Professor Layton and the Last Specter

released on Nov 26, 2009

Last Specter is the fourth game in the Professor Layton series, and is a prequel that takes place three years before the first trilogy, detailing how Professor Layton met his apprentice, Luke Triton. The game includes over 170 puzzles. Professor Layton and the Last Specter also includes an additional role-playing game entitled Professor Layton's London Life, available from the start of the game. London Life, in which players interact with various characters from the series in a town called "Little London", was advertised to contain over 100 hours of content. London Life was removed from the European versions of the game in order to prevent a significant delay of the game's release for translation.

An often overlooked title in the series, while it is not as consistent as the previous entry, some very great scenes near the beginning and end on top of the great puzzles and world like usual make for a great last Layton game on the DS.

I really liked this game not so much for its actual gameplay which, while enjoyable, can be a little tiresome, but the art style, drawn backgrounds and designs are just absolutely gorgeous and im mad i didnt play this earlier in my life. The vibes from this are phenomenal

In 2009 I got the opportunity to go to Japan, where my Dad took me to Akihabara and let me run around with a few thousand yen to buy new and used games. I bought a copy of Heart Gold months before it was released in the US and felt like the coolest motherfucker ever. Anyway, when I was in Electric Town, they were showing a preview for this game on the TV and the only reason I didn't get it is because my father reminded me that I don't speak Japanese and I probably shouldn't get a logic puzzle game written in Japanese.

Definitely starting to realise how many puzzles in these games are just the exact same thing with slightly different wording. Still fun and charming. The cutscenes still impress me for being on the DS.
