Very charming, with a low-stakes, elegantly introduced setting. These games are very relaxing, although this particular title seemed to have a larger number of puzzles which fell into the categories of "stupidly hard" and "brain-dead easy." I seem to remember the followup (Diabolical Box) having a better balance of puzzle difficulty. Overall an excellent, if somewhat flawed introduction to the series.
I’ve never played a Prof.Layton game before but knew what the premise and gameplay was like. What a charming little game it is.
The storyline was slow to properly start due to the amount of puzzles that halt you - but that being said, it is a puzzle game and there are a lot to get your teeth stuck into.
Some of the puzzles I felt however were worded really strange, which made me come to the wrong solution - but maybe that’s the point for some of them?
I would have liked a little more action put into the narrative - but all in all I had a good time playing and some of the puzzle stumped me for a while.
