    This is easily the worst Layton game but with a series as good as this that just means that its worst title is a decent one. The plot starts with tons of promise but takes a back seat in the middle of the game for series of smaller problems for layton and the gang to solve. this was easily the best part for me, they had nothing to do with the main plot and were just fun little lightheartedThis is easily the worst Layton game but with a series as good as this that just means that its worst title is a decent one. The plot starts with tons of promise but takes a back seat in the middle of the game for series of smaller problems for layton and the gang to solve. this was easily the best part for me, they had nothing to do with the main plot and were just fun little lighthearted adventures but when thats done the main plot ends up rearing its ugly head and you get one stupid twist after another and if it wasnt for a neat callback to the original game, i would've hated the entire ending. puzzles are still in abundance and They are about just as good as they are in any other layton game.… Expand

    Sadly, it doesnt reach the levels of the older games (especially The last Specter). This is because of its repetitive gameplay, the many areas and (in my opinion) boring minigames. The puzzles were mostly remastered versions of old ones or at least resembled them, so they dont improve it either. The plot was also pretty obvious if you played the other games.

    A worthy finale to Professor Layton's adventures, whether you've played the previous games or not.

    Plenty of puzzles, just not quite as puzzling.

    Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is a puzzle game that doesn’t just exist to solve cryptic riddles but also to provide pure entertainment and enjoyment.
