The first entry of the Ace Attorney series for me to try out, I was instantly gripped by the mixture of evidence based deduction and reasoning in the form of a visual novel. The first episode had me fully invested as it felt the stakes were high and the culprit and antagonists were unlikable it really caught my attention early on and I really liked the way that each mystery began to unfold. However, the story really starts to drag and take its time in the fourth episode where episodes became twice as long with the investigation taking as long as each trial. The final trial was good, but took way too long. The characters grew on me and the twists were good, although I almost have fatigue after this first game in the series. I should hope it is a while before I make a return, but once I do return I suspect I'll enjoy the reintroduction.
