Saying I had a LOT of apprehensions before playing this game would be and understatement given the fact that I've barely seen any good feedback about the game and... It's really good ? Don't get me wrong, I agree that there are shit cases in this game but, well, every AA games have 1 or 2 cases that are bad/mid. The worse one is clearly 5-2 that is almost worse than 3-3 but that's all. 5-3 is predictable but that's all there is to say. 5-4 and 5-5 are just the same case but split in two so I'll treat them as the same case and what a ride it was from the beginning to the end, many plot twists and false assumptions that get destroyed by big revelations just like... 1-4 or 3-5 yes. I think what people say about this game are really not fair and most of the criticism toward the game is because it doen't refer enough to AA4. Which I think is great since I think this is the weakest entry of the franchise (as far as I've progressed through it). Athena and Blackquill are truly great and revealed to a have a great alchemy together unlike Apollo and Konrad. The DLC case is also really great, far better than 5-2 and 5-3 (which is decent) so in the end the game has way more than half of his cases that are great/peak.
