A game revolving solely around time-consuming, tear-inducing brain teasers likely isn’t anyone’s first guess for the kind of quick gaming the DS so clearly excels at. Layton might be an unusual choice for this week’s edition of Gaming to Go, but it’s most certainly not a bad one, as the unique hybrid of puzzling and adventuring makes a number of concessions that’ll help even someone who is pressed for time advance through the game unhindered.

Skipping freely through the game’s myriad puzzles is hardly ideal, of course, but what can you do? Some of Layton’s 135 brain-destroyers can make even a grown puzzle-solver cry, so it’s a testament to the solid game design that you can still feel the satisfaction of completing the game even without experiencing all of the content it has to offer. In the mood for a fantastic puzzle game but not so keen on spending hours just to slog through every challenge? Click that big button down there and see why Professor Layton and the Curious Village might be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
