PW: Ace Attorney 10/10
An amazing game, where I feel the overarching narrative is present from the very beginning, with each case naturally leading to the next. Even the case added later on was a blast, despite its length. Phoenix and Edgeworth make for an amazing pair, with Edgeworth’s development throughout the cases feeling natural and very interesting to follow. I love this game.
PW: Justice for All 7/10
Quite a step down from the first game, with cases that feel a lot more disconnected. This game might’ve been a 5 or a 6 if it wasn’t for that absolute banger of a final case. I think where the first game is perfect as a whole, this case was perfect as a standalone, not an easy feat. My least favourite out of the trilogy, with one of my very favourite cases at the end.
PW: Trials and Tribulations 8/10
Honestly, quite a consistent and entertaining collection of cases, with the final case of course being the cherry on top. Even so, though I really love how everything comes together in the final case, I think the new characters that got an important role in all of it, (Godot and Dahlia), just weren’t really my cup of tea. (or coffee, in this case.) Godot is kind of an ass until it all comes together in the final case, but I didn’t really feel personally invested in him. Dahlia was a tad mishandled, so even though she made for a great antagonist, the final moment feels more… contradictory than it should. It was supposed to be triumphant, but it felt almost mean-spirited in an odd sense. Edgeworth and Franziska returning on the other hand was a great time, and it was a worthy send-off for the series for sure.
So glad I played these games, and now onto the next trilogy!
