“The story is interesting, the style fits very well, the puzzles are varied and enjoyable.”
“I have been searching for a puzzle game that had an interesting plot with a fresh feel and this is it!!!”
“Great story, great design, just a great game, and chapter 5 was well worth the wait.”
“No 5* because the story has been too generic and predictable so far, there's a little too much back and forth in chapter 4 and I think the game could do with less 'haha' commentary and dialogs.”
“Strangely for an episodic title it doesn't have branching story paths which winds up being a detriment as once you beat the game it has no replayability for a while.”
“The first four chapters are great, but be forewarned if you buy this game that you're paying for an unfinished story which will likely remain that way.”
Agent A review
Agent A is more Johnny English than James Bond but there’s no harm in having a little fun as a spy.
75%Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise Review
No. Agent A isn't the next big adventure classic. The puzzles aren't as imaginative or challenging, the world not as captivating, and the journey not exactly that long or replayable. Classic or not, though, this is undoubtedly a very entertaining ride; a series of puzzles that are quite fun, especially if in search for something that is casual friendly, but also respects your intellect - and is cheap. As the cherry on top, it features a flawless and very pretty, '60s spy film style, with plenty of areas being wallpaper-worthy.
