Very high praise from me. Possibly the best Ace Attorney game in the whole series. I hate to spoil it for you, so I won't say much. You may not get as great puzzles and gameplay as like, Ghost Trick, JFA, or T&T. But they're still there and it's still really fun. I'm saying I didn't struggle much with this game, but I did struggle a few times, and it was fun during all of it.
Story is amazing too. Don't wanna say much. If you're not into period pieces, then I guess avoid it. But I think the story could win anyone over.
Localization is great. I regret not playing this sooner, but also I think I played this at just the right time in my life. I was waiting on the Scarlet Study mod that swapped the character names. But I decided to just... accept that the names won't be the same transliterated ones in Scarlet Study. Is the official localization better than Scarlet Study's? I wouldn't judge it like that. They both have merits. Official has such an amazing period appropriate lexicon (it's good to open wikitionary and write any words you don't understand). Scarlet Study is a bit simpler and easier for an ESL to read. Both convey meaning and emotions efficiently. Regardless, I'm recommending the Steam version here, and since the Scarlet Study script isn't available for the steam release as of now, I recommend this official version for you.
You'll also want the Admiral Curtiss mod to unlock framerate. A few animations are stuck at a lower framerate, but it's easy to accept that I feel. I just couldn't play the game at 30 FPS. It gave me a headache.
