4 was good, great even (phoenix unc arc is peak), 5 and 6 are very meh if you could just get 4 and play that it would be a solid buy, but alas you have to get the trilogy as a bundle play investigations or chronicles duology instead if you haven't, only play this if you really need to attorneymaxx (i needed to attorneymaxx)

Just finished this trilogy today, what an amazing experience, i think these 3 games had some of the best cases in the franchise. First of all Apollo justice is my third favourite Ace Attorney game at the moment, each case had me hooked in, and i loved learning about the amazing cast of characters consisting of Apollo himself, Trucy, Klavier, Kristoph, what happened to Phoenix Wright himself, etc. 1-1 and 1-4 …

This trilogy is not necessarily worse than its predecessor, but it is far more inconsistent, i.e. low lows high highs and all that. I just hope that in the future capcom feels more confident in putting more focus on new characters and ideas rather than relying on the popularity of older ones, and its sad to see new characters get introduced with nothing to do after their arc is done. They are mostly good while …

As a package, AJ Trilogy is very thorough in its amount of included content, and overall I think it does an excellent job preserving the games on offer. If you're already a fan of them, you'd obviously be doing yourself a favor by picking this collection up. As individual games, however, it's a bit of a mixed bag imo. AA4 is flawed, but very interesting, whereas AA5 and 6 both feel like regressions on themselves, …

Ugh, I'm not sure what to think about this one... This game has so many good moments but then at the same time just as many bad ones it's genuinely frustrating. I've played every single AA game and this one is somehow the only one that left me feeling this way. I think the biggest problem for me is how this game sometimes makes me feel like I'm the only smart one in the room. I never (or rarerly) felt that way …

They just BEG to be analyzed, tiered, discussed, and enjoyed. Maybe I can make an Ace Attorney book club 😂

neutral · AI labelView post →......So is it just me or does it feel wrong to call this the "Apollo Justice Trilogy" when said trilogy kind of side-lined him after his debut game. Like is it really the "Apollo Justice Trilogy" if he's only the protagonist for one out of three games?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →New game added to the competed list - Ace Attorney Investigations. A collection of 2 games and it took 65 hours to complete. The 2nd game especially had such a good story! Omg I love this series That leaves only the Apollo Justice games and I’ll have played the whole main series 🙂↕️
neutral · AI labelView post →nooo but fr. Apollo Justice Ace Attorney is genuinely a good game for a multitude of reasons. interesting plot. conviction in its themes. really fun new gimmick. funny and heartening characters. but i'm most taken by how the main 4-5 characters all playfully antagonize each other

neutral · AI labelView post →People act surprised when I tell them that Apollo Justice is my favorite Ace Attorney game, even though it's nowhere near the best. My fondness for it has nothing to do with its quality and everything to do with Apollo Justice being Literally Me.
positive · AI labelView post →Just finished my replay of case 1 from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Holy shit it was as good as I remember. Still my fav first case in the series. The back and forth of Phoenix and Kristoph was so good. Knowing details you learn later added a lot too. I missed this game and I still love it

neutral · AI labelView post →After nearly a 100 hours of this trilogy, I finished it, experienced the good, the bad and the ugly. This franchise is probably the one franchise I actually got invested into heavily. When I got the first trilogy in June of 2025 I never expected the franchise to be as good as it is. At the time of writing this review, I finished the mainline series and the first half of Investigations Collections, I can't wait to get to the other games but I know I will be sad when I finally finish all games in…

neutral · AI labelView post →Phoenix Wright, You are all I think about. You are all that I dream about. I see us, together. Without you as my sun, my world is a dark and lonely void. If we had a star for every time you crossed my mind, there would be a galaxy above us. And I would give it all to you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Starting the Apollo Justice game and wow he’s so snarky I love it ❤️😭
positive · AI labelView post →If you're wondering where me being a loud hypeman came from, the answer is literally Apollo Justice. I played that game as a kid and grafted his personality on mine
neutral · AI labelView post →It's kinda wild to think how Apollo Justice is not even the focus of his own game or the trilogy retroactively named after him.
neutral · AI labelView post →I have been playing Apollo Justice but not commenting about it because I'm LOCKED IN every time I open that game. Such a mf good game
positive · AI labelView post →After putting this trilogy off for a while, I finally got to finishing it. So let's talk about each of the games. Apollo Justice is the starting one and the controversial one too because of Hobo Phoenix, however, I personally liked that shift and it was nice seeing Phoenix evolve into a more complex, mature person (in hindsight, it's a huge shame they completely destroy this character development). Apollo was alright, and Gavin was fun but an alright prosecutor at best. The whole "Jury"…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's more Ace Attorney. Maybe not as good as the first trilogy but still very very good. About 100 hours of fun and suspense, what else does one want from a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I do recommend these games to anyone that liked the original triolgy purely for the sake of having played the games and completed the series, this trilogy is deeply flawed. The characters are more cartoonish and often come off as being imitations of the origina cast, instead of being their own geniune product. The relationships between the characters feel cheap as well, often being one-dimensional or non-existant. This is present among the main cast to a degree, but it's especially…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My next VN game that im interested in is Hundred Line Defense, cuz ngl it being the new longest VN in history is kinda crazy. But the game is a bit expensive.... so im just gonna continue to Apollo Justice
neutral · AI labelView post →Not as good as the first trilogy, but still have some fun cases (and sadly lot of filler).

positive · AI labelView post →mmmm lawyer yaoi.....
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the Ace Attorney trilogies; I'm playing through the Apollo Justice trilogy right now and thats about 19gb. Perfect on the steam deck. Stardew Valley is under 1gb and is also perfect on Steam Deck. Or Core Keeper is only 1.1gb, for a more crafty less RPG vibe. Also worth remembering of course, you can use SD cards to expand the space on your Steam Deck, and swap SD cards out as much as you want. So if you have intermittent internet as you imply elsewhere here, loading up games…
neutral · AI labelView post →Ace attorney 4 is probably one of if not the best games in the franchise, and if you don't have access to a DS or something like that to play it on, and for some reason you don't want to use a literally free emulator, then maybe this is worth it for just that game alone. But you also get the absolute slop that is the other two games, which I would rather sleep on hot coals for the rest of my life than play through those games again. You would think that after 5 entries that they would be able…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoyed the original Ace Attorney Trilogy, you will probably enjoy this as well, though it is perhaps not quite as good. I love seeing Phoenix's dynamic with Trucy and Edgeworth.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im not gonna lie i pretty much only got this to play apollo justice i think it's just me but i literally cant get into dual destiny/spirit of justice no matter how much i try to force myself, it just feels like a completely different series though, apollo justice is just as peak as the original phoenix wright trilogy therefore it's worth getting this just to play that if anything

neutral · AI labelView post →12. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney This game is a lot of things and I like it specifically for taking risks & trying to push the series in a new direction, but I'll never not be disappointed that the "Apollo Justice Trilogy" doesn't really exist, at least not in relation to the plotlines in this game.
