This game, bar none, is the best Ace Attorney experience I’ve ever had, one of the greatest gaming experiences I’ve ever had, to the point I doubt these two incredible games will ever be topped, in their series or otherwise. They didn’t drop the ball a SINGLE time in this entire collection, to the point where “good” doesn’t aptly describe a single one. Every single case is on par with some of the series’ greatest, a great cast of interesting characters, a great overarching story, great investigations, great trials, it has EVERYTHING. Truly deserving to be named "The Great Ace Attorney".

This is truly the best Ace Attorney has to offer

From the best soundtrack to the best storytelling, this duology is where Takumi shines at displaying how much he's improved. More concise trials, almost everything in both entries linking together to form a nigh perfectly cohesive story accompanied with equally strong character writing.

His grasp on his wackiness and mystery hasn't left him one bit with how colourful the side cast is while making them more human than ever by utilizing the new setting.

I don't have much more to add without spoiling but some of the themes and dialogue exchanges in this game are basically poetic, it's insane how contrasting it is to older entries at points all the while keeping its core charm.

The minute I booted up this game I felt all of the almost five years it's been since Spirit of Justice hit North America. While I wish these games didn't take this long to get localized, I'm ultimately happy I got to play them back to back as they're essentially two halves to one whole. Not that they're bad games standalone just the first game creates and leaves so many loose ends I imagine it was just begging you to buy the sequel when it came out.

Outside of all that, the stories are good, the characters and the writing are good, the music is great, the new mechanics for the trial and investigation periods are great and the presentation is absolutely fucking phenomenal holy SHIT.
