Knowing Apollo and Trucy don’t have any more cases together is tragic, I really enjoyed them throughout the game. Gavin what’s his name also a great prosecutor.

General case thoughts
Case 1 is extremely masterclass
Case 2 is one of the worst in the series for me, did not enjoy that at all outside of Apollo and oomfie.
Case 3 does some really cool things, love the music element but man is it repetitive, good overall
Case 4s great but pretty underwhelming for a final case, not really much mystery for the actual present case. You get your answers pretty quickly and the rest is just giving context for case 1. Good ending at least

Used to hate this game but I played it again and really enjoyed it to the point of platinuming it. The gameplay loop is fun and the Ancient Greek world is crafted so well that I wanted to see everything. If only it was accompanied by good writing, the story is abysmal and dialogue options make the protagonist bipolar because yes you can say “I will kill this guy who ruined my life” but the game will go “sheesh Kassandra you really killed that guy that we said killed thousands?” And push you towards what the narrative actually wants. Just before the final chapter you fight the main villain. Here’s what happens
If you win:
He gets crushed by a tree
You get crushed by a tree
If you lose:
He gets crushed by a tree
You get crushed by a tree
The game really really wants you to spare this guy and live happily ever after but he kinda killed thousands in addition to everyone the protagonist liked so that’s a little jarring. Tldr gameplay and world good, writing abysmal.

Remake was kinda lame but this game is just incredible from start to finish

It’s not Left 4 Dead but it’s fun

This review contains spoilers

It took me 2 years to finally get around to this and I did really enjoy it. I was pretty satisfied with all the answers we got and entertained throughout butttttttttt some things can’t be forgiven. Chapter 7: Minagoroshi has an incredible tragic but beautiful ending where despite the battle being lost Rika realises how much she can rely on her friends and watches her killer mutilate her to remember her face. Crazy good stuff but then when we finally get to Rika in this chapter….she simply forgot the entire chapter happened??? It’s not even like this is even relevant to the plot because Hanyu says oh it was her btw and Rikas like aight bet and questions her friends. Previous chapters have also spent a lot of time talking about how vital Keiichi is for break free but in this chapter he’s kinda sidelined and clueless. As far as I’m concerned however my problems get fixed in the alternate ending so I can’t complain that much. Chapter good but dumb

That’s it? That’s your new monster? That’s just the same one but in blue!

Chat is there actually a mountain in Canada called Celeste with a destroyed city, castle and hotel chat is this real 1 in chat if this is real chat

IT WON’T END!!! WHY WON’T THE GAME END??? I WAS LIKE SHIT SIGURD IS TWEAKING BUT THEN THE GAME ADDS 3 ARCS HE ISN’T RELEVANT IN??? IM OVER 50 HOURS IN FREE ME ARGHHHH

It’s fun but it’s missing something and I can’t pin down what it is

Everything being unlocked can’t save that boring gameplay loop

Game good when it’s not breaking the flow with the most mundane and basic detective gameplay.

Miles Morales 2 please, get that bum Peter Parker out of here!
