If you enjoy strategy/puzzle games like Hitman GO or Lara Croft GO but with a twist and some sophomoric humor, then you'll love playing this one! The game can be very challenging. Plus, since it allows you to backtrack while in the middle of a path (while moving from one point to another), this opens up a whole new range of strategies that you can then use to avoid the many whimsical enemies that you have to fight or avoid.

Agent Awesome is more of a stealth-based game since direct confrontation can often be costly, especially when you reach the later levels. So this means you'll need to plan your moves just so you can garrote your enemies from behind or the sides, put some distance between you and creatures that have a much longer detection range (I really dislike the dogs in this game >.<) and avoid creatures that you - the almighty Agent Awesome - for some reason cannot fight... maybe that's because I haven't purchased the correct weapons to counter said enemy though 😛

Talking about weapons, this game seems to be a F2P mobile port because the amount of credits you earn from playing levels is so incredibly low, making it almost impossible for you to keep up with the increasingly-difficult enemies by buying better weapons or consumables like grenades or health kits (Note that you can bring along several weapons and items). It's obvious the game wants you to "farm" the earlier levels for both achievements and credits, which does help increase the lifespan of this game because it only has 12 levels, but can make the game feel very tedious.

Agent Awesome also has a tiny little annoying problem with equipping items. I'm not sure why the game doesn't just save my previous loadout so I can just use the same loadout for every level rather than having to manually select my weapons (the same set) every time I want to start a new level. Yes, it's not game-breaking or anything like that but it sure rubs me the wrong way.

Overall
Agent Awesome is an increasingly-challenging strategy/puzzle game that's somewhat similar to Hitman GO or Lara Croft GO. The game does have its flaws, especially when you reach the later levels and realized that your character is not progressing fast enough to keep up with the enemies you need to face, forcing you to replay older levels for both credits and achievements, which can feel tedious for some. Agent Awesome not exactly expensive though so if you want to give your brain a little extra jog, this game will definitely be able to give you that... delivered with some crazy, juvenile-like humor.
