his office atop the Ritz Hotel. Another typical morning for the last of the old-school detectives. Except it isn’t. What starts out as the worst hangover in history becomes a baffling nightmare: something – or someone – has erased Tex’s memory of the past seven years.
Motivated by lost love, revenge, and the world’s strongest coffee blend, Tex must retrace his own steps into a maze of unsolved murders, hidden agendas, and lost technologies of Nikola Tesla. Only by solving the mysteries of his past can Tex hope to regain his memory in time to restore what’s been lost and stop a terrifying future.

- Tex Murphy returns to add another incredible chapter to the classic adventure game series. Noir sci-fi with a very healthy dose of humor set the stage for Tex's latest mystery.
- The triumphant return of the FMV! With noteworthy actors and 1080 resolution, the colorful characters of 2050's San Francisco have never looked so good!
- The greatest mystery of the century is about to be unraveled. Tex needs to find out what's going on in a hurry, but he'll have to deal with mutants, killers, femme fatales, and a bad case of amnesia to get to the bottom of things.

7/10
Tex Murphy has been fairly successfully transported to the modern era, and maybe that's enough for the established fans. It's just a shame he didn't pick up enough new tricks in his sixteen-year hiatus for everyone else to take notice.

7.4/10
The familiar mechanics and themes of the game, combined with a better looking quality from its 90's installments, makes Tesla Effect a game fans will be happy to play. Hopefully, the humor and fun atmosphere of the game will spark interest for newcomers to the series looking for an adventure.

9/10
It's a bold experience; one that takes itself seriously enough to present the player with often-mature subject matter, but subverts its heavy themes with well-timed dark comedy.

Unchangeable bindings.
Unfortunately the game assumes that you have a particular keyboard layout and it is basically unplayable otherwise since it does not allow you to change the controls. Poor showing. Hopefully this obvious oversight is patched quickly.

Okay But Nothing Special
While I like a good detective story, I wouldn’t automatically jump at a 5 stars for this game like the fan base is doing. It’s an okay game, but nothing to really to write home about. Yes, it is different in that it has real actors versus the typical games today. Some of the green screening is painfully obvious and it takes away from the experience. I think it would be better to move to graphics as some of the acting was equivalent to a low budget B grade movie. Game play seems okay if you can handle the dumb humor. Mute the sound and attempt to read the words. The challenge with that is if you don’t read fast enough, you can’t really go back that easily. This forces you to have to listen to the low budget slap stick humor. May end up storing this game on a portable drive and getting back to it at a later date. Didn’t see a reason to push this to the front of the line of my games to play.
