Professor Layton and the Curious Village recently made its way to iOS and Android with a polished HD port, making the iconic debut of the Layton series more accessible than ever. Surprisingly, it seems to have flown under the radar for many players, so I figured it was the perfect time to revisit this charming classic.
While Professor Layton is one of the most recognizable names in gaming, for those unfamiliar: The Curious Village marks the beginning of Level-5’s beloved puzzle-adventure franchise. Originally released on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, the game now has well over a decade of legacy behind it.
