OMG!!! I loved it so much!!!!
This game is awesome!!!! It was a little disappointing at first when I discovered that we weren’t playing with Hershel anymore, however, I LOVE the new characters in this game!! And on top of that, I also loved doing all the cases I just wish they would add more!!!! And I also wish there was a way to rewatch the cutscenes without having to redo the cases... but other than that I 100% love it!!!!! 5 stars!!!!! (Ps: I totally did not see that ending coming!!!!!! It was so well-thought-out!!!!!)

Worth a play, but not as fulfilling
Enjoyed playing, but the puzzles don’t get difficult enough. And the stories are charming but there is SO MUCH DIALOGUE and the solutions of each case are pretty obvious from the beginning, so it’s a looot of clicking thru talking to find out what you already know.
There is also an error on puzzle 101; the solution is the opposite of what is asked for. I thought I was just not getting it but found agreement from everyone online.

Not worth the money
Some people have complained about too much dialogue, but the mundane mysteries are a worse problem. The “crimes” lack excitement, intensity or villains. Each mystery is neatly solved with everyone happy including the miscreant. Motives for any wrongdoing are not particularly interesting (loneliness, for example). Puzzles are OK, ranging from simplistic to interesting to impossible to solve without hints. The characters are cute though. Probably best for preteens.

Good game but
Katrielle and Ernest should have kissed. This is an injustice that I cannot tolerate.
Tedious UI and Pacing
The user interface is slow and tedious, requiring tons of tapping and switching menus or screens. Much of the dialog is fluff, doled out in single sentences, each requiring two taps to get through, unless you wait for them to be slowly typed out and tap at the end.
The first two mysteries are solved merely by tapping through the tedious interface. Most of the puzzles in that time are random rewards for tapping around the screen, with very few puzzles relating to the case in any way.
After several hours of play, I just couldn’t be bothered to continue tapping my way through in hopes of finding something fun.

Great
Great design of the storyline, puzzles and concept. A lot of times I am trying to guess what the question is asking, but that’s part of what makes puzzles puzzles. 5/5
So much dialogue. I just wanna solve puzzles!
When I first started playing, I read every text bubble, but after awhile I got bored and rapid fire tapped through because there are literally no puzzles to be solved for majority of the stories! Even then, I’m left tapping the screen 10 or 20 times to skip all the filler dialogue!
No iPhone X screen support
The content is good, but please support the notched displays in iPhone X and iPad Pro.
No where close to the original stuff
This game is not even a shadow of the original Professor Layton series. I am midway through the game and am tired of reading through all the unnecessary feel good dialogues between the characters. The originals had a minimal number of dialogues that were succinct and to the point.
The mysteries themselves are also very childish, and the puzzles are designed to appeal to elementary school children.
Please bring the professor and his assistant back.

Loved Professor but this isn’t awful
I played all of the DS games and absolutely loved them. While this doesn’t match up to those standards I still love the music and art style as well as the storyline that persists throughout the numerous episodes. I honestly hope that some people give it a chance despite other comments and the cost. I’m a fan of the game and for me the hours and hours I put into it solving every single puzzle definitely made it worthwhile to me. I kinda actually liked the episode type style because it was easier to finish one and put down instead of playing the game for 8 hours straight lol. (I do hope they go back to professor and luke though and explain how everything ties together with professors family tree...)

Fun but flawed
Puzzles are mostly fun when you get to them though a couple are kind of strange (“What colour do you see every day?” and “which of these two roads will not be busy if everyone takes this road?”). In general, the value isn’t really here for the money you pay, not least because you have to pay extra for the bonus materials. First, there is way too much time between puzzles and way too much dialogue. The description says it features a “modern” protagonist but she spends the first case ignoring it completely to get some food and go shopping. All in all, it feels like a Nickelodeon version of Layton and a pale comparison to The Curious Village

More than worth it!!
If you enjoy puzzles you’re in for a treat. My favorite Professor Layton game so far!
Lost All of My Saved Progress
I’ve lost all of my saved progress.
Great Game I loved it
My Second favourite Layton game I prefer Diabolical box more.
Sub-Par Puzzles (in my opinion)
I was thrilled to have had this game come out, and I don’t regret purchasing it. But I do wish the puzzles didn’t rely so heavily on word play. Seriously, so many were tricks as opposed to puzzles — felt like >20%. I want puzzles! Word play is okay for maybe <5% of puzzles in a Layton game. Still, just my opinion — and still, would buy the game again.

BAD CAT HINTS
BAD HINTS
The “supper hint” is just another hint
So I can not finish case 4
Most people who have YouTube will just shred for it but I can not because my mom will not let me have YouTube.

No sound
Can’t seem to get the app to have any sound. Sound works in all other apps on my tablet though, just not for this game...
Excellent. Please optimize for iPhone X!
It’s a really stellar game with tons of puzzles to solve, lots of fun. The game really needs iPhone X optimization as it feels boxed in and not modernized on this device. Please also give us the option to select the original Japanese voice cast in languages! It’d be the perfect time as Japan is airing the anime version of the game as we speak.

Great puzzle game with a lovely protagonist
I enjoy this game very much, there are interesting puzzles that seem so obvious but was like a bright red needle in a white colored haystack. You can solve a puzzle but scratch your head a bit too. The story is simple but enjoyable at the same time . Hopefully the next game they will put more story time with a bigger mystery then short stories but overall worth the time to solve puzzles

iPhone X update please!
Hola veo que siguen añadiendo contenido maravilloso a este gran juego, sin embargo me encantaría que pudieran actualizar la aplicación para que cubra las barras negras que salen al usarse en iPhone X ya que se ve muy pequeño y feo, por lo que creo que no aprovecha al 💯 el espacio en pantalla.
Saludos.
Saludos.
