The brand new cast, while overall not as charming as the one from the phoenix wright series, is a welcome breath of fresh air and certain characters like Holmes go toe to toe with the best from the OG series while the side characters continue to be consistently entertaining. The presentation is absolutely stellar. The animations are top notch as per usual with the rest of the series but the brand new deductions are a step above the rest and look fantastic. The jury system is a welcome, if a tad repetitive, addition and it's bizarre the jury doesn't come up more often in this series. The jury members can be a little one-note sometimes and there are quite a few later on that talk about nonsense without stating their actual verdict/reasoning so you have to press them when they should be on-topic in the first place. The music as well is great as usual but I thought the cornered theme was relatively weak. Naruhodo is very similar to Phoenix in a lot of ways but thankfully feels different enough most likely due to the recurring culture divide throughout the story. I appreciate the differentiating of cases by having a couple that were just trials and one that was just an investigation (substantially boosted by the deductions) but overall I felt the mysteries were comparatively weak and I faced a LOT of situations where I figured out a trick and had to wait a long while before they were brought up but that is pretty common for the series. As a final note it is annoying that there are some plotlines left unfinished such as the hounds of baskerville and the morse code message, particularly given how long it took to just get the first game translated, but overall it's not a big detriment or anything.
