While these lackluster mini-games are no hidden-object puzzle or "make your own tea" chemistry set (as seen in Laytons 1 and 2), Unwound Future still has a solid set of puzzles for its main adventure, and the story itself is very engaging.
One of the greatest games I have ever played.
I played the original games 1 and 2 years ago as child and loved them. For my 19th birthday my brother gave me lost future and I had no idea how amazing it was going to be. The story in this game is near perfect with a perfect cast of characters, with some emotional moments. The music I have saved on everything I own, Tomohito Nishiura is brilliant. Of course they made all puzzles interesting and tied the puzzels perfectly into gameplay. I can not talk more love for this game, if you have a ds or a phone download this game as soon as you can, also check the first two games in the series.
This was peak Professor Layton. I can recommend this game to literally anyone who doesn't mind a lot of dialogue. The characters are REALLY good though, so this is more than just a bland visual novel. Features like moving around, inspecting all areas with your stylus and puzzles make this a very immersive experience.
More than just being a family friendly puzzle game, there is something of considerable substance and style here for any gamer. In fact the quality of the story telling and difficulty of some puzzles felt more like playing Uncharted than something on a Nintendo console.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future offers the same great experience from the last two games. If you're in need of something different and want to exercise the brain, this is the correct answer.
The third 8 out of 10 in a row for the Professor Layton series. There's not much news here, but it's an extremely well-made adventures with great movies and a very charming style that is easy to fall for again and again. Problem solution is clever and the characters memorable. A must for puzzle fans who didn't get tired of the predecessors.
As a standalone adventure, The Lost Future can't help but disappoint once its bite-sized, unimaginative nature begins to show through. [Issue#102, p.120]
La historia es sida de los grandes, pero los personajes son muy interesantes, es el único juego donde a Layton, se le da un poco de desarrollo argumental (Menos mal) y los puzles, son de los mejores de toda la saga. Creo que es sin dudas, junto al caja de pandora, de los mejores Profesores Layton que hay
Play If: You enjoyed previous Professor Layton games. If you were the kind of kid who insisted on grabbing a puzzle book for a long car ride.
Don't Play If: You are the kind of person who gets easily frustrated with puzzles and quickly jump online to find the answer. Or, have an issue with unbelievable and problematic stories.
Sorry to say, but I just didn't feel this as much as I felt the others in the series. The location got pretty old quick, puzzles could be guess and checked which is exactly what you don't want to happen. The story was also pretty farfetched. Now I know, all of the stories are farfetched, but this one was so out of it. I could count several plot holes that arose from the last few twists, and this seriously ruined the experience that Layton is known for. I will give credit, however, for that emotional ending, and for some puzzles that did keep me engaged. It was just the weakest of the series, that's all, and that's still saying a lot, since this entire series is fantastic. Disappointing, on a medium scale.
veru good puzzles, suspensful story and an ending that i never expected. Loved these games as a kid and still love them to this day. Professor layton is really a one of a kind game that will never be made again, will definitely be remembered in the future
SummaryProfessor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, receive a confounding letter - from Luke 10 years in the future. But the message inside is even more troubling: London of the future is in disarray, and the only person
who can help set things right is Professor Layton.
