I beat Unwound Future last night, and while the ending was sad, I saw it coming. I am confused about the ending though, it hints at a sequal but aren't all the games prequels now?

Anyway, being my first Layton games my impressions are: It's charming, and real fun to play. A lot of the puzzles are intuitive and are integrated into the action. While there are a lot of annoying math puzzles I appreciate the Memo feature. The story goes way out there towards the end, but it remains a fun ride and I can suspend my disbelieve. My only problem is the story portion is pretty short, it only took me 12 hours. But it served a purpose, it gave me a fun distraction from the crap I'm dealing with in my personal life and that's all I can ask for.
