frustratingly mid. it asks complex questions about justice and what is right and fair in a court of law by having wright lose his badge and introducing the concept of juries and falsified evidence, it's just soured by the fact that dual destinies immediately throws these ideas away. i enjoyed phoenix's characterisation and thought it was an interesting development of an (intentionally) blank character, but it's infuriating that it never goes anywhere

apollo's wristband mechanic is.. not as bad as people make it out to be, i don't mind the idea of using physical 'tells' against witnesses - especially as in previous games, some of the witnesses completely freak out on the stand and nobody reacts - but framing it as magical, instead of just having it be a talent of apollo's is annoying
