Ace Attorney Has a large and colorful cast of characters. Finding the right evidence to prove someone guilty is very exhilarating,with the soundtrack making it all the better. Recommended for those who like murder mysteries or point-and-click style games.

One of the best visual novels/games to get into if you're into the murder mystery genre. A lot of the characters are very goofy, but very likable and have great character development. The games require some thinking to advance the story at times, especially when in the court room. Let's put it this way, court may be seem boring to most people but this series makes courtrooms much more entertaining and personal.

With its fantastic humor, addictive gameplay and iconic style, it's hard to imagine anyone not enjoying their time with Phoenix Wright. Despite seeming episodic in nature, there are also plot points tying the cases together, making the journey feel worthwile and meaningful.

Straightforward, accessible and interactive murder mystery series.
u/baisuposter
Fun-to-solve murder mysteries with the tension and twists of an over-the-top courtroom drama. Highly accessible for beginners, iconic sound design and translated masterfully. Many titles have tried to recreate the magic of the AA formula for very good reason.
u/Neirik193
Great murder mysteries to solve and unlike other VNs that spoonfeed you the solution you actually have to figure it out yourself thanks to its gameplay sections. The characters are all unique and well written, and the over the top reactions you get out of then make Ace Attorney one of the most memorable series I've ever read.
