In case my silence said it, I spent a long time working through Exist Archive, but I finished it and boy I love it! It’s got a couple rushed plot points at the end and crashes more than I’d like it to but otherwise it’s a really fun game with an endearing cast, addictive gameplay, a beautiful art style and amazing music.
So I’ve now got a bunch of games since it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago, and out of those, one of them is Layton’s Mystery Journey because I finally caved after seeing it second hand in a local game shop. Since Exist Archive was incredibly big, I decided that just playing LMJ would be a good, calming, short game to have a break before I play any other big games. So far it’s... ok I guess? The music’s good as ever and the comedy is brilliant but I’m not that invested in any of the cases. I like our main cast but other characters aren’t really that fleshed out tbh. I know the last case is meant to be good and gives some background on a certain someone though, so I’m gonna keep playing because it’s also very quick, but it is just slightly dragging on a little.
