Beat a game with a female lead Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaire's Conspiracy Well, technically I'm not done playing it since there are still the future daily puzzles to solve, but I've finished the main story/minigames, the postgame bonus puzzle rooms, and all the dailies released so far, so that ought to count as beaten for this. 14/50 (I'm getting pretty behind on this, orz) how was this btw @Applekidrose Pretty good! It fits right in with the other Layton games in a lot of ways (gameplay structure, characters, art/music style, etc.), so if you like those you'll probably like LMJ too. Some more specific thoughts: - The mobile version is definitely worth getting if you have a tablet; it plays pretty much the same as a 3DS game right down to the screen split, and $16 for a fully-featured ~20 hour game (plus daily puzzles) is a nice deal. (I haven't tried playing it on a phone, but I think the screen wouldn't be big enough for it to work well in that case.) - The focus on individual cases instead of a larger plot is kind of a mixed bag. The cases themselves wrap up nicely enough (they're fairly short, but don't feel as abrupt as the travel segments from Azran Legacy at least), but it kinda feels like they spend a lot of time introducing and starting to develop the cast only to not really do anything with them. On the bright side, there isn't a dumb "let's explain the supernatural-seeming plot in a way that's way more complicated and harder to believe than the supernatural explanation" twist at the end this time! And there are a couple of obvious sequel hooks, so hopefully there'll be more games with Kat and co. in the future that can build on some of that development. - The puzzles are a bit on the easier side overall, but that's probably not a bad thing for the first entry into a series reboot. One complaint I do have is that they go a bit overboard on the "trick question"-type puzzles--I'd be willing to bet that at least half of the times where you have to enter a number, the answer's going to be 0 or 1, lol.
