A bit disappointing

The Tex Murphy series had reached its pinnacle with The Pandora Directive. In Overseer we get even better FMVs but the story this time around is kinda lacking. Basically, it's Mean Streets again. You no longer have multiple endings or even different paths to take as in TPD. Acting is mostly on par with TPD, though it's lacking the massive cast TPD had. Still, there are some great actors like Michael York or Henry Darrow. You still get to choose between Entertainment and Gamer Mode, although there is not such a huge difference to them like in TPD. You can bypass some puzzles in E Mode and get extra points for solving puzzles quickly in G Mode. The puzzles are your basic Tex Murphy fare with some real mindbenders and many jigsaw letters and photos. Conversations are still played out by selecting one of three options, but those have no real effect on the story for the most time. A bit on the downside is also the fact that you get a massive cliffhanger at the end of the game that never got resolved in a game. There's still hoping for Project Fedora, though....

Tex Murphy: Overseer

As far as I am concerned, if you have Windows 10 (64-bit) don't bother buying this. I remember the game from years ago and wanted a stroll down memory lane. However, I only played the game for approximately half an hour. The majorrity of this gameplay was watching the intro sequence. I only pottered around in-game for a short while because early on (first thing really) I experiendced problems with the graphics/environment. The game starts in Tex's office but there are "missing" items in the scene - for example filing cabinets. It is an office and you expect to explore what is around the room but there are images 'floating' around the scene. I suspect that these floating items are in the filing cabinets but I have real problems trying to interact with anything. I thought I would persevere - if there are glitches, fine. But, I gave up quickly. I managed to amass 24 minutes in-game and thought I will report the problem, or refund the game at least. The reporting process, which I have never ever had to look at before, seems more complicated than some of the adventure games I download and play Anyway, the game was cheap so I am not so bothered about refunding that I will go through the whole rigmarole of filling in this, that, and the other just to get a small amount of money back. I googled for a possible solution and thought it isn't worth my time trying to find a solution. If a game is being sold it should be sold ready, or at least with warnings. Never mind. On to the next project, eh? Steven

Great

I played the first 2 Tex games back in the mid 90's and never got a chance to play this one. The 3D engine is dated and the over all rendering is kinda bad. But the story, and the humor, they make the rest of the game look like Crysis 2 on meth. This is a awesome game, buy it, buy it now.
