The Professor Layton games appeal to a wide age range with some fans of the series being in their 50s and 60s (although the biggest age group are players in their mid to late teens and early twenties)
Whether you would enjoy these games largely depends on whether you'd enjoy solving the types of puzzles the game offers
While most of the puzzles are logic puzzles, they also include sliding block puzzles, matchstick puzzles, river crossing puzzles, chess puzzles, etc
You may find it useful to look over the popular illustrated walkthroughs so you can see for yourself the types of puzzles the games use along with the graphics and general style of play (which largely involves going around talking to other characters and finding optional hidden hint coins)

With recurring characters, a sub-plot running through a trilogy and a significant spoiler in the second game, it's best to start with the Curious Village (which is also the cheaper entry point)
