Neue Rezensionen von Giga Hussar

Of note : I only recommend this game for the people who loved the old point&click adventures of the 1990s.

This game has a lot to love for the old farts of us who played the old P&Cs. The same branching dialogues, the same silly puzzles that usually aren't difficult, and the same questionable logic which determines which random objects go together to make functional objects to solve problems.

Pros:
~ The 4K camera work looks great. The quality of the FMV portions look fantastic.
~ Cheezy dialogue and acting. It's a YMMV thing, but I love it.
~ For those who have followed Tex through his recent adventures in the Pandora Directive and the Tex Murphy Radio Saga, it attempts to tie up all the loose ends and explain what has all happened. It's a pretty well written story.
~ Multiple endings based on dialogue decisions, and while some are better than others, Sapphyre's is great.
~ The game is legitimately funny.
~ All digital, so NO DISC SWAPPING HALLELUJAH!
~ Tons of references to the earlier games, especially Under a Killing Moon.

Cons:
~ The puzzles aren't really as difficult as you would think. And the game follows a fairly predictable thread of 1.) Talk to people on the street 2.) Find items needed to get into a place 3.) Find items in place, and solve puzzles, 4.) Rinse, Lather, Repeat.
~ The camera work is great, but the in game 3D world looks like it came right out of 2003, in a not good way. The world is much more open than previous games, and there aren't the frequent, epic length loading screens, or disc swapping THANK GOD.
~ If you didn't play the earlier Tex Murphy games, especially Overseer and Pandora Directive, it may be difficult to grasp the story. Under A Killing Moon is suggested, because it's the best, but doesn't contribute as much to the story.

Ultimately, if you're an oldschool Tex Murphy player, a fan of Point & Click games, interactive movies, or like comedies with a film noir setting, you may love this game. If you're not into those, you could probably pass on it.

I still can't make anything more complicated than a cannon powered hammer to knock over buildings with.

10/10 great start to a fun concept.

A fun game which will teach you to spell!

As an aspiring doctor I played this game in preparation for the MCAT and received a fantastic MCAT score!

11/10 worth the buy

A mix between modern RPGs and old rogue-like dungeon crawlers with a penchant for satire and sillyness. All around enjoyable game.

Going Rogue + Permadeath options are great for old time rogue/hack/larn/angband masochists like myself.

Very easily to get hooked on. Brings back the feeling of old point and click adventures despite being mostly conversations with occasional quick time events.

The game is incredibly atmospheric, and the voice acting is excellent. The art style is striking, and really makes the game shine.
