Murder mystery puzzler Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box has received glowing reviews from a gaming expert.
Matt Wales, writing for IGN UK, gave the Nintendo DS game an ‘impressive’ rating and an overall score of 84 per cent.
The title is a follow up to the popular Curious Village which was released last year on the handheld console.
Pandora’s Box sees Professor Layton and his junior companion return to solve a number of testing puzzles and riddles. Gamers will have to solve the brainteasers to gain clues to the kidnappings, family secrets and conspiracies which are going on in the background.
Users are welcomed into a point a click world, where they can explore the surroundings with a simple tap on the screen.
Mr Wales said that the title packs “so much charm into its diminutive frame that gamers would be wise to give it a try”.
He added: “It is a richer sprightlier experience than before, despite doing little to tinker with an already winning formula.”
The previous version of Professor Layton was so popular that some gamers faced a two month wait to get their hands on a copy.
