At last I have finished the Ace Attorney trilogy and I gotta say, what an incredibly fun set of games! Loved every bit of it - The cases, the puzzle solving, the over-the-top characters, it's all great stuff.

Ace Attorney is a great start to the series. It's a really good introduction to all the character we'll grow to know and love. The best of this game is getting to see Edgeworth's arc. He's easily the best prosecutor in the series I love seeing his and Phoenix's relationship grow throughout the trilogy.

Justice for All does great at stepping-up the gameplay, making use of the "Profiles" feature in investigation and well as the element of Psycho-locks which makes the investigation portions more engaging. However, whilst I do like her, I found von Karma a bit of a step-down to Edgeworth and probably the weakest prosecutor of the series. This game also had my least favourite case in "Turnabout Big Top". That said, the final case was truly excellent and really laid the tension and stakes on thick whilst introducing a compelling dilemma, probably my favourite of the trilogy.

And lastly, Trials and Tribulations was a satisfying conclusion to the series. Not only having a compelling narrative throughout but also bringing the whole trilogy together. Godot especially was a facinating character and I love the revelations of his character and motivations.

All in all, absolutely adored this trilogy! And the fact there's more Ace Attorney beyond these three games fills my heart with joy to no end.
