Ace Attorney Investigations Collection

investigations 1 is a pile of poop but prosecutor's gambit is wonderful. a great addition to the franchise with memorable characters and fun mysteries. i love playing as my pookie dookie schmoopy miles edgeworth

I may be exaggerating when I say these games changed my brain chemistry... or maybe not. To me, Investigations Collection is the greatest Ace Attorney game ever made! I started playing these games because I've always been curious about Miles Edgeworth. His personality and backstory was the most interesting aspect of the Phoenix Wright: Trilogy games. I was not disappointed with how they told his story! Miles Edgeworth just works as a main character, he just does. He's very interesting, he has great mini games like the logic deduction and the chess game match... and overall he just makes you feel like a super smart person. He's a complex character with a lot of conflict that is just so satisfying to witness. I also love the game mechanics these games have, which I find annoying how the creators of this franchise completely erased them from other games. The change to first point of view to third person throughout the entire duology is perfect and works better, in my opinion. I loved seeing Edgeworth and the characters he's interacting on screen (also the fact that several characters can be seen at the same time). Also! It is so cute and great to be able to walk and run around a scene. The artstyle is PEAK and no amount of good 3D artstyle would make up for it. The characters are perfect and they feel very satisfying in terms of plot. Everyone serves a purpose and everyone is connected (almost like all the characters in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy). Eddie is such a good addition to Edgeworth's complex family drama and Agent Lang is such a wonderful character that challenges Edgeworth the most. I have read that some people found the first game of this duology lacking. I honestly believe that it depends on what you like on a story. I found the first game to be as perfect as the second game of this duology. It is 10x better than the entirety of the Apollo Justice Trilogy, that's for sure. It definitely made me emotional at times. However, I do agree that, as all Ace Attorney games, there are moments that the cases drag out, but it is not that big of a concern, imo. Overall, these games were so good I played them while working at home (don't tell my boss pls) and I am officially an Edgeworth girlie. I would do anything for this man just to see him happy. I now need an Investigations 3 game with a special case where Phoenix becomes part of the crew and works with Edgeworth. I need them to be silly and gay for each other.... for research purposes only. 10/10!

I won't rest until I've inspected every suspicious-looking nook and cranny
