Something along those lines. I think the basic story and premise of each episode (the things which, even with a cliffhanger ending, give it a sense of whole) did not require an overarching puzzle in each of them to provide that feel. What I mean is, the episode-specific task of getting off Flotsam is enough to drive the story without having to generate 3 pieces of pirate news. I actually loved this in the first episode, as it hearkened back to SoMI, but then every episode was structured the same way! I guess it just feels like filler, and a bit of a lazy design choice.

I certainly agree the amount of jungle puzzles in ToMI are a bit too much. Makes it look more like a "puzzle game" than an "adventure game".

I liked both Jungle Puzzles on Flotsam, but was disappointed with the same jungle being used on a different island in ep. 2
