Overall a good game, even though I found the ending to be a little disappointing. And although games of this genre tends to be rather linear, this one felt a bit too much like the main character was being railroaded into particular decisions, just to advance the story.
For the most part the game is a nice throwback to games like "Sam & Max" or "Simon the Sorcerer". However, everything pretty much falls apart in the last chapter, as both puzzles and story take a turn for the worse.
Great old-school PnC adventure with an awesome cyberpunk story centered around AI. I enjoyed this one even more than "Unavowed" or the "Blackwell" series. My only criticism really is the lack of hotspot highlighting. One of the rare games that I would consider a "must-play".
Pretty good game with decent puzzles. Styling a prequel after games from an older era was an interesting design choice. The mechanics work well, although personally I'd probably prefer the point and click style of the first game. One thing I didn't like is the save system. It's okay for the most part, but the automatic save after solving a case overwrites an existing save for the case, thus forcing you to re-play the entire case if you missed something, like a Mad Catter puzzle. Also, on my second playthrough (for the Mad Catter puzzles) the arcade game in case 4 bugged out on me. Pressing start after inserting the coin immediately took me out of the minigame.
It's probably best to think of the "Puzzle Agent" games as a single game in 2 parts. The second game continues the story where the first one leaves off and gives you more puzzles and more quirky character interactions.
Gameplay reminded me a bit of "Gone Home" with a dash of "The Room". Marking unsolved puzzles on the map was definitely appreciated. What I do not appreciate, though, is having to re-play the entire game to experience the other ending.
Good game, and reasonably priced. I had hoped for a couple more cases, though. And the game desperately needs a German dub.
Very enjoyable puzzle game, particularly for its price point. The quirky characters make it even more fun.
Good game, reminiscent of ye LucasArts adventures of old. Less detective-y than I would've expected, though. And there is no way any normal person would finish this game in just 9 hours.
Good story and decent gameplay (similar to "Darkside Detective"), but they should've tightened up the dialogue. I'm not a fan of repeatedly having to click through everyone's lines for several minutes. That's what cutscenes were invented for. I also would've appreciated an option for highlighting hotspots. The "Chicken Police" cameo was a nice touch, though.
