Layton Games Ranked

Not counting Layton vs Wright, here's my ranking of the Layton games so far. I'll add the rest of the games after finishing them.

Fun puzzles, great storyline and one of the greatest twists in gaming for me. The ending literally made me tear up.
Misthallery has a nice vibe to it and Emmy is a good addition to the cast. Enjoyed the puzzles and characters in this one and the story was good enough, although I was let down a bit by the twist near the end. Maybe my expectations were too high after Unwound Future.
Puzzles already feel a lot better here than in Curious Village, although I don't think this game and the characters in it are particularly memorable compared to other entries. Also has the lamest twist in the series (from the games I played so far). Still was a good time overall.
Great atmosphere and a really good twist - unfortunately the age of the game shows in the gameplay department and it has by far the most annoying puzzles in the series with a really strong emphasis on mathematical problems. I'm not ashamed to have used a guide for some of those final puzzles - the difficulty spike is rough.
The initial premise was really intriguing, so I was really looking forward to finding out this particular mystery by myself. It would have been nice if the game didn't keep spoiling itself all the time - let me question things and be confused for once! Also the entirety of Chapter 6 is way too long and an absolute chore to play through. Overall the game has some good vibes though.
