Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy is a puzzle game developed by Level-5 for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the sixth entry in the Professor Layton series, making up the third and final part of the prequel trilogy of games and, according to Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino, it was intended to be the last Layton title to star Professor Layton himself as the protagonist. However, with the announcement of Professor Layton and The New World of Steam in 2023, this is no longer the case. The game saw a release in early to late 2013 in all territories except North America, where it was released on February 28 of the following year.

Where Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 80ahead of 36% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 19ahead of 66% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
