Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy is a solid first step in crafting a new generation of adventures for the franchise, but future installments had best concentrate more on crafting a better bunch of puzzles to be strung together, as well as a deeper narrative, in order to match the glory of the earlier games.
Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "While we here at Link Cable Gaming are holding hope that these claims aren’t to be true, we thought that now would be the perfect time to look over the company’s work and take a moment to see which ten Level-5 games best celebrate the company as a whole."
Phil writes, "Welcome to a very special edition of Most Overlooked! No, I don't mean "very special" like one of those "very special" episodes of Full House or Saved by the Bell. I mean "very special" as in we've reached our tenth installment of the Most Overlooked Current Gen Games!
SPC has always been passionate about sharing those gaming gems that aren't your traditional million-selling, triple-A mega hits. Instead, the Most Overlooked series by its very nature looks at those games that don't get extravagant marketing campaigns, don't stay on the sales charts for prolonged periods of time, and don't get as much hype dedicated to them. Perhaps with this series of articles you'll discover a new game that piques your interest and preference.
This tenth edition features games from a wide range of different genres; We have a dungeon crawler, a fighting game, a JRPG, a platformer, and a point-and-click puzzler."
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."
