4.5
When we struggle with a puzzle in a book, we can move onto another: when we stumble in Puzzle Agent, we're intellectually marooned until we come with an answer, usually through trial and error or glancing at Youtube in shame and defeat. I wanted a more non-linear adventure, where the puzzles emerged organically from the story. I wanted more plot and less puzzle solving, to give Graham Annable’s great artwork and the excellent characters some room to breathe. I wanted to be surprised, and dare I say it, puzzled.
