Every Ace Attorney Game Ranked
Haven't played Edgeworth investigations 2 or the Professor Layton Crossover yet
9 Games
This is the perfect AA game, every single case knocks it out of the park while sprinkling information throughout until you figure the biggest mystery.
1
Almost the perfect sequel, love the introduction of the magatama and Franziska as the prosecutor. Case 1 is pretty stupid and case 3 can get annoying but is overhated IMO. Case 2 and 4 is peak!
2
Although this game has the best pay off, when looking in isolation it does have some issues. The game doesn't add new mechanics and wasn't a fan of case 2 or 3. But case 1, 4, and 5 are peak!
3
Not a single bad case in the whole game, Phoenix's skill of being defence attorney comes together at the last case which is so satisfying. Only issues I have is case 5 being too long and the investigations being a bit awkward but I mean it was the first game so I give it a pass.
4
Although not having the best start (case 1 is too long and case 2 is pretty boring), after that bump it only continues to get better and better. Just don't anticipate case 5 to be a typical final case and more like the 5th case out of 10.
5
For the most part a really good AA game, the only issue is case 2 being terrible but everything else is really good. DLC also had no right being that good either.
6
Although the only AA game to make me cry, I despise how they treat Athena in this game by allocating her to the worst case in the whole series IMO.
7
It's good for the most part but case 5 drags and case 3 literally sucks.
8
This game honestly only has one good case, everything else is either mid or bad (looking at you case 4). The only redeeming qualities are the amazing sprites and possibly the best OST in the series. Apollo just doesn't grow at all in this game.
