The gameplay is much better compared to other ace attorneys but it does not save it, The overall plot shit is cursed. I1-4 and Yatagarsu parts of the plot is great.
I1-1 is kinda okay on the first time because you have the feeling of playing a new game but then it gets boring pretty quick, I1-2 was boring asf, I1-3 is fucked and I1-5 is super mixed, I loved the final yew encounter but the alba encounter literally pissed me off it took me 3 hours.

I use this game to determine if a game is mid or not, It's the definition of mid to me. Too bad it's a game you have to play to get to one of my favorite games.
