Never played any of theses games. Would this be a good jumping on point in the series?
Yep! This is a self contained game so you’re good to go. I recommend watching it again if you are!
Definitely. They have good characters, superb story and music and is a perfect introduction to the series, with some modern touches in the investigation and trial sections.
I think this would be a great place to start. That said, I’d like to add a small caveat: if you get through both of these games and want to check out the rest of the series, the original Phoenix Wright trilogy may feel like quite a step down in terms of both graphics and general gameplay. But don’t let that discourage you! The first three games are still fantastic (ESPECIALLY Trials and Tribulations), and after you get past those and the highly underrated Apollo Justice, then Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice will feel more like more familiar territory, being closer in line with these two. While I haven’t yet started these two new games yet, I am a veteran of the main series, and each one of the games is worth playing IMO.
Phoenix wright trilogy hd is the best place imho
Happy to see that the series is finally back in full swing. I hope that this means more games are coming. And maybe just maybe this also means that a certain gentleman could make a comeback in the future.
I hope more people try it out! I might make a follow up video to this in the coming week or so
Too many games on the backlog! Ahh! This does look incredible, I’ll admit! I think I’ll end up picking it up in the future. I’ll probably play some of the ones I own first I think but I’m excited for this one. Awesome review, Alex!!!
Thank you! It's definitely a must play! Might be my go-to VN that I'll recommend to newcomers to the genre moving forward!
Wonderful review! You've really said all the things that I love about the AA games. Currently on Case 4 of the first game and I'm really loving it so far. Personally, I do think that the story beats are similar to the PW trilogy but GAA manages to make it completely different and the cast are all amazing to interact with!
I love Soseki! And I agree with you. Sometimes it’s all about what you do with the same story beats that matter!
Amazing review as always!
I'm so hyped for this game. It's my most anticipated release this year (along Lost Jugdement). I'm so happy to get confirmation that the the games are great! 🤩
It's well worth it! I was really invested in the storytelling and the overarching narrative. Probably the best in the series' history!
Phenomenal review as always
Thanks so much!
Another wonderful and informative review Alex! I love the Ace Attorney games and was so exited when this was announced. I’ve only played for a couple hours but really enjoying it. Here’s hoping for a remake of Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations, please Capcom!
That would be great! More games in the series would be fantastic!
While I'm not super far into the game yet, I am absolutely loving GAA thus far! The presentation is the best the series has seen, and the style and panache of the deduction scenes is an absolute treat.
I feel like these are going to be games I'm going to be revisiting again and again, just like the original trilogy
I agree with that! I might want a break though so I can forget the solutions lol
@@BacklogBattle I always love re-playing an AA game when the memory is just hazy enough. That way, when I figure it out again, I'm like "ohhhh yeeeah! That was it!" xD
the editing on this video is amazing
Thank you so much! It's not often that I get a comment about the editing!
Hope you reach sucess Alex, you're one of the best review channels on CZcams, you deserve it.
I wanted to ask you if you're planning on review Fuga: Melodies of Steel. Interested in hearing your thoughts.
Have a nice Monday.
Hello! Unfortunately I didn't receive a key for it and I'm thinking of moving on to play Neo: TWEWY. I heard some really, really good things about it though!
@@BacklogBattle Oh damn, that sucks. I'll be here anyway watching your reviews.
Glad to see this game getting all the love it has long since deserved. Totally worth the wait on its localization.
Agreed! Such great work all around in this game! Masterpiece!
This was a fantastic review, and i will be looking forward to getting the game
Awesome! Looking forward to reading what you think of it!
will get to this after playing some of the other games but hearing how positive you are about this game i cant wait to get around to it sounds like they did a great job brining this over to the west
It really is a treat from start to finish! It helps that it's a fully self-contained duology!
Great review! It helped me consider since have never played ace attorney games. What would you recommend I start first? Chronicles or Phoenix wright trilogy? Also what do you like more.
Chronicles, hands down! I love this a ton more! Pacing's better, and you can play it on a bigger screen! Chronicles also has the advantage of having every element of its design be more refined thanks to years of experimentation, so absolutely this game!
@@BacklogBattle Thats good to hear. Thank you so much for your review and reply. Will check this game out as I order Samurai Warriors 5 with it.
I was happy to see your Review popping up in my Subscriptions. I wasn’t sure to give it a go but you sold me! Edit: Really good reviews thanks to you i found a few games i never would have played otherwise. Really hope you get a boost in views and subscribers soon.
Thanks! Help spread the word of the review (and maybe others?) and we'll get there!
@@BacklogBattle Sadly i don’t have friends who are in video games or at least in anything else as shooters and racing games lol. I still wish you good luck. My first ever review from you was Atelier Ryza :P
I’ve always going AA games strange but your review making me wanna give them another try.
It’s a good bit of reading, but the story is really, really good!
Great review! I'm excited to play this game. There's a uniqueness to phoenix wright that is super charming and I can wait to see the characters that the great ace attorney chronicles has.
Are you picking it up soon? It’s really really good!
@@BacklogBattle I've already bought it but I'm savoring NEO TWEWY right now. Ace is the next one on the list~
Great content as always
Thank you so much!
I am such a huge fan of VNs, im a little hesitant to get it because ive never played an ace attorney game before. Seeing this review though, is really making me want to get it lol.
It’s the best game to get if you’ve never played games in the series! The story is self contained and the games represent the most modern iteration of the series
To any newcomers who are gonna play this... you are in for a ride.
I may give Ace Attorney another chance starting with this game.
I'm loving many things from what I'm hearing from this review!
I still think about it after I beat it! Such a fantastic story and great characters!
I got this in the mail yesterday! I’ve been playing Neo: The World Ends With You, and I still haven’t gotten around to finishing Spirit of Justice, so I’m holding myself back from starting it just yet. However, I’m leaving town for a week with the family and bringing my PS4 just wouldn’t be practical, so I’ll be taking Ace Attorney along then :) It’s so exciting getting not only one but TWO new Ace Attorney games over here after such a long drought! I’m so excited! And here’s hoping this pushes Capcom to fast-track Ace Attorney 7 :D
Edit: I just realized my naming different consoles for the different games may not make much sense. I have TWEWY on my PS4 and Ace Attorney Chronicles on my Switch ^^
Hope you enjoy The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on the Switch! It looks incredible, regardless of what platform it's on! Next is Neo: The World Ends With You for me!
@@BacklogBattle Awesome! I really hope you like it. I’m still not terrible far into it yet, but so far for me, it’s a more than worthy successor to the original. I love the characters, and the gameplay has been expanded on so much that is kinda makes the first game seem too simple by comparison. All the new gameplay features feel right at home, so much so that I’ve been neglecting the story to grind out a whole bunch of side content lol
Never played any game in the series, adding to my backlog right now. Just started the download on PS Store.
I think you’ll enjoy it! Let me know if you tried it out!
I need to finish second AA game on the DS. I've been meaning to go back but never got around to it, maybe this game being out this will give me a reason to continue.
There's always the option of starting this! It's not connected to the main series!
You’ve got a lot of great games ahead of you! I really enjoyed the first game a lot, and then I loved what they did with Justice For All, but Trials and Tribulations blew them both out of the water. Whether you decide to continue that or start Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, I know you’ll have a great time!
sherlock holmes feels weird to say after playing this game now
And yet he’s a perfectly legit character since he’s shown up in a novel before this game 😉
@@BacklogBattle Good old Maurice Leblanc lol
I also just wanted to comment on the fact that the main character’s name is “Naruhodo”. I love the puns in these games so much lol. I’m glad they didn’t change his name during localization; it matches the idea of him coming from Japan and bringing his skills and intellect over to the west.
(For those wondering, なるほど “naruhodo” basically means like “ah, I see…” as someone might typically say in response to a person explaining something to them or upon observing something interesting.)
Yea, Janet Hsu addressed that in a post on the PlayStation blog and on Capcom Unity. There’s a lot of localization notes about the game across those two places
@@BacklogBattle Interesting!
I recently bought this game and I wanted to see your thoughts on it and it looks like i am in for a ride so exited
You definitely are! I hope you enjoy it a ton!
@@BacklogBattle I finished the first episode and it was so awesome can’t wait to meet the great detective
Alex, your vocabulary and eloquence are exceptional! I feel cleverer just listening to you!
Ahh, thank you so much! This is such a good compliment!
I've never played An Ace Attorney game but I played all danganronpa games and I gotta say it look great, especially the "trials"
I think you'll love this game then! It's one of the must play VNs in my opinion, which includes Danganronpa and Zero Escape!
I didn’t get around to Ace Attorney for a long while, myself. I started with Zero Escape, and then I played Danganronpa off the recommendation of an acquaintance. After hearing for so long about how Ace Attorney is like Danganronpa, just without the hyperviolence and killing games, I finally bought the trilogy off the 3DS e-shop (it’s also available on PS4 now too if that’s your jam). I’ve since torn through almost the entire main series and I’m now a huge fan of all three - Zero Escape, Danganronpa, and Ace Attorney. Highly recommend!
If you find yourself enjoying the series, I also have to mention Murder by Numbers (a game Alex also reviewed on this channel a while back). It’s very similar to Ace Attorney in structure, except instead of trials, it has picross puzzles throughout each chapter.
@@Road_to_Dawn Now I definitely wanna try those 3 series each one look pretty unique in it's own way
