truly one of the greatest visual novels ever released if not the best. it has a memorable, lively, unique and lovable cast of characters (though miles edgeworth is obviously the one who shines the most), which is not something we usually encounter in a visual novel. the cases gradually got better and better and the last case was a literal masterpiece. the fourth case was my favorite though since the character development in this is just so heartwarming. the dialogue in this game never ever bored me, i did not skip ONE dialogue in this game and this is the first time this happened to me in a visual novel. everything is just so well written, the story is always exciting and makes you curious about what will happen in the next testimony and you also always wonder how the things will turn out while investigating. the soundtrack and the character sprites are also very well done and both of these play a big role in this game's charm.
to summarize all of the written above, phoenix wright: ace attorney has the most fun you can have in a visual novel and is overall a phenomenal video game.
