it was honestly a bit disappointing, even though i enjoyed it a lot.

first of all, they made us believe (or at least they made ME believe) that katrielle would be looking for her father throughout the game, but in really she just solved her own cases and never really gave any answers to where her father was. and then i found out that those answers were given in an anime that i had to watch on mega because it was nowhere to be found. i felt tricked and lied to.

second of all, i thought it was cool that she was solving her own cases, but the cases where so bad like cmon guys. they were fun but you can't compare them to the mysteries from the previous games. you just can't.

however, having said that, i still enjoyed the game a lot and i really liked those puzzles that you could download daily, it was fun getting a new one every day

Bought the last spectre and this was in the box

I'm too stupid to finish this game, so I decided to stop in the middle and continue being addicted to League of Legends.

Avoid this game if you like this series, since its by far the worst one so far.

Katrielle does a poor job at following his father's legacy and ends up being a really bland and forgetable character. For someone who claims that will solve all of London's mysteries, its quite curious how she doesnt even bat an eye to the sight of a talking dog, or how the main mystery of the game, Layton's disappearance, is quickly overtaken by short, boring and predictable mysteries that no one cares about. The expectations may be the biggest problem of this game, just reading the premise and playing the prologue, you get certain ideas of what the game will be about, only for those to be proven wrong and go into a totally different direction shortly after.

Aside from the story being really bad, the puzzles are quitte horrendous, not really creative and I felt most of them were trial and error rather than a way to exercise your brain and enjoy your sweet time thinking about how to solve them. In other Layton games, I felt rewarded after solving a puzzle I spent a lot of thinking on. Cant say that feeling ever showed up while playing Katrielle.

We can only hope next game will be better than this; which, tbh, its not really hard.
