Previously, my only exposure to the Professor Layton games was the crossover game with Ace Attorney, and I thought it was only polite that I check out what the rest of the series is like, starting with the first game, this one. I quite enjoyed it! This game was cozy and the puzzles were mostly fun, though some were tedious (trying to get the game to recognize the letter f took almost ten minutes) and I never appreciate having to do math. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. It was definitely very reminiscent of the crossover game's ending and it was definitely better executed here so I suppose there's that.

Overall, this was a charming experience, and I'll probably continue with the series and continue to look up the answer every time the game tries to trick me into doing math. Not today and not tomorrow.
