Not quite as good as Part 1
To get this game to work, I needed to put this file: dinput8.dll ...in the game folder. I did a G-search and found it. (Watch out for programs claiming to install it for you! It's a LIE!) Puzzle Agent 2 is an anthology of mind-bender puzzles with a wrap-around story involving a government agent revisiting a small town and investigating a coverup conspiracy. The puzzles themselves are the sort you'll find in "escape room" type of cell phone & tablet games. You can get clues to help you solve them. Using clues and getting wrong answers costs the taxpayers money but don't appear to affect the storyline. One thing I noticed more of in this game than in the first is that the solutions given to the puzzles (after you finish one, you can get a synopsis of the logic) typically aren't the way I solved them. In fact, some of the reasoning it uses cannot even be deduced until the puzzle is solved. You'll know it when you see it. It was fun to see the story (sort of) resolve, but overall, the first game was a better experience. A really fun series, I hope they make more!
