Typically when a new release tackles a classic genre, I end up attaching phrases like “a modern take on…” or “an updated version of…” to the description. Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure requires no such preface. It wholeheartedly embraces its ‘90s adventure-gaming roots, proudly doubling down on the design choices and aesthetic motifs that turned the series into a cult favorite before it entered an extended hiatus back in 1998. Most notably, Tesla Effect relies heavily on live-action video. While I could never bring myself to fully embrace that (crucial as it might be to the franchise), Tesla Effect manages to be both funny and flawed independent of its dated delivery.
