Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy

The same like, 5 sounds on loop for 40+ hours. Nonsensical "puzzles" which have no basis in reality and are just trial and error until you find out the solution. Constantly repeating the plot, if you think modern Netflix treats the audience as stupid then you will hate this. The constant flashing to a white screen during every single conversation, it is actually aids. Each character has like, one or two animations that completely halt the text while they perform it, which no joke, probably totals up to an hour across all three games. The complete lack of surprise, every single case I was able to tell who the "real killer" was from literally their first introduction. Obviously the evil looking police chief did it. Obviously the evil looking prosecutor did it. Obviously the evil looking student did it. The story wouldn't be so annoying if it wasn't so tedious, if you could consume this in actual book form I might recommend it. Sometimes a really good story can break past awful gameplay mechanics (see Pathologic), but this is not that good of a story, and arguably worse gameplay. Characters constantly repeating the plot, literally explaining word for word what happened no less than 5…

As someone that doesn't play a lot of visual novels, it was certainly a bit slow at first. A friend helped me push through that slowness and told me to keep going, it was well worth it in the end. The last episode of the third game wrapped so much together that I cried over it. It's also fairly easy to 100% the achievements, would recommend it if you are a completionist. I had to go back and replay a couple of episodes but the game tracks completion for dialog-based achievements separately, so you don't have to complete the episode if you only missed something in the beginning or middle.

Great port of the original trilogy, which are already great games themselves.

HEARTWARMING: the late mia fey still has immeasurable levels of aura even after death

Genuinely an amazing trilogy of games. It feels so good figuring things out as you go, the characters are fun and memorable, and unwrapping all the connections is great. Everyone talks about how great these games are and I definitely think they lived up to the hype.

good game has maya fey
