This is my favorite game of all time, I played it 3 years ago.
I don't think this is the most philosophical game ever and maybe that's what holds it back from being the best ace attorney for most people but, I think the things that Ace Attorney do well peak here and I genuinely think this is game was made as a love letter to everything that came before especially the trilogy, I also feel like this is one of the only times I've seen fanservice done tastefully and exceedingly well at the same time. Everything is wrapped so neatly and nicely. It genuinely accomplishes what was so special about the original trilogy in a single game. Almost every returning character from the previous games has some of if not their best moments in this game even a few ones that I was lukewarm on. and even all the new characters are genuinely really great and add a lot (even the case-specific characters).
Case 1 is pretty good and Case 2 is okay its honestly pretty dragged out but, but As soon as Case 3 starts the game starts to quickly climb to its peak and it doesn't let go till AFTER the credits roll. I can't seriously think of another piece of fiction that was climbing such a high for most of its runtime and I think because Investigations 2 made me feel that way its stayed glued to the throne and it's stuck with me ever since the day I finished it.
