I loved the first puzzle agent. So I'll be getting this one. More story and puzzles set in the same town with the same characters sounds awesome to me

I bought Puzzle Agent last month when it was $1.25 during Telltale's 75% off sale. I wish I'd just paid $9 for Puzzle Agent 2 and gotten the first free. I really loved it and I'm ready for more.

It's weird how the graphics are stilted like this on purpose, but STILL manages to cause tearing.

If you buy PA2 on Steam, you get it 10% off and it comes with PA1 for free.

The first Puzzle Agent was damn good. I'm guessing the second will be just as great.

This game looks great! I had never heard of this series before someone brought it up briefly on the Bombcast (I think). I may have to pick the first one up tonight, looks super fun.

I played the first Puzzle Agent on Ryan's recommendation. Enjoyed the first half of it, but the puzzles towards the end were INSANELY frustrating, and the story got way more serious than I expected. Definitely getting this one on my iTouch though.

This video made me want this game. I really like this, and I'm sad I missed out on the first one. Might have to dig deep in the poverty wallet and get them both.

@pyromaster222: You can get it already, the steam version actually has steam play enabled, but there's a bug causing it to show up as only for Windows. If you buy it though, you'll be able to install the mac version still

I love the story, characters, and world of these games but I just don't like puzzle games. I always get stuck on some stupid puzzle and get frustrated to the point where I just stop.

You really can't get stuck with the hint-system they have.

Maybe this one is better, but I remember one of the early puzzles in the first game just being unsolvable for me. My brain just couldn't wrap around the logic of one of them. I got all the clues and spent a good hour trying to do it, and I just wouldn't click with me. I had to go find a guide and when I found the answer I just shook my head. It was so off the wall crazy that I never would have guessed it, because of the way it was worded or some such thing if I recall correctly. When I find puzzles like that it really ruins the game for me and makes me not want to play.

That number puzzle 11, 12, 1, 2 would have frustrated me so much! It was like a bluff, there was no "puzzle" about it, it just restarted the number sequence! Its one of those times where a 5 year old would probably get it first time and a 25 year old would think it about for ages and have to use a hint!....saying that, dude i want this game now!

@mnzy: It might have, but I just remember this one puzzle where the way everything, even the hints, were worded didn't make a bit of sense to me. It frustrated the hell out me to the point that I could never get back into the game after it. Which is said, because I love everything else about the game.

@TheKing: As I told the poster below, it's actually on Mac now via Steam, there's just an error that is causing it to show up as only Windows. If you buy it, you'll get the Mac version right now though (plus it comes with Puzzle Agent 1)
