Games of 2011: Puzzle Agent 2

(This is a cross-post of my review on Pixeldom)

     The original Puzzle Agent was a pleasant surprise. It used a fun art style and "Professor Layton” gameplay to tell a hilarious story about the insane town of Scoggins, MN. The sequel changes very little but, instead focuses on carrying the plot to it's epic and absurd conclusion.

     The game is simple. It's a traditional point and click adventure game that has you visiting different locations and speaking to people in order to solve a mystery. Frequently throughout the game you will be tasked with solving a wide assortment of brain teaser puzzles in order to move the story forward.

     The only complaint I can think of is how the game hits a running start and fails to fill in the blanks for any new players who may have missed out on the first game. Luckily, if you purchase Puzzle Agent 2 on Steam right now you will receive a free copy of the original game for free. It's also only around 2 and a half hours long.
