There's never been a better time to get into Ace Attorney. Developer-publisher Capcom has spent the last few years remastering and re-releasing every game in the series, and with the Apollo Justice trilogy, you can now play every mainline game on modern consoles. And even though the three games in this collection are unchanged story-wise, after going hands-on, we can comfortably say that they've never felt better.
The collection contains three games: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice – alongside their respective DLCs. The games don't really feel like a cohesive trilogy the way the first three in the series do, but you still need to play them in order. And while Apollo's name is only in one of the titles, he's a central, playable character in every game.
As mentioned above, these games are remastered, not remade, so if you've played them in their previous forms, you've more or less got an idea of what to expect. The main audience for the collection is either people who didn't get a chance to play these games on other platforms or people who want to revisit them with new graphics and quality-of-life features. In addition to a revamped UI, the game features an auto-advance setting, which automatically scrolls through text, no button mashing required. Personally, this is a huge highlight for me, and since you can use the History button to catch up on any text you accidentally missed, it's my go-to playstyle – especially if I'm eating or doing something else with my hands. For those that want even less input, there's also a Story Mode, which automatically progresses through the entire story, even solving puzzles and investigating.
