While multiple paths are interesting, they seem to revolve exclusively around which woman Tex would like to romance. All in all, I don't think this hurts the game too much. I miss Tex lambasting himself for violating PI rules, or calmly explaining that he was mauled to death by a pack of hungry coyotes. Instead of hearing Tex's inner monologue, we're too frequently left hearing Smart Alex – even durng death sequences. Your new PDA sidekick (voiced by Kevin Murphy) feels out of place in a Tex adventure and is rarely very funny. While the characters are mostly good, one in particular stands out as not: Smart Alex. Why can't you return to the resort whenever you want, even if there is nothing to do there? This all gives the game a very linear feeling. You also can't visit locations whenever you want, even when there's no reason to disallow it – e.g. Sometimes you're thrown from one scene to the next with a bit of exposition in between – rather than returning control to you. While the story is quite good, it can feel a bit rushed or disjointed at times. The main musical theme of the game is also excellent. The atmosphere in several of the locations is excellent, and manages to capture some of the atmospheric elements that made Pandora so good. While easier on this front than it's predecessors, it was still fun. The gameplay is what you'd expect from an adventure game: inventory and “logic” puzzles. I just wish there was more of this: the gameplay is about 90% the same regardless of the path. While these are all relatively small, most come with puzzles you won't get playing the game along another path. Unlike The Pandora Directive, the path you choose will affect your ability to access several locations and will uncover different story elements. The multiple paths and endings brings with it something new to Tex Murphy. The characters in the game are mostly quite good, with some familiar faces returning to Chandler Ave, and a few new ones. The story is a satisfying conclusion to the cliffhanger of Overseer and with multiple story paths and endings provides some good replayability.
Tex Murphy is definitely back and they hit the nail on the head, bringing the right balance of humour and drama to the story and protagonist. Let me start by talking about what the game gets right. If you like it, I highly recommend trying out Tex's past adventures. If you like a good story or adventure games, then check this one out. I think this game will please Tex fans and newcomers alike, even if it isn't perfect.

In my opinion, Tesla Effect falls somewhere around 7.5/10 (gave it 8 on here). If you are looking for it to make you like a genre you hate, well. In any event, if you like Detective games and adventure games, this game will be adored by you. I'd much rather have the latter than the former. And yet this game uses fantastic looking video to portray real emotions and had less stellar environments and people say it looks poor. Games with beautiful environments that try to make their blocky puppet looking human characters emote often come across looking laughable or downright unsettling (Mass Effect). I see the game criticized for having poor graphics, but this also doesn't make much sense to me. It's hard to take those criticisms with much sympathy. It seems like most of the negative reviews for this game seem to focus around the complaints "I don't want to be a detective" or "I don't like looking for clues". It seems like Tesla Effect is a game where you play a detective who walks around looking for clues. Tesla Effect is a game where you play a detective who walks around looking for clues.
