Better than part 1

If you played the first part and thought it was at least an ok game, you will like this one is better. I wouldn't go crazy and say that this is oh so much better, but it is much more enjoyable. I reviewed the first game as well. The gameplay is basically the same as the first part as it is a direct continuation of the first part. In the first part, he is sent to investigate a small town. In this part, he isn't happy with the outcome so he goes back during his own time to find the real answer and finds tthat the problem is bigger than he thought. Like the first game, you need to solve puzzles to continue with the storyline but there are a few optional puzzles as well. The puzzles are more numerous and usually more difficult. I had to take more time to think of the solutions and it was the final puzzle of this game that caused me to finally need to use hints. Another fun game worth playing.

Worse than the first

Puzzle Agent 2 feels very much like a DLC for Puzzle Agent 1, rather than a full sequel. Nothing much is changed from the first game, and whatever problems it had, this game has as well. Such as unclear instructions to its puzzles, repetitive puzzles, and a difficulty curve that goes all over the place. Puzzles seem to either be ones a child can solve, or ones you need mathematical knowledge to solve. I did find the puzzles here for the most part much easier than the puzzles in Puzzle Agent 1, but I suspect it's because some puzzles are taken directly from the first game, while others are repeated so many times, they become easy. And like the first game, some puzzles have several possible solutions, with the game accepting only one - usually the puzzles dealing with a series of numbers or objects. As far as plot goes, it's a disappointment as well. The mystery behind the disappearances in the town of Scoggins was interesting, but its conclusion seems hastily put together without much thought behind it. The game also feels a lot more linear than the first game, which was already fairly linear. It seems you're always told where to go and what to do. You're never at a loss as to how to progress in the game. The dubbing in this game also feels like it's a step down from the first game, maybe partly because there are so few conversations in this game. Overall, Puzzle Agent 2 is a disappointment, but having loved the premise so much, I wouldn't mind playing a third installment. It would need to have much better quality control, and have much more content to make it feel like a proper game, and it'd need to take place far away from Scoggins. That way maybe the series can reach its full potential. I just feel that with some extra effort put behind it, Puzzle Agent 3 can be amazing.

Great sequel!

Puzzle Agent 2 is a great sequel to the first game as we get to continue and wrap up the cliff hanger from the previous game. It might be because it was a long time ago I played the first game, but PA2 felt a lot more smoother playing. But as with the first game; the characters are fun, the puzzles are challenging and the story is absolute bananas! I did like the wrap up of the story and it's interesting how there's a possibility for yet another game; although as we all know this will probably no longer be possible with the demise of TellTales games. You definitely have to play this game if you liked the first Puzzle Agent game! If you haven't played it, play it first!!!

Puzzle Agent - Continued

More of Puzzle Agent 1, a direct continuation of where the first game left off. If you liked the first game, you'll naturally like this one too.

Agent Tethers and the Diabolical Gnomes

If you would combine sequel and first game you wouldn't be able to find differences. Still a fun experience that is worth your time.
