Puzzle Agent 2

My memory may be fuzzy but, number 1 seemed longer, more engaging and satisfying overall. This doesn't have the same eerie vibe exploring the town and finding out more about the story, more like a short wrap up to all the unanswered questions left in the original.

Even the puzzles in the original seemed better as they didn't go out of the game context to reference outside information that the game expects you to know. (Hint: Binary number system, and PI's digits. Great if you know them, but frustrating when it doesn't give you any context for number sequence puzzles.

The original Puzzle Agent I still recommend playing as a good example of a story driven adventure/puzzle game that manages to convey fear and suspense. But this with its explanations for the mysterious kills the magic that made the first one a gem.

TL;DR : Not as good as first, skip.
