Players find Agent A a charming and clever escape-room puzzle game with a retro spy aesthetic. [1][2][3] Many recommend buying it on sale due to its short length and limited replay value. [4][5][6] Some reviewers criticize tedious backtracking and weak writing. [7][8][9]

The artstyle of the game is really cool. The room design aesthetic wise is also awesome. However, I can't recommend the game even with the massive discounts. It's just so.. tedious. I spent most of the game just walking back and forth between locations and not enjoying any bit of it. Because the game is point and click, the transition animations are so needlessly long winded, and every room you want to get to has at …

For $5 totally worth it and maybe best played on deck :) Finally a game I can finish, took me 9 hours but I made sure not to look up anything and it was an easy game to play while watching TV. Old Style Point & Click vibes and would happily play a sequel. Even though it is unsupported on Steam Deck, it works flawlessly!

TLDR A stylish escape-room puzzler with simple puzzles and shallow narrative, padded by unnecessary backtracking. [12/20⭐, 4h🏅(+3h all achievements), 2/5💡] Context Agent A is essentially an escape-room game disguised as a retro spy adventure. The setting allows for a bit more narrative than most games in the genre, but unfortunately the writing is weak enough that it ends up making the whole experience feel …

Agent A: A puzzle in Disguise is a straightforward but engaging escape room type of puzzle game, where you have to observe and remember your surroundings and click on absolutely everything that’s interactable because otherwise you might miss something crucial. You’re investigating a spy in her own home and you have to disarm locks, hack devices, play the piano and feed her cat, all in order to make your way through …

Really fun & light-hearted puzzle game where you try to thwart 'Ruby LaRouge,' an assassin who works for the nefarious organization, "Havok" (think: a much sillier version of Specter from the Sean Connery James Bond movies). Gadgets, secret rooms, ciphers/codes, key items, intricate little sequences as you pick apart your surroundings and gain more and more freedom of movement around Ruby's secret base. Make friends …

Players who liked Agent A: A puzzle in disguise talk about clever and satisfying puzzles; those who didn't talk about tedious backtracking between locations. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The iOS version has received "generally favourable reviews" according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Despite many fans asking for a sequel Yak & Co took to Twitter on May 11, 2020 to say that "Nothing is planned yet, but it's possible." Fans have also commented on hopes for an Agent B game following the post-credits scene of Agent A. Nintendo World Report reviewed the Switch version of the game and praised its setting, its visual style, the dialogues and the "simple but fun" puzzles. At the same time the magazine criticized the lack of "a serious challenge" and game features that the Switch port is missing.

Many hours passed, oblivious to the outside world. And, oddly, I might actually sleep tonight. Good day all 'round.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game goes on sale for as low as $1.59 and is one of the best deals on Steam. It's one of the better point-and-click games to come out in the past decade. Just don't buy it at full price; the hour-to-dollar ratio isn't worth $20.

neutral · AI labelView post →Good story. The mood and tone is nice. I liked the puzzles, and they are medium difficulty if you take screenshots and notes for reference during longer puzzles, otherwise the game would be very difficult. The one thing that drags the whole experience down for me, is the fact that the audio is of incredibly low quality; Either (1) strong dynamic compression, (2) high size compression, (3) low sampling frequency, or (4) low bit depth – or any combination of these – degrades the experience and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Agent A was never going to be a particularly complex or sophisticated game. That much was clear from the demo. Regardless, I thought it would be some good, old-fashioned mindless entertainment. Unfortunately, as low as this bar might sound, Agent A does not clear it. Firstly, the writing in the narration is horrendous. There are constant missing periods or other punctuation at the end of sentences. Worse, there are many comma splices. In the context of informal dialogue, this might have been…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To say, I would recommend if I buy this on mobile or pad, but not for a PC. I finized the game, for the compelte achievement, even play tiwce to get the last one. But it is not enjoyable when playing through. The graphic and atmosphere are attractive, but the control is designed for touch screen, not for a console. The back trace is very annoying. The puzzle games are OK if they are puzzle games. Some of the tasks in the game are running around to collect information, missing part of an…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A solid escape room game. It took me about four hours to beat and I had a good time while playing it. While it was mostly a straightforward, predictable spy thriller, there were a few twists that I enjoyed. I think it's best to get while on sale, as I think $20 is a bit much since there's not really any replay value.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Owned originally back on X-Box shortly after the 360 was retired and purchased again for a run through on Steam. The game largely plays the same as I remember. Full controller support on this one. The game is not deep, but holds your attn. through the levels and is a pretty intuitive, light puzzle adventure game. Nice general aesthetic. No bugs encountered. Solid game to pick up on a sale. Only complaint (and I hate when game devs do this) is that there is a speed run achievement you absolutely…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →there's no glaring issues, but the game is 3.5 hours long, with a decent amount of backtracking & tedium. for $10 I'd recommend, but $20 is too expensive for what this is.

neutral · AI labelView post →Wow. I actually finished a game, which is pretty rare for me. "Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise" is a fun little puzzle-based adventure game with a secret agent theme and a good sense of humour. I've played it on and off for a while on the Switch as a relaxing game to play before bed. Recommended.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy It On Sale You bought the game for $1.39 (or your local currency equivalent) right??? If you did, then you made a great choice! The game is short (less than 5 hours of play time to complete 95% of the content) but that just means it doesn't overstay its welcome. The puzzles are VERY approachable, which doesn't mean they are easy, but that you CAN solve them if you just strain your brain-muscle a little bit. This is a PERFECT game for new booties to the classic Point-n-Click genre of games!…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hmm...for a dual-player experience, it might not be the best fit since it's more narrative-driven and it builds the narrative through individual choices. For a co-op puzzle game, I'd probably recommend Agent A (first-person puzzler a la Myst) or Loco Motive (point-n-click adventure game).
neutral · AI labelView post →One of the worst "puzzle" games i've played this year, I say "puzzle" because most of them weren't puzzles, it was just a matter of getting a piece of information somewhere and then using it elsewhere, nothing to figure out or think about. The worst part about it was the backtracking, even with perfect knowledge and play the amount of backtracking is truly obnoxious and incredibly unnecessary. A smaller but still annoying issue was the MC's dialogues being completely tonally out of place…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even though it is clearly a ported mobile game, i was amazed how much better this gameplay style of point&click games are. With the zoom in-out feature, you can always be sure that an item is important, without needing to highlight or print the name. It even give you that little excitement when the zooming happen bc you know you found smth. As for the character movement, its a blend of the best. * You don't have a guy walking around (Monkey Island) * You not freeroaming in 3D space (Talos…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I found the puzzles a bit repetitive and did not enjoy the humor that much. The player also has to accept that clicking everywhere on the screen is the core gameplay mechanism. That said, bought for barely more than 1€ during the summer sale, it delivered for the price. So, recommended in that context.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The problem with many puzzle games is not that the player cannot solve the puzzle. The problem is that the player gets bored and wants something new.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a chill puzzle game. If you are into this genre, you'll like it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite game we've played this week was Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise. It's a stylistic 60s-vibe spy game that leads you through a villain's lair, which requires a somewhat Rube Goldberg set of puzzles and actions (ie. You need a screwdriver to open the vent to get the blueprint to...and so on.)
positive · AI labelView post →And dont forget to get your AI Agent a Game Pass subscription so they don't get bored, bored agents doesnt work well. And of course they also gonna need extra One Drive storage. And... you have a Windows license, right? We dont run on Linux. Microsoft's vision of future is just techno-slavery.
neutral · AI labelView post →IDK bout you all but as a kid I wanted to be a secret agent or spy so bad lol. I love the puzzles on this game and that the hints were in the dialog. It makes you actually pay attention to what the characters are saying instead of just skipping through text like you do in most games. You feel like you're actually investigating crimes and uncovering secrets, and the puzzles are challenging enough to make you think but not so hard that you want to rage quit. What really impressed me was how the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: only buy if its on sale Wish this was a neutral review, but the game scored just low enough in my books to dip into the negative side. Pluses: Puzzles!, occupies your time for a few hours, pretty art, animal engagement, bad dad jokes that also have a certain charm Minuses: Ruby's voice acting is interesting, half the gameplay is moving between locations, and the big one--A lot of the puzzles are not very intuitive, and it gets to the point of 'clicking on things until something…
