Puzzle Agent: A Review


        Do you like puzzles? If not why the hell are you reading a review of a game called Puzzle Agent? In Puzzle Agent you control FBI agent Nelson Tethers of the puzzle research division, who has been sent to Scoggins, Minnesota to get an eraser factory that supplies the white house back up and running. The unfortunately there is a large overcomplicated lock on the door to the factory, the foreman is missing, and everyone in the town has a unhealthy obsessed with puzzles. It's up to you to discover the secrets of Scoggins, but beware there are malevolent forces trying to stop you. Also did I mention that there are puzzles?
         Game play in puzzle agent is divided into a point and click style locations, and the puzzles. The puzzles in Puzzle Agent are a mixed bag, there are several unique and clever puzzles that are worth playing the game for, but at the same time there are some puzzles that aren't clearly explained, or mentally stimulating.
        For most seasoned gaming veterans nothing quite makes them quake in terror like a point and click inventory puzzle. Fortunately there are none in Puzzle Agent the style of gameplay is used to get agent Tethers to from point A to B, and interact with other characters. This is where the game really shines as the voice acting and cutscenes are great, and really suck the player in.
        The game took be about 4 hours to beat but I didn't complete all of the optional puzzles. If you can get this game on sale is is an easy recommendation to anyone who enjoys and intellectual challenge and is willing to bust out a pencil and paper to solve some of the more difficult puzzles. Even if you are not that good at puzzles the in game hint system will help you through the game. Did you know this game has puzzles?
