Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Professor Layton and his young apprentice Luke are up to yet another one of their mystery solving hijinks in Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. As the title suggests, the story deals with time travel and features over a 150 riddles and brain teasers to solve. But is this time-traveling mystery worth racking your brain over? The game starts out with Layton and Luke receiving an ominous letter that foretells chaos in London 10 years from now, and is written by Luke himself from the future, and then flashes back to a public time-traveling device demonstration that goes horribly wrong. Being the curious duo of mystery solvers, they set out to find the origins of the letter. As usual, not everything is as it seems and players will be tasked to solve 10 mysteries while solving a myriad amount of puzzles to progress. The established Professor Layton formula, for the most part, stays the same. You investigate screens by tapping on people and objects that usually spark up a conversation leading up to a clue. You’re then tasked to solve a puzzle to obtain the next part of the clue and move on. It’s a formula that continues to move the game at a steady pace, ensuring your interest is constantly peaked.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

With Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (or Lost Future in Europe) being the third in a series of so-far really, really good Nintendo DS puzzle-adventures, I was strongly hoping for further greatness as Level-5 continues to refine its winning formula. And indeed, the charming aesthetic remains intact, and there are even more new puzzles (over 165) to solve, plus some minor (purely mechanical) improvements here and there. Unfortunately, the game seems to suffer from subtraction by addition this time around, removing at least a little of its predecessors' pure, sweet puzzly goodness in the process. See, Professor Layton games are a bit like drinking a nice, warm cup of tea. They're comfort games. No matter how life-threatening situations get in the game, the protagonists--Layton himself and his assistant Luke--seem so relaxed about it all, so pleasantly contemplative, it's hard not to take a cue from them when playing. So when a sequel means bringing in more outrageous plot details and more characters, I can't help thinking: what's the rush? Jam-packing the adventure just doesn't feel very... y'know, "Laytonesque"; quantity over quality doesn't seem so "gentlemanly".

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Review

With each succesive game, Professor Layton's adventures continue to grow more bizarre. And nothing illustrates that better than his latest outing, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future. This time traveling tale takes you on a tour of a future London, filled with new perils, villains, and naturally, puzzles. But while I found the sometimes ridiculous story my least favorite part of the game, like the professor, I just can't resist trying my hand at just one more riddle. Unwound Future introduces a fair number of improvements that I've been wanting since the first game, The Curious Village. The "memo" section on puzzles (an overlay that lets you draw on the screen) finally includes different colors and pen thicknesses to write in, and you can even erase sections of your writing when you make a mistake (instead of having to scrap all your work, like in The Diabolical Box). While this finally elminates the need to pack around a notepad with you for the game's more calculation-intense quandries, it would still be nice to be able to overlay your notes on the actual puzzle -- as it's set up, as soon as you go back to the problem, you can't see your notes at all.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Review

The Professor Layton games occupy a brilliant little niche in the puzzle game genre, delivering mind-churning challenge with whimsy, humor, and heart. The titular gentleman and his eager apprentice have returned once more to answer a call for assistance, following a path that leads onward through the mysteries of time. Built around a slew of great puzzles and moved along by intrigue and intellect, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future is gratifying on many levels. Anyone who enjoys pitting their wits against brainteasers could enjoy this game, but something better occurs here than unraveling mazes and counting blocks. This is a delightful adventure that enchants the mind and blends its challenges, narrative, and world in a near-seamless weave. The cry for help this time around is itself the source of a puzzle--the message comes from Layton's young companion Luke, from what appears to be 10 years in the future. Things have gone awry, and apparently only the present team of master and protege can set things right. Through a giant device in an old clock shop, the pair enters a gritty future version of London that's being held in the firm grip of a mafioso, portrayed as a shadowy figure in a dashing top hat.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

The Professor Layton series has charmed a legion of DS owners with its colorful visual style, interesting narratives, and challenging puzzles. The latest installment sees the plucky professor and his sidekick traveling through time, and it offers more of what series fans have come to love. In the third installment of the Professor Layton franchise, The Unwound Future, we find the professor on his home turf of London, England tangled up in a new case. After receiving a mysterious note from someone who claims to be his apprentice, Luke, from 10 years in the future Layton and young Luke get pulled into a bizarre tale of an evil genius, a time machine, and a London of the future that is on the brink of destruction. The dynamic duo travel forward in time to save London and discover what has gone horrible awry. Along the way, they meet an entertaining mix of characters, from the thugs running the city to an older Luke of the future. Dealing with time travel and the inevitable paradox it creates does require more discussion than the simpler story-lines found in previous Layton titles but Unwound Future manages to make it work.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

When Professor Layton and the Curious Village came out in the U.S. a couple of years ago, it was a fresh concept. The French cafe soundtrack, the distinct animation and art style, and Layton and Luke's insatiable desire to solve mysteries made it stand out from your ordinary puzzler. The second game was on a similar bar puzzle-wise, but it had a strange vampire plot and ending with a series of wacky explanations.This time around, the duo may or may not travel to a future version of London, so it's not like things are suddenly grounded in reality. However, the cast really sells it. I won't spoil any new or returning characters, but it's easy to see why the charming professor gathers a crowd of amateur puzzle enthusiasts on his trek, making the player feel like a team member as well. The biggest departure from previous Layton tales is that it actually ties into the professor's past â?? we learn that he's not just a stoic, manners-obsessed robot. It's also worth mentioning that this is the last entry in a distinct trilogy, so fans have to check out the surprisingly epic finale (the next Layton trilogy is actually a prequel). From a puzzle-solving standpoint, don't expect too many changes from previous titles.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Professor Layton would not relish the real world. He would think it to be as unsavory as drinking a flat, over-diluted pot of tea in a Styrofoam cup. No agency of the law would permit him to interfere with their investigations. No doors in an underground military base would be locked with sliding block puzzles. No citizen of sound mind would conjure up a brainteaser, wait for the Professor for an unspecified amount of time - if not for an eternity - and then be as uncouth as to interrupt his life with said brainteaser for a bunch of picarats. Professor Layton would just be a well-mannered university researcher whose voracious obsession for mathematical conundrums would eventually put him in an asylum for the "gifted". So it is his luck that Professor Layton and the Unwound Future remains in the familiar universe of pleasant, pastel, palatable England. Even luckier, his newest adventure has him jaunting about the cobblestoned roads of London, or at least what seems to be London. The Professor and his boy apprentice Luke have received a letter by a person who identifies himself as Luke himself writing 10 years in the future, a letter that coincidentally has arrived around the same time as the duo's attendance at a time machine experiment that goes terribly wrong.

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Review

Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, have already investigated multiple mysteries on the Nintendo DS. Previous iterations in the puzzle franchise, the Curious Village and Diabolical Box, have quickly become fan favorites due to their high production value, fantastical storylines and of course, challenging puzzles. The latest adventure for the good professor, subtitled the Unwound Future, keeps that tradition intact. As the title suggests, the plot for the professor now revolves around time travel. Layton and Luke attend a time machine demonstration that goes awry – there's a massive explosion, and the Prime Minister and scientist in charge of the project vanish in the shroud of the blast. Shortly after the incident, Layton receives a letter claiming to be sent by the future version of Luke. Things only get weirder from there, and the tale unwinds over 12 chapters (plus an epilogue) where you'll discover the truth behind 10 mysteries. Unlike previous games, this tale shows you an important part of Layton's past and harbors a great theme about the importance of balancing emotion, logic and pride. If you've never played a Professor Layton title before, you shouldn't worry as the story doesn't rely on your knowledge of past games. The production of the Unwound Future is really impressive.
