>>115341928I was pretty disappointed with it, myself. It just didn't have the same oomph that... ANY of the other games had. I felt Diabolical Box was better than Curious Village and Unwound Future was better than Diabolical Box, so Last Specter was just... VERY disappointing.
You expect prequels to explain a lot of backstory, but the ONLY thing it explains is how Luke became Professor Layton's apprentice. There's no explanation of why Emmy doesn't show up in the later games.
For all the time they spent hiding Descole's face and name from us, I was expecting it to be some big twist, but no. He's a new character.
Layton games always ride the ragged edge between acceptable and retarded, but they were always awesome enough to compensate. Last Specter was not.
Decent puzzle collection, but very disappointing story.
