    Forget about this absolute trainwreck of a lovechild between Professor Layton and a clogged toilet? I don't blame you.

    I never finished it, what I can say is Lautrec is more of a gentleman than Professor Layton, just look at that mustache, sadly that's all his bootlegged ass is good for as he's currently stuck in some cave endlessly trying to sneak past policemen who are down protecting a treasure for eternity for some unexplained reason.
    Not a spoiler.
    First 3 hours.
    Which is as far as you'll get with these **** ass stealth sections, so I just saved you from trying it out to see what the game is about, you're welcome.    … Expand

    A game with bad versions of pokemon fights and bad versions of puzzle solving games. There seemed to be a max of 5 different types of puzzles, pathetically easy. The characters looked interesting but the story fell down and overall it just wasn't that great.

    A puzzle-solving archaeologist who goes on adventures with a young female assistant? Now where have I heard that before.....hmm... oh, that's right! Professor Layton! You know, those actually good puzzle games that are well-paced, re-playable, and overall amazing?
    Yeah, those.

    Yeah, those.
    If you're looking for a puzzle game, get a Layton game instead. If you're looking for a burning, messy, chaotic pile of rat sh*t, you've come to the right place! Because Doctor... Lautrec is the pinnacle of disappointment. If you're in this for the low-quality Pokemon-esque battles, go get a Pokemon game.
    If you're in this for the puzzles, go get a Layton game. If you're in this for the memes, I respect your dedication. But no matter why you're playing this abomination, you're NOT going to finish it.

    If you're reading this review because you're interested in playing the game, just get it off eBay for cheap. This isn't worth full price. Spend your money on a Layton game instead. It's worth it.    … Expand

    Whilst not the superb Professor Layton competitor that people were expecting, Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is a pleasant surprise, proving to be an intriguing prospect on its own merits.

    With all of the incredibly boring slogging that goes on between puzzles, and considering that the quality of the puzzles themselves ranges from bad to mediocre, Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is impossible to recommend to even the most ravenous puzzle players. Even if this game were available for free, I wouldn't recommend spending time with it.

    Though padded somewhat by a repetitive combination of puzzles, strategy and RPG elements, Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights finally gives gamers an adventure of substance on the Nintendo 3DS.
