Capcom can do anything. If there's two things I hate in the world it's visual novels and anime and capcom somehow made an anime visual novel that I loved.
The games involves 4 cases plus 1 bonus case and the gameplay doesn't consist of much. There is no gameplay at all during the investigation part of the game and the trial part only has a little bit of gameplay, with choosing the evidence to present and choosing the correct statement to press, but this is, of course, a very story oriented game. The gameplay is fine for what it is, especially as this is the first installment in a series, and I know the gameplay gets better over time.
And boy is that story good. Been playing a lot of games lately with more of a character focus, especially the protaganist, and it was a nice change of pace to have a balance of plot and characters. Phoenix wright was a cool character, and the other vast amount of side characters are masterful, with the villains being so punchable. A lot of the characters are quite over the top which I at first was kind of iffy about, but it ended up growing on me. The cases are very cool. So many twists and turns that feel earned and very intriguing cases.
My one flaw with this is, actually an entire case, that being case 5. As you can see I started it two weeks ago, it took me two weeks to beat a 20 hour game because the last case was 10 HOURS. I kept on delaying playing it, and when I finally did get around to it, it was a slog. The case is so drawn out which sucks, because the case itself is great and probably the second best in the game. However length of one case can only bring this down so much, and this is still an AMAZING time, which I highly recommend
