    Quick, thoughtful, well-constructed puzzle adventure

    I had first heard about Puzzle Agent on a Giant Bomb's BombCast and was intrigued by it.  I went and downloaded it the next day and couldn't stop playing until I was finished!  The game is just able the perfect length for a puzzle adventure game.  It's not too short where it feels like you didn't get your money's worth, but it's also not too long and drawn out which is pretty easy to do with puzzle adventures.  
     
    The game plays well.  The puzzles are thought-provoking and a handful of them are actually pretty challenging and require pen/paper and 10-15 minutes to think it through and write it out.  The storyline is whimsical and fun.  I was hoping it would be a little funnier but maybe they are saving that for the sequel!  
     
    If you like puzzle games, this is definitely one you want to check out.  The puzzles alone are fun, but the story that goes along with them puts it all together and really heightens the experience.  Check it out!

      Nelson Tethers is a new IP from Telltale games, a company with a pedigree for developing and reinvigorating adventure game franchises with panache and humor. While Telltale is known as one of the few developers to succeed in producing games episodically, Tethers is a standalone title based upon the unusual comic series Grickle, the brainchild of animator and all around pleasant Canadian Graham Annable.Nelson Tethers is a puzzle game in the vein of the professor Layton series, and features a dyna...
