On what grounds? Unless the new game flat out copies puzzles and characters and whathaveyou from Professor Layton, then nothing has been done wrong.

"Blood" looks and plays like "Doom", and has a similar name. "Gothic" looks and plays like "Morrowind". So on and so forth.

I'm just saying that there's no need to get in a twist about this, as it's most likely perfectly legal and happens all of the time.

KICK ASS. layton ruled. I hope this game doesn't suck like all EA games. that would be cool.

Henry Hatsworth is a puzzle-platformer, apparently with time manipulation elements. Its far closer to ripping off Braid than Prof. Layton. What an ill informed, crappy article. How about looking into your subject matter before you start ranting.

How Was I Supposed to Know THAT? ~ Obtuse Things in Games - Volume Four

Phil writes, "Today is National Puzzle Day, and it's a day for celebration of all things that twist, melt, bust, or otherwise perplex your brain puzzle-wise. It seems like a fantastic day to bring back an old favorite article series that hasn't seen much action recently. It's "How Was I Supposed to Know THAT!?", where we take a look at those frustratingly obtuse parts of games, whether for progression purposes or just plain ol' devious puzzles that one would have to be an absolute genius of a specialized field to solve. These following five games each have a particularly perplexing part or puzzle in them that possess some kind of masterful amount of outside information or knowledge to get past or solve them."

Never been a fan of the kind of game design where you need a guide to be able to do it, some might say it's quirky but I think it's dumb.

That's why The Witness is so good, the puzzles are often confusing and very difficult but there's always a logical solution if you think about it enough.

It's actually easier for FF IX now, contrary to what the article says. The speed increase makes the game plays at x3 the speed, but it doesn't actually make the timer go faster, so it makes getting there in 12 hours a lot easier.

sure sure, but it was neeear impossible to actually get the EC2 in-time on the ps1. especially if you had the European version.

If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.

It would be nice to see both Bravely titles on the Switch.
