In the entirety of the game I never got stuck once! Only with the DLC case did I get a game over. While I can applaud the disappearance of the frustrating old gameplay, the fact is that the new gameplay has NO difficulty. You're told when you've completed an interrogation and where to go next, often even teleported there. In every instance of the game, you're told what to do.
While the older games got frustrating often with poor logic or a case of "press/present/examine everything to move on", here they evacuated those issues by simply putting everything on autopilot. And the game isn't very much older than DD! The difficulty is doubtlessly the biggest issue of DD: there is none. I could just call DD a victim of "they don't make them like how they used to" syndrome, but I played Miles Edgeworth 2 right before DD, and the writing quality and difficulty were far higher. There are many moments where good writing is suddenly supplanted by "now we're gonna explain to you what we just told you, in case you needed clarification". However the characters aren't as over the top as they once were and the writing gets a little too "for kids" to my taste. Cases like Turnabout Samurai and its endless backtracking, Turnabout Serenade and its general awfulness, and the other famously meh cases simply don't exist here. Now I must sound like a broken record by now for having said it at least once for every case, but there isn't any "bad apple" here. DLC Case: Excellent case, possibly the one I enjoyed the most, due to it having more difficulty than the others. Easily a good case, but not to the level of the final cases of any of the original trilogy or Investigations 1 or 2 IMO. I liked them both, the latter especially, and its twists were interesting despite having been somewhat spoiled for me. As usual the last cases are the most complex and the longest, and probably the best cases in the game. Case 4 & 5: I take them as two since they're intertwined, just like the last two cases of ME Investigations 2. And just like the prior cases nothing ever really goes wrong in this case. I guess people like it because it's the most "emotional" case with Athena's childhood friend being the defendant, and yes I did like her, but nothing amazing.the characters were probably the most over-the-top here though, apart from Yuri Cosmos in case 4. Turnabout Academy isn't horrible, but its final twist is a bit silly because it comes off as a cheap last-minute element that should've been cleared long ago. Case 3: I was told it's the bestest case ever, and uh no. It was just poorly exploited IMO, you could have gone with far more extreme-looking characters, and it never really goes crazy. AA has made some great moments with circuses, magicians, and a lot of occult side dish, but the whole youkai thing was bleh. It's not as bad because the villain is painfully obvious and the real fun is push him to admit his guilt, but still.in any case, the case's charm is sort of lost on me. Apart from that, it's quite nice, it's the tutorial case and it introduces Athena as a character and her mood matrix gimmick well. Apart from that, it's No spoilers review: Case 1: They make the HUGE mistake of showing the face of the villain in the intro cutscene.

I only have PW meets PL and Spirit of Justice left to play, so hopefully they can come out with another game before I finish those! (a Switch Ace Attorney would be lit) … Expand
#PHOENIX WRIGHT ACE ATTORNEY DUAL DESTINIES ROM SERIES#
One of the best games in the series and I'm sure there's more to come. I actually didn't expect the ending to this game (in the other games the end is kind of predictable).
Overall, great game, great story in this game, and I really enjoyed every episode (unlike some of the other games). They even added a little checklist thing so you don't have to rely on a walkthrough if you get stuck (I try not to use it too much so it's not like handholding). Simon Blackquill is chill af and Athena's powers are very cool. Ace Attorney series is one game that can introduce new characters without ruining everything. I was hesitant about Apollo when he was introduced in his game, but by the end of the game, I loved him. I have made sure to play all the games in order (AA, JFA, T&T, Investigations, Apollo Justice, Investigations 2, and now this one.) Next I will be playing PW meets Layton which I'm sure will be good. I have made sure to play all the games in order (AA, JFA, T&T, Investigations, Apollo Justice, What can I say? I love this game.
