It's an amusing enough follow-up to the first "Puzzle Agent," though I found a random handful of the puzzles to be considerably more inscrutable than anything in the first game. There was one instance where the animation seemed to break and replace all the characters with giant flickering black boxes, breaking the puzzles, and necessitating a restart. A few other times, I encountered visual bugs, but these had less of an impact on the gameplay.
Overall, it's more of the same, if a little more ragged around the edges (for no good reason). Passable!

Same deal as the first game, puzzles are a bit easier and also far less repetitive, and the story ends up actually resolving the plot threads instead of waving its arms and going "OooOoO Mystery!!!"
Still, it should have been a single game.

Story is intriguing and genuinely scary but the puzzles fall short
Great puzzler to spend a few hours, hilarious story!
Puzzle Agent 2 is everything its predecessor did right and more. This delightful, short point-and-click adventure game retains its quirky and charming style, immersing players in a world of mystery. While the graphics may not be perfect, they perfectly complement the small, enigmatic adventure. The puzzles in Puzzle Agent 2 are once again the typical brain teasers you'd find in many puzzle magazines. However, just like before, there are a few instances where information or instructions may not be entirely clear, posing a slight challenge. Most importantly, Puzzle Agent 2 wraps up the story surrounding the disappearance of Isaac Davner and the mystery enveloping the small town of Scoggins. The narrative unfolds through witty dialogues that never fail to bring a smile to your face, thanks to the bumbling nature of Nelson Tethers, our endearing protagonist, and the eccentric characters he encounters along the way. If you're hungry for more, Puzzle Agent 2 is a must-play sequel that effortlessly ties up loose ends while delivering an enjoyable and engaging experience
Puzzle Agent 2 is a great sequel to the first game as we get to continue and wrap up the cliff hanger from the previous game.
It might be because it was a long time ago I played the first game, but PA2 felt a lot more smoother playing. But as with the first game; the characters are fun, the puzzles are challenging and the story is absolute bananas!
I did like the wrap up of the story and it's interesting how there's a possibility for yet another game; although as we all know this will probably no longer be possible with the demise of TellTales games.
You definitely have to play this game if you liked the first Puzzle Agent game! If you haven't played it, play it first!!!

The Puzzles? A little less fun than the first game in my professionally unprofessional opinion. But the vibes? Oh the vibes are off the charts. Gnome related nightmares, a femme fetal in the best kind of way, and my will-they won't-they bestie Jim from vegetable crimes.
More of the first only some of the puzzles are absolutely diabolical! Much of it sitting upon guess work out of nowhere and as if they're trying as hard as possible to make you lose a this game, though I'm not certain if the ending is a cliff hanger or not, it didn't wrap up certain things imo.
After getting jumpscared by a garden gnome mid-puzzle in the first Puzzle Agent, the second game really makes you feel like Nelson Tethers: paranoid and vigilant even when there’s not a sneeze of danger
