Ace Attorney is one of my favorite game series, and since I haven't played the trilogy for like six years I wanted to give them another go. This first game is a really solid one, filled with wonderful characters, really funny moments and incredibly satisfactory parts that make you feel pretty clever. That would normally be all I say about it, but since I love this series I've decided to give a little review for each chapter.
• The First Turnabout: this is the perfect introduction to the franchise, it's simple yet fun even in multiple runs, and it sets the tone and the core mechanics of the game. This and the first case of Trials are the best first chapters.
• Turnabout Sisters: probably my favorite of this game. It starts with a completely unexpected twist, it introduces us to the best characters in the game (Maya, Gumshoe and Edgeworth) and it devolves into many wacky situations, culminating with an immensely satisfying defeat of the main villain.
• Turnabout Samurai: as far as "filler" chapters go this one is good, it has best side character Oldbag after all, but it's true that the investigation segments can drag a lot and the antagonist here is pretty bland.
• Turnabout Goodbyes: another fantastic case. This one gives Edgeworth a lot of depth, it has a great atmosphere and as a closing to the game it works perfectly... but unfortunately it's not the last chapter in this version of the game.
• Rise from the Ashes: I'm mixed on this one, it introduces a great companion and an imposing villain, and the stuff done with Edgeworth here is immaculate, but this chapter does feel pretty shoehorned in, the better quality of the new characters' sprites contrasts a lot with the old ones and it feels way too freaking long, specially when the middle chunk is just dealing with the stories of the forgettable side cast.
Anyways, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an amazing game and the start of an even more amazing franchise, and I can't wait to play the rest sometime this year.

A really creative VN which simulates the style of a nature documentary in an alien planet. It's a bit short but it has some great worldbuilding and I really want to see what other curious species are the focus of next parts.
Phantom Liberty is an amazing addition to the already great Cyberpunk 2077. It introduces an amazing cast of characters that are so fleshed out and multifaceted that, despite this being a DLC, feel way more human than the already great cast of the main game. The location is also fantastic, Dogtown keeps the core of Night City but brings a lot of its own personality and interesting worldbuilding. The boss battles are also really fun, specially the chimera, and the story is thrilling and deep, and I love how drastically it changes depending on the route you take on the second third. There were a couple of annoying bugs here and there, but even then, Phantom Liberty is an incredibly fun and frantic spy thriller on the surface, while on the inside it's a gut punching way of tackling how patriotism or blindly following something may lead to the worst of endings for people.
