Great Game! Beautifully done, funny, and not repetitive, like some puzzle games tend to be. The puzzles themselves are moderately challenging, so they can be played with a child, with an adult's help.

I love this game. I love the riddle from this game. They aren't sometimes so easy, so you can think for a long time about solution. I recommend everybody, who wants to think.

A casual puzzle game for people who also like point-and-click adventure games. The puzzles are relatively easy, and there's a lot of humor in the story. The graphics are quite unique in their look.

A bit short, but that's really not unusual for this kind of game.

Overall it's a pretty decent puzzle game. A few of the puzzle made me think a while, and if you ever get too stuck they have an in game hint system. The only shortcoming of this game is the length. It's a pretty short game, and leaves you with a cliffhanger for Puzzle Agent 2. In the end though I look forward to buying Puzzle Agent 2 to get my puzzle fix.

Pretty fun and solid puzzle adventure game. If adventure games or puzzle games are your cup of tea, then check it out.

This is a wonderful classic Adventure. Nelson Tethers is a capable Agent forgotten in the bureaucratic depths of the FBI and handles cases nobody else wants. Kind of Fox Moulder would be in a cartoon... actually like in the series also... . So one day Nelson is handed over the case of his life (that nobody else wants to take care of) and so he departs to a village in the middle of nowhere to solve a case only a brain..., sorry puzzle specialist can solve.

Nelson is a loveable weirdo character supported by a great set of even more weirdo ´rural´ characters. There is also a lot of very subtle reference throughout the game. The graphics are timeless and stylish, the voice acting is among be the best to be ever staged in computer game.

The story and writing is great but feels rushed too often or just left blank. The whole set along with the dry humour reminds me alot of the movies made by Aki Kaurismäki or Jim Jarmusch.

The puzzles, are of very mixed quality. Jumbing from easy to insne in the next turn. So don´t forget to look out for chewing gums to get hints. Also, as the puzzles don´t change, the replay value is really low. Unless you want to relive the story, that you might not get totally during the first time. But this may also be because the story ends with a cliffhanger actually. The case is solved, the eraser factory is reopend. But the mystery is left unexplained. So you definitely WANT to play Puzzle Agent 2 which continues right where the first part left off. And you don´t want to miss that, if you liked this game, for sure.

This is a puzzle-based adventure, where an FBI Agent investigates the locals around Eraser Factory that's closed for some kind of unknown accident.

Story and Writing is great. They're fully voiced and animated.

most of stories are done wn Point & Click adventure. but adventure parts aren't that hard, instead this game's all about puzzles scattered around.

there's 37 puzzles total, few of them are same but harder puzzles of other ones.

Those puzzles are relatively easy, and there's helpful hints shown by chewing gums(Gums are randomly found in adventure parts).

You get rating on each puzzles, based on Submission attempts and Hints used. no time involved in your score so you can carefully think on them to finish them in fewer tries possible.

Graphic and sounds are nice, even though I don't know the original series.

Fun puzzle based Adventure but it's rather short if you rush through those puzzles. still worth $9.99 if you like logic puzzles!

The first thing "Puzzle Agent" will remind anyone of is, ofcourse, the Professor Layton series for the Nintendo DS - there's a hero, in this case agent Nelson Tethers of the FBI, who has to solve a mystery and to do so, he has to solve all kinds of puzzles along the way, ranging from 'rotate the tiles' puzzles to 'crack the code', etc.

How many tries it takes you to solve a puzzle will give you a rating, ranging from Borderline (too many tries) to Top Agent (got it in one), with steps inbetween. Agent Tethers needs to chew gum to concentrate, so when you need a hint you'll have to chew a piece of gum - during the game you collect more wads of gum for this purpose.

Overall the puzzles in "Puzzle Agent" never reach the complexity or ingenuity of the puzzles in the Layton games. They tend to fall on the easy side, although one problem I ran into quite regularly is that it wouldn't be clear for me what I actually was supposed to *do* to solve the puzzle (I was puzzled at what I was supposed to puzzle, I suppose).

That said, personally I didn't mind the ease of the puzzles - for me the puzzles are a sideshow, I play a game like "Puzzle Agent" for the wonderful drawings based on illustrator/animator Graham Annable's work and the rather strange and slow-moving story (which obviously reminds most people of Twin Peaks and Fargo). The drawings are very atmospheric, helped along by funny writing, solid voice-acting and a great musical score (as we've come to expect from Telltale).

I'd recommend this game to anyone who is attracted to the style of the game and the world it presents, but less if you're mainly in it for the puzzling (I know, I know, seems silly when a game is called "Puzzle Agent"..).

"Puzzle Agent" is supposed to be a pilot of sorts - if enough people enjoy the game, it could become another series of episodes Telltale Games would produce. Personally, I hope this one 'gets picked up'.
