Veredito: Mistério criminal top de linha.
Quando pára pra pensar, Ace Attorney é quase um milagre. O original era EXTREMAMENTE de nicho (que inclusive demorou uns anos pra lançar fora do Japão), de um gênero nada popular e com temas praticamente inexplorados no mundo dos jogos, feito por uma equipe de menos de 10 pessoas liderada por um carinha que tinha trabalhado em pouquíssimos projetos antes deste. É um jogo que reutiliza sem dó fundos de cenário, animações, músicas, efeitos sonoros, tudo o que precisar para conseguir focar no que interessa: as tramas e os personagens. Que um joguinho quase de fundo de quintal assim tenha ESSE NÍVEL ABSURDO DE QUALIDADE e conseguiu sucesso o bastante pra virar uma franquia com 8 jogos espalhados em um milhão de plataformas... bom, é quase um milagre.
Pra quem nunca jogou, é uma sequência de 5 casos de assassinato protagonizados por um advogado iniciante. Seu objetivo é conseguir evidências fora do tribunal em seções de aventura gráfica apontar-e-clicar, para provar a inocência do seu cliente dentro do tribunal em sessões de visual novel. Toda a jogabilidade se resume a PENSAR. Todas as testemunhas sempre mentem para incriminar seu cliente, e seu papel é comparar o que elas falam com as evidências disponíveis para expôr as contradições. Logo no tutorial você tem um assassino que testemunha contra o seu amigo de infância e a arma do crime é uma mini-estátua pesada pra caralho d'O Pensador que na verdade é um relógio e que tá com o horário desatualizado... E o roteiro só vai ficando cada vez mais cabeludo.
Os dois primeiros casos são espetaculares, o terceiro é bem bom, e os dois últimos são PUTA QUE PARIU GENIAIS. É impossível terminar o quarto caso sem sentir um profundo respeito pelo relacionamento sincero entre Phoenix, Miles, Larry e as irmãs Fey. Sem admirar a dedicação com que todos fazem seu trabalho e lutam pelo que acreditam, por mais antagônicas que possam ser as posições em que se encontram nesse ou naquele momento. O incidente DL-6 de 15 anos atrás, e todas as suas consequências, é tratado com maturidade e sensibilidade. E quando você acha que não poderia ficar melhor, o jogo te taca um 5º caso de epílogo pós créditos do mesmo nível de qualidade do 4º, com novos personagens extremamente empatizáveis e que explica muito bem todos os rumores por trás do suposto antagonista do jogo.
O jogo tem defeitos, óbvio. Mas fora a sexualização exagerada de uma médium adolescente, aquele fetiche básico de pedofilia com toques de necrofilia, fica realmente difícil mencionar algo que eu não passe pano por causa dos bastidores do jogo. Cara, eram menos de 10 pessoas, o roteirista era também diretor e faz-tudo, é claro que iam ter tropeços.
Se tu nunca jogou, pode ir sem medo. Não vai ser perfeito, mas vai ser bom pra caralho.

Genuinely brilliant.
Everything about Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney is so meticulously detailed and brimming with personality, whether it be the character animations, the facial expressions, the text scroll speeding up and slowing down, and of course, the music. My god the music.
Yes the final case might have been dragged out a little too long, and it was home to a few annoying puzzles due to forced DS quirkiness, but that can not take away from what an amazing package this is.
Absolutely can't wait to play the rest of the games in the trilogy and the entire series in the future.

Fetch-quest central gets boring fast. Mia is literally that one Egoraptor Mega Man video where Roll halts all gameplay to tell you exactly what to do. Unbearable.
P.S.
The characters and vibes are all very charming, unfortunately the navigation and Investigation sections suck so much ass that I cannot be bothered to finish it.

Essa é a minha Review (sem spoilers) de Phoenix Wright Ace attorney:
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Inicialmente lançado no game boy advance no ano de 2001, depois ganhou relançamento que saiu para Nintendo DS no ano de 2005 mas essa Review é da versão do trilogy lançada no Nintendo 3ds.
No jogo nos somos um advogado de defesa chamado de Phoenix Wright, temos que defender o nosso cliente e descobrir se a testemunha está mentindo, achar pistas para a cena do crime. Todos os casos desse jogo
são simplesmente bons, o único que eu não curto tanto é o terceiro caso acho ele meio arrastado mas não deixa de ser um bom caso!
Junto com uma história cativante e vários personagens carismáticos e momentos marcantes. Eu só tenho uma coisa a dizer que esse jogo é simplesmente sensacional!

Mano, esse jogo é literalmente umas dúzias de sprites feitos por 15 pessoas sla e é melhor que muito jogo hoje em dia QUE LAPADA
Os únicos pontos fracos desse jogo só vem dele ser de DS e ser pequeno (que são mais circunstâncias do que defeitos)

What a wild experience this was, playing the original Ace Attorney game and finally seeing what the hype is about with this series. Thank you Game Pass!
For the most part, I absolutely loved the courtroom segments of this game. They are the meat of it of course, and solving puzzles, finding contradictions, it's so much fun. The music goes along with this perfectly, I love it so much. Each case has some absolutely wild twists that kept me on the edge of my seat all the way to the end. Investigations are a different story though, these mostly just drag. In universe, trials must reach a verdict within three days, and most of them here take up all of that time. This means you'll be asked to investigate three separate times, running around the same areas and solving puzzles to progress. It gets draining after a while, even if there are some big WOAH moments here and there.
This game also has some pretty ridiculous writing if I'm being honest, such as requiring you to do something stupid so that Phoenix is left at a disadvantage in the coming day in court. These range from walking up to the person who you're going to accuse of murder and waving evidence at them, to Phoenix being too stupid to turn a piece of evidence around and look at the other side until he's about to lose a trial. It's baffling honestly.
With that, I guess I'll just give my opinions on the individual cases. Cases 1 and 2 are pretty solid, I enjoyed them a lot even if they were pretty simple. Case 3 is alright but it definitely drags. The investigation segments here aren't really fun, but the final day in court might just make up for all of that honestly. Edgeworth is the best. Case 4 is absolutely incredible. I loved it to bits. Everything just fits together so well and I was glued to the screen during it, there are so many amazing twists, and it's a perfect conclusion to the story.
However, in all rereleases of the game, there is an extra case to play. This was originally meant to take advantage of the Nintendo DS and encourage buying the game a second time, even if we never got the GBA version in the west. Case 5 definitely screams DS though, and it leaves me pretty split on it. Investigation segments take FOREVER here because there are added gimmicks meant to take advantage of the touch screen and microphone. These have been reworked for the HD version, but they still just feel like a waste of time. The courtroom segments are pretty great though. I love the story here and all the new characters. It was super satisfying to finally fit all the pieces together and it adds a lot to Edgeworth's character, which is great.
I know I complained a fair bit here but I really did enjoy myself playing this. The game is a little rough around the edges but there's nothing quite like the feeling of figuring out a contradiction and watching everything fall into place as the music ramps up, it's AMAZING. I am most definitely interested in playing more of this series, because if the original game is this well put together, that's a great sign.
Also Phoenix and Edgeworth are definitely gay holy shit.

This was a replay on PlayStation 4.
eu já queria joga-lo tem alguns anos, então decidi por terminar o ano com essa pedrada. Cada caso tem seu charme, suas reviravoltas e tudo o mais, eu diria que o único problema dele são as horas extensas em certos casos (principalmente no caso 5)
Ah, my childhood... "Like the scent of fresh lemons."
8/10
Excellent start to a stellar trilogy, only being taken down a star due to the sequels expanding on this formula.
Small note: Rise from the Ashes is just a carbon copy of some of the key elements from Turnabout Goodbyes, with a villain in a position of power and a replacement for Maya. Aside from that, a very stellar case.
Case 4 > Case 5 > Case 3 > Case 2 > Case 1

O que molda esse jogo são os personagens e a relação deles com os casos, e todos os 5 casos são marcantes e diversificados, especialmente o último que evolui o jogo muito mecanicamente, uma das melhores visual novels que tem no mercado.

Capcom can do anything. If there's two things I hate in the world it's visual novels and anime and capcom somehow made an anime visual novel that I loved.
The games involves 4 cases plus 1 bonus case and the gameplay doesn't consist of much. There is no gameplay at all during the investigation part of the game and the trial part only has a little bit of gameplay, with choosing the evidence to present and choosing the correct statement to press, but this is, of course, a very story oriented game. The gameplay is fine for what it is, especially as this is the first installment in a series, and I know the gameplay gets better over time.
And boy is that story good. Been playing a lot of games lately with more of a character focus, especially the protaganist, and it was a nice change of pace to have a balance of plot and characters. Phoenix wright was a cool character, and the other vast amount of side characters are masterful, with the villains being so punchable. A lot of the characters are quite over the top which I at first was kind of iffy about, but it ended up growing on me. The cases are very cool. So many twists and turns that feel earned and very intriguing cases.
My one flaw with this is, actually an entire case, that being case 5. As you can see I started it two weeks ago, it took me two weeks to beat a 20 hour game because the last case was 10 HOURS. I kept on delaying playing it, and when I finally did get around to it, it was a slog. The case is so drawn out which sucks, because the case itself is great and probably the second best in the game. However length of one case can only bring this down so much, and this is still an AMAZING time, which I highly recommend

découverte de fou l'ambiance et les musiques très très fort
Ace Attorney franchise is amongst the most popular visual novel videogames, so naturally, I often hear good things about it, be it from friends who like the genre or online discourse. I decided to give the first game a try to see what all the ruckus was about and well shit, it’s GOOD. Before I start talking more about it, there’s a tiny nitpick that I’d like to get off my chest.
About halfway through the game, I was reading some online trivia regarding the franchise and found out that the English localization changes A LOT when it comes to character names and where the story takes place (US in the localization and Japan in the original). I was negatively surprised to find out about this because even though Capcom is a Japanese game developer, it is not uncommon for them to make games that take place in the US with American characters as well, such as the Resident Evil franchise, for example. Why does this annoy me? Because it just feels unnecessary. Sure, it might be cool for Americans, but I’m not American, and not just me, but everyone playing a version that’s not the Japanese one has to play with the American names and all. Like I said, nitpicking, but I hate this feeling that I’m having a “fake experience.” Anyway, I don’t expect anyone else to give a shit about this, just felt like saying. With that out of the way, let me actually start writing about the game.
The story is centered around five cases, each of which could be an entire movie plot; they’re truly that interesting. Even though each case is centralized on itself, the characters and references to previous cases are still present, reminding you that this is all part of one journey – and what a journey it is. The cast is full of intriguing and unique characters, and the interactions are mostly enjoyable. The investigation aspect of the game is genuinely interesting, and I really enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny. However, the main charm of the game resides in the courthouse sections. Although I wasn’t sold on every resolution and plot twist, I was certainly interested in paying attention to the details the entire time. Those sections are definitely a ride of various emotions, and the soundtrack does a damn fine job in creating atmosphere, tension, and satisfaction. The gameplay is simple, and the puzzles are not hard to figure out. Even if you get them wrong at crucial points, the game is still very forgiving. But I say this in a positive light – it is very accessible to anyone who wishes to play while still managing to be intriguing most of the time. And of course, the humor may not be for everyone (not in my case, got me grinning a lot), but you can’t deny how full of charm this game is.
With that said, I would definitely recommend this game not only to those who have shown previous interest in it but also to those who have never played any VN. It is a good way to get into the genre. I can say without a doubt that the Ace Attorney/Gyakuten Saiban franchise has gained a new fan who cannot wait to play the rest of the series.

Praticamente é meu primeiro contato com uma VN longa.
O começo da história é muito interessante, o jogo já te apresenta a que veio, quebrar a cabeça pra achar e ligar as provas pra provar a inocência dos clientes é muito bom. Só desgosto de alguns casos te obrigarem a "falhar" pra poder seguir a história e de algumas soluções meio absurdas, mas no geral é bem aceitável.
Gostei de todos os personagens no geral, ri muito com os diálogos de Mauro e Alice. Por sinal, o pessoal que traduziu o jogo fez um ótimo trabalho, até adaptando o nome dos personagens pro português.
Dos 4 casos principais não desgostei de nenhum, apesar de ter ficado com um pouco de preguiça no 3, mas como tem um twist muito foda no final ele se compensa.

When I cross-examined that parrot, I knew I’d put this shit in my top 20
o ato 1 é simples mas introduz bem às mecânicas do jogo, o ato 2 é trágico mas muito legal e dificulta, o 3 é o melhor de todos, o 4 é legal e o 5 é chatinho
my bank pin is 0001 because I'm number one
I actually first played this game and beat the original four cases on the Switch version, but dropped the additional chapter for some reason... which I regret immensely now that I finished everything on the 3DS.
Maybe it's just a matter of being in a different headspace, but I appreciated everything so much more this time around. It starts quite slow and a bit uninteresting, but as each case progresses the stories get longer, more detailed and interesting. There's more twists and turns, and the fifth chapter just blows it out of the water.
It's not a five stars because for me this would be impossible / insanely frustrating to best without a guide at times, but once I put my pride aside and looked online for help on where to go next / what to press on during trials, everything was just so much more enjoyable for me. It's partly my fault but at the same time the game isn't always as clear as it should be on telling you where to go next. Either that or I'd know what to present on trial, but I wasn't explaining myself in the way the game wanted me to.
Despite all this, Ace Attorney is a game that I feel an emotional connection with and one that I absolutely adore with all my heart. Can't wait to try the next games! Looking forward to plenty more hours with this series!

I had a pretty good time playing this game. The first couple of cases were pretty basic, the answer to "Who dun it?" is pretty apparent or revealed too early. Even though the game was originally made for the GBA, I think it is remastered quite well for modern platforms, the controls are intuitive and the performance is solid.
Solving the cases felt a lot like trial and error to me or there was a deus ex machina blowing the case wide open and not many eureka-feeling moments that I was looking for
Except the last case, now that one was a roller coaster ride,
I really loved the addition of 3D elements and combing through videos in that final case, really felt I was solving a case instead of blindly going through every option to find what unlocks the next stage of the case
A lot of frustration while figuring out how exactly the game wanted me to proceed was subdued a lot with the excellent soundtrack that I even listen to outside of the game at moments and the pleasant artwork and animations, some of the expressions Edgeworth or Mia makes are hilarious and still stick around in my thoughts lol
the characters are the highlight of this game truly for me. they are fun to hang out with or interview, people who either put their personalities on their sleeve or are really bad at hiding their true motives lol
Overall, it was an enjoyable time and I am excited to continue playing the series. But I feel this type of game would truly shine if it allowed me to progress making incomplete findings and making incorrect assumptions and eventually failing a case spectacularly and the consequent mystery of finding out what went wrong. As of now, it's a very guided experience with very little chance that you'll fail a case

Solving the cases felt a lot like trial and error to me or there was a deus ex machina blowing the case wide open and not many eureka-feeling moments that I was looking for, but the story and characters were engaging enough to keep me going. I had a lot of frustrating moments trying to figure out how exactly the game wanted me to proceed, I feel it would have been better if the game allowed me to proceed to the next stage whenever I wanted not railroaded into doing the very specific thing the game wants me to do to progress.
Except for that last case though, now that one was a roller coaster ride, a revelation that happened to me around halfway through the case that I did not see coming at all but was so obvious in hindsight still sticks around in my thoughts as I write this. It really felt I was solving a case instead of blindly going through every option to find what unlocks the next stage of the case. I also really loved the addition of 3D elements and combing through the videos section in that final case
The excellent soundtrack elevates key moments in the game and I even listen to them outside of the game at moments and the pleasant artwork and animations bring it all together, some of the expressions Edgeworth or Mia makes are hilarious and still stick around in my thoughts lol. I would have liked a "Retro Mode" that made the game look and sound more like how it would on original hardware because I think the artwork is drawn for that resolution and display and some of the charm is lost with the upscaling the developers have done for this remaster.
The characters are the highlight of this game truly for me. they are fun to hang out with or interview, people who either put their personalities on their sleeve or are really bad at hiding their true motives lol
Overall, it was an enjoyable time and I am excited to continue playing the series. I feel people who like figuring out the narrative would like this game. It's no outer wilds but its stands tall nonetheless.

the characters are the highlight of this game truly for me. they are fun to hang out with or interview, people who either put their personalities on their sleeve or are really bad at hiding their true motives lol
Overall, it was an enjoyable time and I am excited to continue playing the series. But I feel this type of game would truly shine if it allowed me to progress making incomplete findings and making incorrect assumptions and eventually failing a case spectacularly and the consequent mystery of finding out what went wrong. As of now, it's a very guided experience with very little chance that you'll fail a case
I had a pretty good time playing this game. The first couple of cases were pretty basic, the answer to "Who dun it?" is pretty apparent or revealed too early. Even though the game was originally made for the GBA, I think it is remastered quite well for modern platforms, the controls are intuitive and the performance is solid. I played on a PS5.
Solving the cases felt a lot like trial and error to me or there was a deus ex machina blowing the case wide open and not many eureka-feeling moments that I was looking for, but the story and characters were engaging enough to keep me going. I had a lot of frustrating moments trying to figure out how exactly the game wanted me to proceed, I feel it would have been better if the game allowed me to proceed to the next stage whenever I wanted not railroaded into doing the very specific thing the game wants me to do to progress.
Except for that last case though, now that one was a roller coaster ride, a revelation that happened to me around halfway through the case that I did not see coming at all but was so obvious in hindsight still sticks around in my thoughts as I write this. It really felt I was solving a case instead of blindly going through every option to find what unlocks the next stage of the case. I also really loved the addition of 3D elements and combing through the videos section in that final case
The excellent soundtrack elevates key moments in the game and I even listen to them outside of the game at moments and the pleasant artwork and animations bring it all together, some of the expressions Edgeworth or Mia makes are hilarious and still stick around in my thoughts lol. I would have liked a "Retro Mode" that made the game look and sound more like how it would on original hardware because I think the artwork is drawn for that resolution and display and some of the charm is lost with the upscaling the developers have done for this remaster.

Overall, it was an enjoyable time and I am excited to continue playing the series. I feel people who like figuring out the narrative would like this game. It's no outer wilds but its stands tall nonetheless. But I feel this type of game would truly shine if it allowed me to progress making incomplete findings and making incorrect assumptions and eventually failing a case spectacularly and the consequent mystery of finding out what went wrong.

me when i OBJECTION to um a court case idk
Cuando hitea esta muy guay. Cuando no hitea pues no tanto. Y no hitea bastantes veces. Hay veces que encuentras algo obvio que no quiere tenerse en cuenta hasta mucho mas tarde de lo que crees, otras veces sabes que es lo que quiere el juego que encuentres pero no es con el item que tiene absoluta logica que lo sea. Otras el llegar de X a una conclusion Y es un salto completamente anti intuitivo, y otras conclusiones son un reach del copón. Aparte de estos problemas ludonarrativos que tengo, a veces el juego te hace ir de punto X a punto Y para luego de Y a X para luego de X a Z y luego de Z a X y finalmente de X a Y, supongo que para inflar artificialmente el tiempo de juego, y se hace un dolor de muelas.
Pero cuando hitea, es bastante divertido y satisfactorio el ir uniendo el misterio y sentirte inteligente porque sabes exactamente donde esta el problema. Esto, acompañado con efectos de sonido redondos y temazos muy conseguidos lo hacen una experiencia muy chula y satisfactoria.
Esa es mi opinion muy asi a grandes rasgos y sin meterme mucho, pero como dato ultimo añadido: me encantó el caso extra, es el caso mas largo de la saga y creo que aprovecha todo el tiempo que toma, crea un misterio con tantas capas y tan interesante.... Ah si, y que el diseño de personajes es excelente, me encantan.

WHY IS CASE 5 TEN YEARS
I think of anything im glad that my bitching and moaning about this game does not give a fuck about how court works actually got discussed in the final case. The game has super writing and really good twists. The characters are loveable and memorable.
Ultimately a very fun good journey, if not a lil brazy long sometimes.

Okay, who did it. Who designed that blue badger jar puzzle. I need to know.
On second thought maybe it was the same person at capcom that designed wily stage 4 in mega man 2. I told you guys they should have fired that person.

I reviewed the DS one by accident cause I didn't know this was listed here lmao so copy pasting, as I played on switch:
absurd how shu takumi and the gang fucking nailed it first time round
docking half a star solely because the pacing's still not quite perfected yet, like it is in later games
but god this game, and series, is peak
p.s. god i hate the remastered sprites

QUE JOGO BOM!
Um dos motivos que fazem Ace Attorney um jogo tão bom de se jogar é o fato dele ser linear e vc ter a sensação que não está deixando nada para trás, e isso te traz confiança na hr dos julgamentos.
Tudo nesse jogo é muito bom, a trilha sonora, ambientação, o carisma dos personagens,a história, TUDO!
Virei fã apenas.
