Spawn Kill Review: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Is The Unwound Future my favorite Layton game yet? I’m not sure, but if you had told me a few weeks ago that the ending of the professor’s latest adventure would have me reaching for my handkerchief, I would have laughed you out of the room. Unwound Future doesn’t always fully succeed in its lofty story goals, but it definitely attempts far more than its predecessors, which is admirable in itself. Add the improvements to the puzzle interface, and Unwound Future is one of Layton and Luke’s best adventures yet.

The surplus of cut scenes is something any Layton fan will be grateful for. <3

I mean, the story is nice and all, but I'd be just as happy if it just one giant compendium of puzzles and an index. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

another game that makes me feel stupid....

[K-Tuck]

Are there any that make you actually feel smart?

[Xof]

Any game where every single character is dumber than a brick, really.

I've just started this game, and I was a big fan of the previous ones. I can't wait to sit down and really enjoy it.

I still have yet to dip my toes into the Layton waters. Yet another game series for my Pile of Shame. :/

Can we find a way to add more hours to the day, please?

[TheLiztress]

If you find a way to, let me know. I've been wanting to play this series since the first one came out but there has just been too many games and not enough time in the day.

DO WANT!
