A lawyer with an improbable haircut, contradictions to root out, and a resounding 'OBJECTION' at the right moment.

On gut feeling, the community is split, dead center. The detail reveals a typical visual novel profile. Its asset is art style, well placed ahead of most games: its expressive characters and quirky tone leave a mark. But attachment, controller feel, and the desert island pick finish at the very bottom. Nothing abnormal: Ace Attorney is barely an action game, it is a text driven investigation where you read, deduce, and corner the liars. Its raw sensation criteria are not the right ground to judge it.

Next to other adventure games and visual novels, this conclusion of the original trilogy is often cited as the best, for its twists and its writing.

So, who is it for? For you if you like investigations, quirky humor, and layered stories. Much less if you want action or controller feel.
