Having played all the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy now, I've started to get tired of the writing style in Layton games where they throw twists without good foreshadowing or lead up between games. It really makes me feel like questioning everyone's motives without any reason. For puzzle games, it would be nice to have more payoff in puzzling out the plot. This game isn't really that much worse than the other Layton games, the series has just lost its charm for me.
