I almost feel bad criticizing Under a Killing Moon because there are some definite bright spots to it.
This quickly leads the intrepid Tex however into a larger case involving a dangerous cult. When the game starts, you take on a simple case investigating a burglary. Comparatively, Under a Killing Moon felt like a chore.įor the uninitiated, the game follows the adventures of the titular Tex Murphy, a private gumshoe trying to earn a living in a future where nuclear wars have left much of the populous mutated and living uneasily alongside normal humans born with a resistance to radiation.
Modern adventure titles like Telltale’s The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us have ranked among my favorite releases in recent years and back when I looked at I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream I walked away from it feeling really positive. Granted, my time with adventure games on the whole has been pretty limited, but the experiences I have had, by and large, have been really positive. A game might be flawed but you can still pretty much guarantee that I’ll have some fun as long as it has spaceships that “p-koo! p-koo!” each other.Īfter playing Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon however, I’ve come to the conclusion that point-and-click adventure games aren’t that sort of genre for me. There’s something about RPGs, for instance, that I inherently like. There are some game genres where I can usually walk into any random title and be fairly confident that I’ll find at least a base level of enjoyment.
