Nov 18, 2012Splendid 3D visuals, music, story and puzzles! The transition of two different yet relating stories was executed almost perfectly. It is obvious that a lot of thought was put into this game. Obviously if you are not a fan of Professor Layton's puzzle formula, you should not be playing this game at all. This game is a true favourite to a genuine puzzle lover, and much enjoyed by practically anyone!

Sep 28, 2014Some of the puzzles on this game were quite interesting, but however I just didn't feel it. I got bored of the game almost TOO quickly, but it was a simple puzzle game, what else was I expecting?
Bit of a disappointment to be honest. -
Oct 28, 2012Fantastic! This whole series is the best of the Nintendo DS! I recommend this game to everyone. You won't regret this purchase even if you haven't played any of the other 4 in the series before this one. The puzzles are the best in the business. Plus, as a bonus you get one puzzle download a day for the next 365 days! 150 + 365 = 515 puzzles total by October 28, 2013! A+ 10/10.

Nov 16, 2012CRUMPETS AND TEA ANYONE?!?! You play as a jolly old bloke in this game and wear a hat....you are also a professor and the art design of your face is severely lacking.

Dec 7, 2012This game is very good. The storyline, as always, never fails to impress, although shorter than the others. The puzzles are sometimes quite challenging, the game play is also different in some parts, like an RPG style. Another thing that gives the 9.3 rating is the daily puzzles for a year. That is about it, only minor things make it lose the 7%

Jan 31, 2014another great layton game. the new 3d graphics are great and story is still full of awesome twists and characters. theres a part of the game where the gameplay changes to a dungeon crawler for a little bit and that was a nice way of changing up the gameplay for a little bit. my only problem with this game is that the puzzles can get WAY too hard at times

Feb 18, 2013I like this Professor Layton sequel very much! There are around 150 puzzles to solve in the game itself, but with the download-option, you can also download more puzzles! Other than the other Professor Layton series, the graphics are 3D and 2D.

Mar 8, 2013Probably the best layton game so far. The puzzles are fun as always but the real thing here is the plot: the story is so mesmerizing and emotional, you won't want to put it down. Plus the 365 daily puzzles and the mini games. you are really in for a treat, trust me.

Jul 13, 2013I stay play Miracle Mask daily as I am downloading and completing the daily puzzle. Great story as usual, great visuals and music, enjoyable puzzles. Strange to see Layton semi-3D for the first time but he looked great! Can't wait for the next.

Apr 12, 2015I love this game. The story especially is just brilliant. So brilliant that I nearly cried. Twice.
The puzzles, however, are slightly easier this time around, which somewhat takes away from the feel of the game, but it's still a masterpiece nonetheless. -
Feb 3, 2017Make this one a purchase if you're into Layton or just a big 3DS collector. You won't even regret purchasing this whatsoever even if this wasn't from Nintendo.

Jun 23, 2016ON THE PLUS SIDE, this one comes with enjoyable music, mind-boggling puzzles, and a whole new town to explore. ON THE DOWN SIDE, the story, the characters, and the mystery itself aren't particularly impressive. ALL IN ALL, I had a lovely time with this game and I see myself trying out all the other Layton games.

Jul 18, 2017Un juego de excelente calidad, como todos los de la saga layton. No obstante, creo que la calidad es un poco mas baja respecto a los de nintendo DS. Sin duda el juego es impecable y con unos puzzles magnificos.

Nov 22, 2020Great game. The artstyle is still good. After an while the puzzles feel a bit to familair. Still they are great.

Jan 10, 2014Whilst not performing any great new feats, The Miracle Mask is a solid first 3DS addition to the Layton franchise.

Hyper MagazineDec 17, 2012A sweet, good-natured puzzler that continues the series' traditions with some great new elements, too. [Jan 2013, p.69]

Dec 16, 2012The Layton series' formulaic approach to gameplay is a double-edged sword – it's still engaging and fun, but at the same time, the premise has begun to show some weathering. Still, the mix of point-and-click adventure and logic puzzles is something that few other games can offer, and Miracle Mask still does it well. For anyone who is deeply invested in the Layton series and jumps at any chance to experience a new Layton game, Miracle Mask is not a game to be missed.
