The Great AA Chronicles:Holy shit where do I begin, this was my last two games before completely finishing the series (as of June 13th 2022) and I can say this game was fucking incredible.
Where do I begin I guess I should start with characters and wow what a great introduction to the new characters from Herlock to Gina, they were all written great, the music was incredible which I expect from the series. Lord Van Ziekes as a rival prosecutor was an incredible rival for the games with and incredible theme behind it and has a huge mystery behind him with him being called The Reaper Of The Bailey as everyone who has gotten an acquittal has died mysteriously which all gets solved by the final case of the second game. Gameplay was usual AA affair however with there being multiple witnesses you can see how others react during cross examinations in order to get more information which is such a nice feature from Layton vs AA. Another mechanic the games adds is the Dance of deduction where Herlock points out several things about a witness and they look about and when he gets something wrong you must point it out, Herlock isn’t dumb in this case he is getting things wring to help you improve as a lawyer. The final big gameplay change is a jury, the jury will determine if your client is guilty or not and during points they will all go for a guilty verdict, at this point you have to perform a judicial examination against them which is like the cross examination, but this time you will need point out statements that contradict each other pitting them against each other and making them change their vote in your favour so the trial can continue. The story was great especially the second game and how it wrapped all the mysteries from the first and second and so many twists and turns in the final case was shocking and I didn’t see where the game was going in the last 3 hours, but I loved it. While not really a big issue I should complain about the dialog can be tricky to read at times due to the game being set in Britain they have over the top accents making words hard to read at times, like Naruhodo being changed to ‘Oddo but that’s simple to read but some others took a few reads to understand (saying as a Brit myself), however this is for like 2-3 characters as each has a different accents while the rest each one is easy to read so it is a very minor pick I decide to pick out.
However overall, these two games were both incredible and the ending to the second game made me almost cry with the way everything wrapped up and, you know if your player gets emotional during the ending of a game cause they won’t see the characters again with fresh interactions you have truly made some fantastic characters. While I doubt, we will get a third games in the Great Ace Attorney series I would love if Capcom somehow find a way to make TGAA 3 or even a 7th instalment in the mainline series.
