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
Think overall I enjoyed Puzzle Agent 1 a tad bit more, but god damn this is great. I really wish we could have got a Puzzle Agent 3. Maybe someday. Checkout Grickle's art and other stuff if you enjoyed the series.
A decent continuation to the first Puzzle Agent game, which was also good. Some mysteries should have stayed mysteries though.
Fun follow up to the original that ties up all the cliffhangers from the original. Definitely easier puzzles and more similar puzzles the whole way through.
Enjoyable though not very challenging puzzle game.
Tem uma melhora na história e nos puzzles em relação ao 1, mas ainda não consegue ser suuuuper ótimo.
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
Laytonesque puzzle game with Twin Peaks/Fargo vibes. Was a joy to play again but unfortunately it can be a bit buggy. For me at a particular point the achievements just stopped popping. Telltale Games strikes again! 😂
All puzzles completed, including bonus puzzles (34/34), no wrong answers, no hints used. If you enjoyed the original Puzzle Agent, this sequel offers more of the same, but little more. The puzzle count is increased slightly, but it's a bit of a shame that the game doesn't have much ambition to improve or expand on the original version beyond that. Still, despite one notable example of a very US-centric puzzle, the game retains the enjoyable core from the original.
Like the first Nelson Tethers game, this game is a really well written game with a lot of style, but it continues to be held back by mediocre puzzles. The game still nails everything about the presentation, it really does watch like a fun and goofy supernatural detective mystery thing. But the puzzles, they're not very good! They're repetitive, boring, and not very fun to solve the first time, let alone the third or fourth time. More fun to watch than to play!
Finished this one on the iPhone as oppose to the previous one on the PC. It works better on a mobile platform akin to professor Layton. The puzzles are much easier though. I only got 1 wrong answer the entire game and used hints on only 2 puzzles. The voice acting is great and the story is nice. Worth a play through.
i don't actually think it needed a sequel explaining things but there's also something nice about all those wacky characters from the first one actually helping you instead of hindering
