In general I think this is the best game of the trilogy. Edgeworth is fantastic, but Godot is probably my favorite prosecutor in the trilogy now. The character arc he goes through is extremely well done and he's just fun to go up against. Even the filler cases manage to be engaging, and the main story is the most emotionally resonant. The cases manage to all have tons of twists and turns with satisfying set ups and payoffs, while not getting as obtuse as the ones in the second game. There I found that the logic tied to what to present and where was often a bit arbitrary, but this entry does a much better job of making the cases as implausible as ever but still giving you enough of a clear flaw in testimonies to follow through.

I'm also very impressed by how this game managed its large ensemble cast with such cleverness and care. Almost every notable character from the first two games is brought back along with fresh new faces, and they all manage to get time to shine.
