Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy - Deluxe Edition (Switch)

Since the early days of the DS, the Professor Layton series has defined perplexing on Nintendo handhelds. Since 2007, we've had two trilogies and two spinoffs featuring the eponymous professor, but dwindling sales and a general sense of staleness seem to have frightened Level-5 away from greenlighting another trilogy in the same spirit. So, in 2017, the company went for a soft relaunch with Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy, which introduced a new protagonist and made some minor modifications to the formula to liven things up.

Unlike the mainline entries in the series, Layton's Mystery Journey follows the adventures of the esteemed professor's daughter Katrielle, a confident and inimitable young woman determined to step out of her father's shadow and establish her own reputation as a respected puzzle-solver and private detective. Kat's plot isn't as concerned with huge, world-ending dangers or time-traveling pranks as series fans have come to expect. Rather, the adventure takes on a smaller, neighborhood-sized scale as she embarks on a series of mainly unrelated cases presented in an episodic monster of the week style.
