A remaster of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Apollo Justice is the first game in the series that does not feature Phoenix Wright as the main protagonist, though it is not the first time a different attorney has been playable. The game is set in the year 2026, which is seven years after Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations. Phoenix Wright has been stripped of his attorney's badge, and Apollo Justice, an up-and-coming attorney, becomes his apprentice.

personally never understood why this one was so divisive beyond the obvious crowd that didn't like that it was a new cast. the cases are very strong, the new cast is great, and the music as always is fantastic.
also i really like ema in this, like a lot. casting her as a grouchy failed forensics applicant who ended up stuck as a detective and clearly doesn't wanna be there was so smart.

The trilogy version of "Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney".
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, is a mind blowing game that I believe has some of the highest highs in the Ace Attorney franchise (that I've played through so far, 1-4) The standout cases in this game are 4-1 and 4-4, the starting and final cases. I won't spoil the story in this review so I'll talk about the gameplay which is standard ace attorney gameplay with a slight twist. You investigate crime scenes to find evidence to prove your client innocent and find out who the true killer is. During the trial sections you have to cross examine a witness who is lying to you, and to prove that they are lying you have to present evidence contradicting what they're saying. The twist is that Apollo, the main character, has a bracelet that can let him perceive minute details, like when a witness tenses up which means they're hiding something. The story is incredible and while it does include Phoenix Wright, I feel like this is the best standalone ace attorney game (that I've played through so far, 1-4) besides the original Ace Attorney. I also love the graphics and especially the music, some standouts being “Apollo Justice - A New Era Begins!” and “Cross-Examination - Allegro 2007” The second part of the investigation in 4-4 dragged on for a bit and the second part of the trial in 4-2 felt too short but other than those two parts, I feel like the game was pretty well paced. Apollo Justice isn't perfect, but it's pretty close to perfect for me so it gets a 10/10. I'm hoping Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice keep up the trend of great Ace Attorney games!
I somehow played the first 3 cases of this game like 4 times when I was younger, don't know why I never started the 4th case, but replaying this game now? It's really good even with it's faults.
Tem os seus momentos interessantes e divertidos, mas os últimos casos, para mim, começar a sair demasiado do sendo do real. Claro, o jogo não quer ser um 1:1 da realidade, mas, no final do jogo, estava apenas a ler e carregar opções óbvias para o terminar.
No es en absoluto el mejor de la saga y tiene partes bastante flojas (sobre todo en la parte de en medio), pero lo compensa con buenos personajes nuevos, el mismo carisma de siempre y un caso final buenísimo que te deja con buen sabor de boca al final.
El remaster le ha sentado bien y los diseños de los personajes brillan más que nunca, pero más allá de eso está igual que el original. Un lavado de cara y ya.
Buen jueguito, con sus peros.

It's definitely not the strongest in the series, and it has a bunch of weak aspects (mostly in the middle), but it makes up for it with good new characters, the same charisma, and a fantastic final case that leaves you with a good aftertaste.
The remaster looks great on it and the character designs shine brighter than ever, but beyond that it's exactly like the original. It looks better, but that's it.
Good game, despite its flaws.
