Phil writes, “The Professor Layton series is known for having charming, zany, and kooky characters, mysteries that feature equally zany and kooky solutions, and a whole healthy heaping of brain teasers in the form of puzzles for players to solve. Every game in the Professor Layton series has featured Hershel Layton as the main star, but can the series stand on its own two feet with a brand-new protagonist? That’s what Layton’s daughter Katrielle hopes, and that’s on top of the hope of her newly opened detective agency getting off the ground. Fortunately, Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaries’ Conspiracy – Deluxe Edition shows that, like her father, no puzzle is a match for a Layton, and while the game doesn’t hit the same highs as the majority of games featuring her father, Kat is no slouch when it comes to starring in a series of mysteries that are engaging to play and to mull over their sophisticated and fun puzzles.”
