500 Word Game Reviews: Under a Killing Moon

The main issue with going back and looking at an earlier game from a franchise I’ve already covered: I can’t help but make comparisons with the newer version using the same engine!

What better game to start the 2020s with than a title from 2014, which is itself a reboot of a 1990s franchise? 😛 We may yet see a new Tex Murphy game this decade too, though news on The Poisoned Pawn seems to have gone rather quiet…

I do make a few comparisons between this and the older Tex Murphy games, so if you’re unfamiliar with those, maybe check out my review of The Pandora Directive first. Or better yet, play The Pandora Directive. It is awesome. Then come back and read this.
