Très mid. Pas mauvais, mais pas impressionnant non plus
This review contains spoilers
it's fun! it's definitely not as good as the other layton games, but it's also not as bad as people act like it is :(
i enjoyed it but i think having that many cases put me off a bit - in my opinion removing maybe one or two of the cases and making the others longer would make this a lot better,,
my favourite was case 11, it was really fun and having katrielle's friends believe that she's innocent was sweet :)
i think case 12 in particular should have been longer,, having the last case be over as quick as the others (i think? it felt like it at least?) doesn't make it very interesting :( having clues throughout the game leading up to the final case would have been fun,,
i can see why people dislike it but it isn't That bad to me. it's definitely not the best layton game for me, but it has its good bits :)

Gorgeous, sometimes i turn this game on just to watch the intro video. Loved the music, puzzles weren't as good as they used to be but oh well. The different cases were fine. People complain about the story, did you forget about The Curious Village where, spoiler, everyone turned out to be robots in some kind of mirror town? The stories have always been wacky haha.
katrielle is just a fun character, the whole surroundings just feel right.
the puzzles are not as good as in prof layton series but i simply enjoyed spending my time in this game.

Me ha gustado mucho, es muy bonito y tiene contenido para aburrir. Es distinto a los demás Layton; sigue varios casos en lugar de una trama, pero son interesantes y divertidos.🕵🏼♀️
I've been wanting to play a game like Professor Layton for a long time and only recently noticed that Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy was available on Switch. I am aware that this is a spin off series and will not fully represent Layton in any way, but I was still curious. I actually liked the Mystery Rooms mobile game, and was curious to know more about the story of Layton's daughter, Katrielle.
Story: The plot is divided by several cases since Katrielle is a part of a detective agency and tries to solve various mysteries as she goes about in London. This is already a massive difference compared to Layton since that focusses on one plot to guide you and this having several unrelated plot points. This could be something people won't like about the game, but I rather enjoyed seeing these short cases of maybe 2-3 hours. There were a great variety of mysteries, fun people to interact with, and more importantly a great protagonist to get to know.
Katrielle inherits her father's intellect and passion for manners in the form of being a gentlewoman. However, she isn't afraid to show a more fun side to her as well. She does not feel like a carbon copy of Layton, and I love that. She loves her father and despite being a detective situated in London, she aspires to go on adventures just like our top hat archeologist, making this a fun origin story if they ever want to pass the gauntlet to her. She tends to joke around or get easily distracted at first glance, but paying attention to the plot you can see that she always like to think ahead and find a way to give everyone a happy ending while still have a good time. This personality works perfectly well with her partner, Sherl the dog, who plays a straight man in most of her comedic stories.
Gameplay: I've already mentioned that this game consists of several cases, but it's mechanics are still very similar to her father's series. Puzzles are placed all around the area and plot, and you have to use your own reading or intellectual skills to figure it out (or use a hint coin for some extra help). The best part as well is that all the puzzles are very different to one another. So you never have to worry about coming across the same puzzle all the time.
In short, Katrielle's game presents a fun puzzle adventure for all audiences that may differ from her predecessor's series, but still have other qualities (protagonist, funny writing, short burst story) that will let you have a smile across your face.
