Going through the games in release order, this is the weakest by a considerable margin, but this was still a treat. I don't think Apollo and Trucy are quite as strong as Phoenix and Maya, but they're still fun to watch. Gavin was a really fun rival with a killer theme song. There was, to put it lightly, a lot of dumb shit, even compared to other Ace Attorney games. The way the judicial system works is inconsistent, and that ends up being the theme of the game. It's an interesting point to touch on, but the way they convey it is through events that are incongruous with how things would rationally take place. I'm always a fan when these games come full circle, and this entry does that particularly well. You are fed bits of information throughout the game that all feel like they pay off. This game never really has the impact of its predecessors, but I don't think that warrants it being disregarded, because this was still a great time.
