It's more Puzzle Agent, but now it's focused on tying up all the loose plot threads from the first game so the creepy small town atmosphere is a little lost and also the puzzles aren't as good. Still going to recommend it because it's still a charming little game and I adore that distinctive Graham Annable art style; I just wish going from fighting a Minnesota gnome cult to fighting The Government™ didn't feel like such a downgrade. The main problem is that the puzzles feel just a tiny bit worse now and it made the achievements, which require you to solve all of them without messing up or using a single hint, extremely grueling without cheating and using a guide. (Which, as a quick aside, can we talk about the fact that this puzzle-based game incentivizes you to get every single puzzle correctly on the first try? And if you mess up one puzzle, you have to create a new save file? Professor Layton doesn't do this because this is evil.) The first Puzzle Agent's puzzles weren't amazing or anything but the batch in the second game feels like a weird mixture of rehashes from the first game, repeated themes (there are a lot of sequential photo sorting and slide puzzles), or questions with completely esoteric answers. I've played six Professor Layton games to completion before playing Puzzle Agent 2 and none of them asked me if I knew binary counting. My other problem is story-related. Since the writing is focused on resolving the mystery from the first game, you're retreading a lot of old ground and talking to a lot of the same characters, who now just feel too damn helpful and willing to help solve the mystery. There's a reason for this (the cult from the first game is falling apart) but the barely restrained hostility from all of the residents of Scoggins before they try to kill you to satisfy the whims of the town's Brotherhood was one of the best parts of the first game. Here, Nelson Tethers will bring up "hey, remember when you tried to kill me?" as a conversation option and it usually gets shrugged off as a "haha well, y'know how it is in Minnesota" before they give me the coordinates to my next clue. The main pushback you get comes from, as stated before, The Government™. And the occasional person going "haha gee idk man you sound crazy rn, ay". However, despite all of this, I do like seeing all of these characters again and it was fun seeing more of the astronauts and the moon gnomes and the hostile Minnesota law enforcement. Is it, as the common consensus seems to be, not as good as Puzzle Agent 1? Well yeah, but it's also a two hour long game so I can't bring myself to be *too* disappointed that this game tripped and stumbled a bit before reaching the finish line. But I'll allow myself to be just a little disappointed that there's less dead bodies and attempted murders via chainsaw this time around. I do, however, appreciate that Nelson Tethers does something that you would never see Professor Layton do, which is run naked through the woods after a government space laser fries his brain.

This game is a great continuation of it's predecessor. If you were left wanting more after playing Puzzle Agent, this does the trick. It's nothing overwhelmingly new and exciting, but it scratched the itch for me. I really enjoyed the puzzles and found quite a few to be challenging. Overall, I would recommend if you loved Puzzle Agent.

Great sequel to a great game that left me wanting more and wondering where the story could lead. The humor is still there and a bit more development on some characters. It has the same great pace of storytelling along the puzzles. Some of which I found quite challenging. I appreciate the limited number of hints that still make it a challenge. Just felt it was overall a bit short because of how much I was enjoying it. Looking forward to another sequel.

Puzzle Agent 2 continues the story that began in the first game. Agent Tethers is back in Washington and is told to forget about the case in Minnesota but he can’t let the unsolved mystery go. The game is much the same as the first with clicking for hint bubblegum, talking to the locals and solving puzzles. I felt the story found in the first Puzzle Agent was stronger than the story here but it was still a decent wrap-up to the series. I enjoyed playing it and was sad when it was over. I would definitely recommend these games.

As others have stated, you will have to play the first game as this sequel greatly expands on the narrative & picks up nearly right where it left off. Let's be real here - if you enjoyed the first one, pick up this sequel. If not, then it probably isn't worth your time. The game offers a good variety of puzzles coupled w/ an interesting narrative & unique aesthetic. I recommend.
