in the past


Gameplay is the same as the first two Layton games, pretty simple moving around and speaking to people like a point and click adventure game but filled with brain teaser type puzzles. The story in this one is absolutely elevated though, the first two games had really fun mysteries but this game ramps that up to 11. It also throws in a shockingly emotional personal element as well, I felt like for the first time in the series we got to really know Layton as a character as well as his past. The whole cast has great moments as well it was nice to see them all again.The cutscenes are beautiful in this HD port so I’m very glad I went with this version for that alone, I really hope the other games get this sort of treatment eventually.

what the fuck are you talking about, none of this makes any sense

i dont know if im just tiring of the format or whatever but it feels like 80% of the puzzles in this are "heres 600 combinations to look through manually, pick the correct one" at which point its less of a puzzle game and more of a fuck me in the ass game

Flora was done so dirty in this game. It was kind of noticeable in Diabolical Box but here it's clear as day, especially when Layton is talking to her. He feels very out of character in those moments it's weird BUT other than that this game is peak. A true gentleman cries over the ending
