    This game is a pretty good Layton game! Its story may be a bit weaker than some of its predecessor's, and we have to agree that some of the cases' resolutions make little sense and are not that great, but the game has some great puzzles and going through the cases is very fun! I have to say, though, that as you progress in the game it gets better and better. Also, its graphics, for a 3DS,This game is a pretty good Layton game!

I have to say, though, that as you progress in the game it gets better and better. Also, its graphics, for a 3DS, are very good, although of course this game isn't focused on graphics. While we all miss Luke and Professor Layton, the 3 new main characters (Layton's daughter, her assistant Ernest, and the dog) are awesome, they are very charismatic and fun to play with. We have to highlight as well that there are 195 puzzles (185 + 10 special ones), that is I think the highest number ever in a Layton game! Coupled with the daily puzzles you can download, there are a lot of misteries to solve!

    All in all, a pretty good game, if you like the saga this is a must-have, and if you haven't played any other Layton games yet, this one doesn't disappoint as a start!    … Expand

    This is not by any means a bad game, if people insist in comparing this game to its predecessors they will just miss the true essence of this game. Sure, the small cases may be the weakpoint of this game but the main characters (and some side charcaters) will charm the game like no Layton game before.

Sure, the small cases may be the weakpoint of this game but the main characters (and some side charcaters) will charm the game like no Layton game before. The puzzles continue to deliver and it has several enhancements for puzzle location, hint coin location, customizable outfits, rooms, references for past games, etc. Now for the story itself, I agree it's not the best but it certainly isn't the worst, I place it just under UF and DB. In conclusion, this one is a really great addition to the series and it's just as worthy as any other Layton game.… Expand

    Con Katrielle me ha pasado algo que nunca me había pasado con ningún otro juego, he ido quejándome de sus casos aparentemente inconexos y simples hasta su último caso, el cual ha venido a darle sentido a todo lo que había pasado hasta ese momento.

He sido lo más paciente que he podido a la espera de ver si me encontraba algo a la altura de los Layton y vaya que si me lo he encontrado en sus últimas horas. Quizá sea ese el problema, que parte de una saga llena de historias que te atrapan desde el inicio, historias fantásticas que saben intrigar desde el principio. Aquí tenemos algo más de calle y una historia de fondo que se va construyendo poco a poco hasta que pega ese plot twist al final, de toda la saga de Layton esta es la entrega menos fantástica y más sensata de todas. Por lo demás tenemos un apartado gráfico y artístico soberbio, una banda sonora muy acertada, unos extras marca de la casa muy interesantes y una muy buena rejugabilidad. Con unos puzles que me han sorprendido y que nunca caen en la repetición ni te dan una sensación de monotonía como pasaba en anteriores títulos. Si logras aguantar hasta el final vas a entenderlo todo, pero ese es su problema que tal y como está contado a veces puede hacerse algo cuesta arriba aguantar los 10 primeros casos.… Expand

    Another portion of puzzles and riddles for those who want to meditate a bit about games. Maybe with a little worse repertoire and characters, but still funny enough and colorful. [Issue#279]

    Although I hope her next adventure stands on its own a little more, Katrielle has proven herself worthy of the Layton name, and then some. [Issue #31 – January/February 2018, p. 27E]

    Layton's Mystery Journey is a mediocre game at best, with uneventful mysteries and anticlimactic plot twists. As a returning veteran, it almost doesn't feel like a Layton game at all.
