Investigations' gameplay is actually more fun than mainline AA but this game doesn't really do it justice because every case in this game is painfully average. It's enjoyable seeing returning characters in this fashion but other than that there really isn't much interesting going on in this game.

BY FAR the best AA game. It's absolutely insane going from AAI1 to this. Some of the best new characters, returning characters, and cases this series has to offer. The only game in the series where I can confidently say every case is fantastic.
Guarantee any AA fans who complain about this game's story have never played a Layton game in their life LMAO

Peak gaming. Peak platforming. Nothing else to be said honestly. Only game I'd rate a 10/10.
This was the final AA game I needed to play since it didn't get officially localized until 2021 and before that I always heard from people who watched it subbed that it was possibly the best game in the series. I heard constant praise for this game and I expected another AAI2. When I played it, it certainly was... good. Nothing mindblowing. Somehow the one filler case ended up being my favorite, genuinely great cae and a great use of the location and time period. 1 and 3 are pretty good too, and then when I saw how the last case was formatted I knew this would not be matching AAI2. At the end, this game was pretty good. 2nd or 3rd favorite AA game with T&T.
As a whole, TGAAC is like a 9/10, better than the sum of its parts.

I've rewatched this game like 16 times at this point and it never gets old. Genuinely peak fiction.
Takes a while to get going but it's a fun time once it does. Everything after the final boss is what gets this game its high score tbh, already over halfway through the series and I still don't think there's been a cooler ending than this one.

I feel sorry for anyone who played this as their first Trails game genuinely why did they prioritize localizing this before Crossbell when the plot of those games kinda matters a lot here
Another Code R's remake genuinely gives 999 a run for its money in the "most butchered story in a modern rerelease of a cult classic visual novel" category, bravo arcsys

I quite liked this game but persona is absolutely not beating the monotony simulator allegations because holy shit does it feel like nothing is happening for like 40% of the game
Xenoblade 2 ripped off this game (they are both peak)
SO IF YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF THE WORDS

Xenoblade 3 is really, really, really good for the majority of its runtime and feels like the culmination of everything Monolith learned from their previous games and has possibly one of the single best sequences in the entire series in CH5/6 and has so many loveable and memorable characters and then falls off in like the last chapter hard. It's not like it's terrible or anything but man I really hope for the sake of the story that the DLC is an epilogue (and is also good). Still a fantastic game overall.

Genuine slop. Despite being the shortest CS game it felt the longest. They made a civil war boring. The villains were funny and I did in fact soyjack at 3D Crossbell (would've been a 6/10 otherwise).
