A short indie game that perfectly sets out what it aimed for. Whether it's the characters, the original artstyle or the surprisingly great soundtrack, everything is charming, relaxing and somewhat a little bittersweet at the end.

kinda sucks i cant do the secret boss because i saved the game too late ngl

11/10 Artstyle
10/10 Soundtrack
Really satisfying gameplay

Play this game

An extremely creative collectathon / Katamary Damacy-type game with an absolutely unhinged sense of humour.

I still haven't recovered from the levels where you have to steal and use a hospital bed as a floating balloon... with the actual dying patient still in it.

Fuck the Arthur Conan Doyle estate.

Only flaw to this is that you have to play the 1st one beforehand really.

Simply a mind-blowing masterpiece any video game enthusiasts such as myself ought to play at least once in their lifetime.

Truly God's magnum opus.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that no other piece of media misrepresents the job of lawyer as much as Ace Attorney.

10/10

Good fucking game. Almost everything in it is perfect, whether it's the artstyle, the combats or the dialogues.

Though it has to be noted that the game relies WAY too much on backtracking, mostly in sidequests but also in some chapters, which can make a lot of sections feel like a slog. I wish it had an actual fast-travelling method instead of a hub that's way too big. Also party members don't have any chemistry between each other which is a shame since they're all great individually.

But beside all of that, Paper Mario TTYD is a true testament as to how insanely creative and fun the JRPG genre can be.

Play this game if you haven't!

With the amazing atmosphere, really satisfying combats and the gigantic map, I completely understand why people love this game. It is all the more impressive when you learn that the game was made by like 4 people.

But in a genre where most of the fun (at least to me) comes from making mental notes and map in my head, it quickly becomes an exhausting experience. a 30-hour-long journey in a metroidvania feels like an eternity.

the only saving grace to this game is the professor's theme and some other songs too

This really felt like an apology to AJ fans, but other than that it's great. The whole new Apollo backstory is completely pulled out of nowhere and I wish it was at the very least teased in AA5, but I got used to it at the end. It's also the only game of the mainline series with AA3 where every cases was actually good. Nahyuta sucks hard though and I really didn't care about him and his struggle, but the other new characters were good.

I now wonder where the series could go from here. Maybe they'll continue down this path and we will still be playing with the Wright Anything Agency cast, or they could reboot the franchise like they did with AJ and have Apollo as your mentor in Khur'ain or smth like that, but either way, I hope they actually make another game, it's been 5 years already.
