### 2/5 — Gâchis

*2023-05-19*

L’ambiance du jeu est digne d’un véritable professeur Layton et le format épisodiques apporte de la fraîcheur mais il souffre malheureusement d’une histoire des plus niaises et d’énigmes parfois trop faciles. C’est dommage car l’ADN de la série Layton est d’offrir un mystère digne de se nom couplé à des énigmes challengentes.

### 3/5 — Less talking more story

*2021-11-07*

Need l say more

### 5/5 — Not Professor Layton, but still fantastic

*2020-07-23*

Loved this same! Clearly level-5 worked hard to produce more content for their games in transitioning to mobile. As other reviewers said, the split-screen is definitely annoying but you get used to it, it actually makes the gameplay a little slower paced which greater highlights the storyline. Dialogue was cute and the characters were quirky. Loved that there were more puzzles in this game than any other Layton game! Also I think longer game play time! 14 hrs for me not including extras. However most of the puzzles were nowhere near as challenging as the original Professor Layton games, there were so many hint coins in every location, and I guessed almost every single case result well before the storyline got there (apart from the last two) - was this game geared more towards children? One uniquely annoying thing was the moving around took an unnecessarily long time, it was awkward to tap so many things and not have a full map all the time. I preferred the more traditional map in previous games. Overall I think they did a fantastic job, I love Kat she’s a bold spunky unapologetically girly girl and I love that in a protagonist. More Katrielle Layton please Level-5!

Shout out to Sherl!

### 3/5 — Mitigé

*2020-04-05*

Le jeu en soit est bon, c’est vraiment génial de se replonger dans l’aventure Layton.
En revanche, la format du jeu je ne sait pas si j’adhère. 
J’aime beaucoup le fait des petites enquêtes mais je pense que faire 10 enquêtes qui n’ont aucun rapport avec le titre du jeux, et que le titre prend son sens à la dernière enquête qui n’a pas de rapport avec les précédente, ça laisse vraiment perplexe. J’aimer énormément le principe du fait que tout le jeux repose sur une histoire complète  comme les versions précédentes . Je m’attendais par exemple à ce qu’elle retrouve son père ?
Malgré ça, si un prochain jeux sort, je n’hésiterai pas à l’acheter en espérant qu’ils prennent le principe des anciennes versions 🙂

### 3/5 — Avis mitigé

*2020-02-28*

Grand fan de la saga Layton, j’ai été ravi de découvrir l’histoire du point de vue de sa fille qui est un personnage tout aussi attachant. Ce que je reproche à cet opus est le manque d’originalité comparé aux autres oeuvres sorties auparavant (la boîte de pandore étant mon épisode préféré) qui avaient une trame narrative bien plus intéressante. Cet épisode fait écho entre deux chapitres mais pas plus, c’est fort dommage...
Cependant l’ambiance reste tout aussi plaisante pour l’expérience de jeu et les énigmes tout aussi complexes que les premiers épisodes.

### 5/5 — A fitting continuation

*2019-08-19*

As a long time avid fan of the series, possibly my all time favourite franchise, I was so excited to play this, and the second I saw that opening video and heard that music, I knew I would not be disappointed. 

Apart from the odd puzzle that is a bit cruel, this game is a perfect entry to the series- with a beautifully cryptic story, great voice acting and characters, fun point and click gameplay and clever puzzles, this is a brilliant game that lives up to the Layton name, and is perfect for long time fans and new ones.

Side note- WHEN WILL WE GET ANOTHER ONE?!

### 5/5 — Un bon reboot de la série

*2019-07-19*

Très bonne adaptation de la saga Layton sur mobile. Des affaires plus petites et probablement plus adaptées pour des téléphones portables. Des graphismes modernes qui font penser au Masque des Miracles sur 3DS mais en HD.
Anciens fan comme moi, foncez ! C’est un vrai Layton mais un reboot de la série avec une nouvelle histoire. Ne vous attendez pas à un des plus grands jeux de la saga mais l’essentiel est là pour apprécier le jeu et revivre un bon moment en compagnie de là successeur du grand Professeur Layton.
Nouveaux dans la saga Layton ? Foncez ! Le jeu est très adaptée sur mobile et est probablement le meilleur jeu d’énigmes de l’AppStore pour un prix bien inférieur à la version sur 3DS par exemple ! Un jeu a avoir dans sa ludothèque !

### 5/5 — Refreshing

*2019-07-17*

This game lights up my life. Having played all the PL games I love it! It’s adorable and I love the aesthetic. Kat is an engaging character and no Mary Sue for sure.

### 2/5 — Far too much dialogue

*2019-06-29*

Thoroughly enjoyed Professor Layton, Curious Village as puzzles were easy to understand and the game flowed. Unfortunately with this game found some puzzles quite misleading but main problem was far too much dialogue. Spent most of the time tapping screen to get to a puzzle and finally gave up.

### 2/5 — Keeps freezing

*2019-04-19*

Really looked forward to playing this after enjoying the original. 
Completely frustrated because at level 2 the game will not allow me to progress. What a waste of time.
