Board 8 > Best main series Professor Layton game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm working on the series, just beat the first, starting the second. Curious about the consensus.

I'm at the same point you are myself, and I've always heard Unwound Future is the best.

There aren't any that I think are significantly better or worse than the others, but I'd narrowly say Unwound Future thanks to having the most amusing plot and being in a pretty good place in the series puzzle-wise (late enough to have more polish than the earlier titles, early enough to not have run out of ideas)

Layton vs Wright might actually be my favorite Layton game if that counts, though its puzzles are really easy by comparison with exactly two exceptions

Miracle Mask is really close though, it's my second favorite, especially because its downloadable puzzles are really really good
