    I was not expecting a whole lot from this game and I never played the prior Layton games but I really liked playing this game. At first glance it does not seem like a lot as the storyline is pretty basic/generic but the last level/storyline was fun and you do get a sense of enjoyment. Graphics are pretty good and the dialogue all throughout is underrated. Lone gripe may be it is tooI was not expecting a whole lot from this game and I never played the prior Layton games but I really liked playing this game.

    This was my first game on switch and my third Layton game. It isn't the best that I have played, but I still had a fabulous time. Realistically I'd give it an 8.5, but I suppose a 9 will do

    Loved it! Love the art, animations and LOVE the music. Took off one point cause some of the puzzles are annoying

    The beginning of the game is kind of boring with the mysteries being quite dull and predictable BUT the last one threw me off so bad. The plot twist with the combined story line really redeemed the overall game. Thought the story they silently stacked all the pieces of the mystery together without the player even knowing and the final reveal was just perfect

    Overall, this game is great, and pretty underrated! The developers did a great job of transferring the game to switch. The graphics look cute, and the puzzles still work great on the switch's one screen. The DLC outfits they've included for free with this game are also a nice touch, especially if you're a fan of the previous games, because many of the outfits are nods to past games.

This isn't the best entry in the Layton series, but it does its job well. It's a more lighthearted game than the previous ones in the series, for sure, but there's something charming in its own right about the episodic format of the game, solving individual cases rather than having an overarching mystery. Katrielle, Ernest, and Sherl have a very fun dynamic, and it makes solving the mysteries that much more engaging. The puzzles are still very fun, albeit a bit easier than the ones in previous entires. The music in this game also helps create and maintain the atmosphere of the game really well. I do wish they'd have dived into the missing Hershel Layton storyline a bit more, but overall I had a great time with the game. I hope there's a sequel because this cast has a lot of potential.… Expand

    I would have liked to see a better payoff to the story's setup at the end of the game. [Issue #45 – March/April 2020, p. 69]

    My only real gripes with the game come from the occasionally too long dialogue sequences (it seems that every character has to quip or comment about Katrielle's current course of action) and the frustrating lack of resolution at the end of the game. Although the game obviously sets up a sequel, neither of the two core mysteries introduced at the outset of the game are solved at all. If you're looking for some charming brain teasers and puzzles to distract you from the current goings-on, give Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy a try.

    Great for newcomers, perhaps a little easy for experienced puzzle solvers but still a pleasant puzzle game with its typical humour and an episodic approach to storytelling. [Issue#300]
