Telltale Games' Puzzle Agent is a Professor Layton-esque game based around Nelson Tethers, an agent from the US Department of puzzle research investigating the town of Scroggins, searching for why the local eraser factory has stopped sending their usual shipment to the white house. The charming visuals and great voice acting bring this bizarre story to life and make it a journey worth the entrance fee.

Unlike many apps, Puzzle Agent is a very slick and professional feeling game which wouldn’t feel out of place on the pc or home console.
Storytelling is a mainstay of telltales back catalogue and this game is no different. Perfectly delivered voice acting, nicely rounded, if entirely stereotypical, characters and a quick paced, intriguing story make this game a joy to play.

Unfortunately it isn’t all sunshine and lollypops. The jokes can fall flat sometimes and the breaks between puzzles can stretch on for longer than you'd hope. But the biggest issue I have with this game is the length which lasts just shy of 2 hours. This is fine for the price but I could have gone on for a little longer. Hopefully this game will pave the way for a sequel or two.

At just £3.99 this is a game that every ipad gamer should purchase but especially anyone who enjoyed the professor layton games
