The verdict
A short, charming, quirky sequel that wraps up the Scoggins story with the same art and humor, but it has easier, repetitive puzzles and a weaker story than the first. Skip it if you haven't played the first game.
Great for
Fans of the first Puzzle Agent who want closure, and players who like quirky Layton-style puzzles with a weird story
Main risk
Repetitive, recycled puzzles and a rushed, confusing story make it feel like a downgrade from the first game
What players love
Good continuation for first-game fans
