一真有点无聊，二回收伏笔根本停不下来

Just finished this duology, and man was it a fantastic ride. After playing both the trilogies (have yet to play the investigation games, it's in my backlog) i can say these are definitely in my top 5 favourite Ace Attorney games, and definitely up there in my favourite games of all time, of course that doesn't mean these games are flawless, no game is, but overall it was ABSOLUTE, CINEMA! Let's start with the bad things first to get my criticism out of the way to end this review on a good note. -Slow pacing i think these games suffer from the pacing for sure, of course the payoff is very much worth it, but id say certain cases (specifically 1-1, 1-4 and 2-2) felt like they were dragging a bit just to be long, and it felt like the mystery could have been solved much sooner which is not a good thing to feel during a playthrough of an Ace Attorney game. And i feel like splitting the game into 2 games MIGHT have been the reason, im not sure exactly. -The jury system execution was pretty meh I LOVE the idea of having a jury in an Ace Attorney game and i certainly hope we have a jury in Ace Attoeney 7, but the execution of it in these games left a lot to be desired, in my opinion. It made the cases more predictable, because to include it from the gameplay side you always know theres a time or two during the trial where the jury does an ass pull and claims that the defendant actually is guilty asf and the previous 30 minutes of Ryuonosuke literally building a solid case was pointless to the jury because The prosecution "destroyed" the defences case in 2 statements. I think if we do have a juey in the next Ace Atrorney game (which hopefully) they will have to do it in a WHOLEEE different way, not sure how, but i'm sure they can make it more fun. Okay, now to the good things, and boy is there a lot to say here! -The characters The cast is fantastic, Barok van Zieks, as well as Ryunosuke, Kazuma, Sholmes, Susato, Iris, Stronghart and many other fabtastic characters are all amazing, even now after finishing the game i am already starting to miss them, i love how just like in the mainline games the cast feels like a family. -The plot I love the overall plot ad well, it reminds me the original deus ex in a lot of ways actually which i never expected, the large conspiracy going on between Japan and The United Kingdom, as well as the amount of manipilation from the main culprit (which i wont spoil, find out for yourself!) In a lot of ways reminded me of the grand conspiracy going on in deus ex, but this time, except playing as an agent with barley any emotion in him, we play as a lawyer who, with help of his friends, manages to bring the conspiracy down. -The music The soundtrack was fantastic as well, Barok van zieks theme, sholmes theme, as well as dance of deduction and Kazumas themes were my favourite pieces of music in this game, but the whole ost in general was fantastic. -the art style I LOVE the art style in these games, it's very manga/comic booky but at the same time fits the victorian era -Voice acting The voice acting work was amazing as well, each voice fits each character portrayed in my opinion. -Last but not least, this is an amazing example of how character development works, we start as a stressed out rookie who barley knows anything about the law and, throughout our journey we can see Ryuonosuke grow and mature into this highly intelligent and confident lawyer in the second game that is constantly aura farming. Overall 9 out of 10 Atrorney badges for these games, fantastic piece of gaming and i definitely recommend buying and trying it out for yourself at any price tag, whether it's on sale or you're just buying it for the normal price.
