Nice Sequel
Puzzle Agent 2 continues the story of Nelson Tethers: Puzzle Agent almost directly where that one left off. This is a good, because the first game raised more questions than it gave answers.
Agent Tethers returns to Scoggins for more puzzles, sadly those are easier puzzles than in the first game. Except for maybe 2 or 3 most puzzles are solvable in a very few steps. This game is no "Layton", but it will require a lot of concentration.
Having played game one only 2 days earlier for the first time, I can tell you, the story is about the same: No branches or alternate routes. The insanity of the first one returns, but this time it goes a little over the top. Everything strange however is at least hinted at in the first game. This feels like the story was planned out from the start and split in two games. I have a bit of a problem with this: Both games are quite short and form one coherent story, why aren't they one game? Both games would be better for it.
If you liked the first one, you should check it out. At the very least to finishing the story.
If you haven't played the first one, currently the steam version includes both versions, do not play the second one alone. get the first one first, the story requires it.
In the end, I liked this game, mainly for it's quirky story and the nice price. The harder puzzles are truly worth it, especially the last hidden one, which took me a whiteboard and 2 hours to figure out. And I was entertained the whole way.
