One of the rare instances where a "reboot" is just as good as the original source material. Tesla Effect manages to maintain the charm and style of the original Tex Murphy games while also updating gameplay to suit the modern era. It's very difficult to capture the specific style of a 90's FMV game, and Tesla Effect manages with ease. Every minute of the game was obviously crafted with love by the original team and fans, and it is evident. Puzzles can be tough to work out, but it comes with the genre, and the game features a hint system to help you out. So it is nowhere near as punishing as an actual 1990's style point-and-click adventure.

I highly recommend Tesla Effect to any retro adventure game fan, or anyone trying to get into the genre. I'd suggest playing the other three FMV Tex Murphy games first, but you could probably get away with starting with this one if you really wanted to. All in all an extremely satisfying ending to one of the most underrated, charming retro game series. I only wish I had discovered Tex Murphy much, much sooner.
