Rushed and Several Uninspired Puzzles
Thorbie
Telltale makes amazing adventure games, and Puzzle Agent ranks up there with other series like Monkey Island, but PA2 falls short of PA1. The game felt very rushed with little time to explore. Unlike PA1, you aren't afforded the same freedom to explore the town at a measured pace and instead are directed to go where the story leads you. Also many of the puzzles take a back seat to the story and many are unrelated to the plot and require outside knowledge to figure out. I felt many of the best type of puzzles from the original game such as the logic questions were excluded from the sequel and instead many of the sillier styled puzzles were done to death here, such as the chain cutting puzzle or the photo rearranging puzzle. The game does answer some questions from the first game and raises many new ones and has a few grickle Easter eggs that don't disappoint, but the game lost some of its charm by being far too linear and rushed. I hope there are more games in the series as the concept is highly original with so many possibilities.
Weak and obtuse puzzles, buggy software

First the story: creative and weird, like the last game. The first Puzzle Agent had creative puzzles with decently written instructions; Puzzle Agent 2's puzzles are either so simple that they're not challenging a all, or the instructions are written so ambiguously that you have to blindly poke and fail a few times to figure out what you're supposed to do. Te software is also buggy, even after the most recent update - particularly in the "sliding furniture" puzzles, Nelson will often disappear, meaning that since yon cant see him, you don't know how to arrange the furniture - huge fun killer! I'm disappointed, TellTale - you can do way better than this. Love your other games (especially Sam & Max on OS X).
Great game, but bugs greatly detract from gameplay.

Even after the update, there are many spots where dialog is not played. There are also spots where the animations don't display smoothly and are quite choppy. I really hope these issues get fixed, as I'm going to stop playing until they are.
Great game

Puzzle agent is a great game but I can't play it right now. The screen is white and It apparently can't be repaired.
One of My All Time Favorites

I loved the first Puzzle Agent. I thought the story was unique and funny, and loved the puzzles. I was really excited to see Puzzle Agent 2 come out and I have not been disappointed. I have read some of the comments about puzzles being confusing, but so far haven't had any real issue. Some of these puzzles are undeniably tough, but I think that's part of the charm of the game. I wish I could give it more stars. Please, please, please, make a Puzzle Agent 3!
Fix my glitch and get five stars

It says the voice skipping is fixed but it continues to skip for me. And now I'm stuck in the house that was in the forrest, can't click anything and when I click the app it takes me directly to that screen. I loved puzzle agent one and I've enjoyed this one too, just wish I could continue. I paid seven dollars for this app so u better fix it
Glitches everywhere!

Absolutely a fun game, but it doesn't live up to the standards set by the first. Even if it did, the enjoyment is cut seriously short by all the issues with the sound in the game. Segments of dialogue go missing, sounds get stuck playing on a loop, I even had one random sound effect play out of nowhere. And, of course, while the sound is messing up the screen freezes and I'm left wondering if it'll come back, or if the app is about the crash. Very disappointing performance-wise.
refund please!

hi, the game doesn't work: slow, sound is choppy, unresponsive, and eventually freezes. the game will not play. your website does not address how to get a refund, please advise. i love your games otherwise.
Good, but not as much as its predecessor

I tend to agree with most of the reviewers—The puzzles are good on the whole, but there are a handful that are confusing until you hit "Submit" to see what will happen. In addition, the story isn't as good, IMHO. Without spoiling anything, I'll just say that things take a very strange turn toward the end that leaves you scratching your head in confusion. The graphics, music, and sound effects are still top-notch, thankfully. The app is also quite stable and the game is enjoyable to play. If you played the first, pick this one up, too. The story and puzzles may not be quite as good, but it's still very enjoyable!
