For a fairly easy Professor Layton this isn't too bad. Only buy it on sale (spoiler below) ending on that freaking cliffhanger though
Interesting final, waiting for the second vol :)
Rather relaxing, you run around a magic school and solve puzzles. Game is rather short (only 1st year), so I suggest going on all side quests right away and collecting achievements (I didn't and now I regret, coz chances for me to get back to the game after I've finished are slim to none).
The side-quests are important for collecting items for the end of the story. It feels like there's a lot of things to do. Some of the puzzles are hard, but occasionally guessing will give you the right answer. Plus, you can go back to solve the bonus puzzles, if you don't get them the first time around. The only thing I didn't like was the second-person POV. I found it extremely weird, a bit distracting, and honestly, he just keeps getting the way. Sometimes the graphics when he moved made me feel motion sick? Overall, solid 8/10. Good game. Highly enjoyable. I think I will be playing this for a second time!
What happen if you mix Professor Layton and Harry Potter. I recommend this game for the riddle and the general atmosphere but some translation are really bad and there are a few mistakes in the riddles (notably in the propositions).
Too boring, tried to find enjoyment of this game but meh
Amazing video game! I wish school was like this!

I just wanna know why there hasn't been any updates in 3 years? It came out and then had like 2 updates and then nothing. It is a decent game but has a lot of potential to be so much more and not sure why this game was just ditched.
honestly can't recommend this enough, especially for the price.
