While not as good as the original trilogy, and also being a game that took me forever to finish, Dual Destinies really didn’t disappoint. I think Athena is a great addition to the cast as one of Phoenix’s apprentices, and the segments with the Mood Matrix are very intriguing, not to mention Athena’s moody, traumatized back story. There was one case however that I felt dragged on for far too long though and made me sigh numerous times. The last case definitely paid off in the end though and made up for whatever that other case was lacking. The soundtrack is really solid as well, but not as good as the previous entries. My favourite tracks were the Objection and the Mood Matrix theme.

I’d say it holds up as a pivotal entry in the Ace Attorney franchise, and is sooo worth playing if you loved the original trilogy and Apollo Justice!
