Victorian London, a Japanese lawyer out of his depth, and trials that flip on one badly placed sentence.

On gut feeling, the community puts it barely above average, ahead of 55% of games. The detail digs in both directions. Attachment and the desert island pick hold high, ahead of roughly two thirds of titles, and the wish to rediscover it fresh climbs ahead of 80% of games. But the controller feel collapses to the floor, ahead of only 7% of titles, and immediate fun clears just 21%. That isn't a contradiction, it's honesty. You don't play an Ace Attorney for the hands. You play it for what it tells you, and the profile says so plainly.

Against visual novels and detective games, Resolve closes what the first entry opened, with dense writing and late revelations. On criteria built for the feel of a controller, a text game starts out losing. What makes it great simply isn't what these questions measure.

So, who's it for? For you if you love reading, doubting, piecing things back together, and feeling a trial turn on its head. Much less so if you want something to do with your hands rather than a story to take apart with your head.
