https://spectra.video/videos/watch/2c6e8f71-2256-437a-adf1-e0c1491f471c The Tex Murphy series' 3rd installment was one of the early 90s biggest FMV gambles, and it's arguably one of the few FMV games that managed to balance gameplay and full motion video. Tex must stop a doomsday cult with nothing but his wits while his mentor strains the sauce.

At the time, I bought both this and its sequel and enjoyed them. But a couple of years ago, I replayed Martian Memorandum and it rubbed me the wrong way from start to finish. Well, some day, I'll go there anyway, I'm sure...

I've been meaning to replay the Tex Murphy series, as mentioned in the description, it seems this series actually made good use of the FMV format.
