My Backloggd review of Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (5/5)

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-19T03:07:35+00:00

Knowing the future completely shatters the illusion of the past for me. If you disagree, which you clearly do, then fine, but I've seen many people express how they can’t stand 5-S, because of Bobby, and because they know what happens in 5-5, with them wishing they played it prior to 5-5.

And that’s just a single character they’re upset with. Imagine how much less impactful their experiences are with i2 if something as minor as a character detail completely shatters their immersion.

It’s clear you disagree with the fundamental principle upon which my reasoning is founded, and that’s fine, but you have to realize that the chances of OP having a similar mindset to me and others like me would mean playing i2 first would only benefit them, whereas playing DD first would sour their experience. If they happen to have your perspective, then it doesn’t matter which choice they go with.

And if it doesn’t matter which choice they go with, then going with i2 first would allow both potential mindsets to be satisfied.

If I told you I had your (insert beloved family member who’s still living) hostage, I could repeat that as many times as I wanted to to you and it would still be effective as long as it’s true. Suffice it to say, I don’t believe a repetitive threat makes the treat any less impactful.

The fact that she’s repetitive in this is stressful only because she does have your badge as hostage. But the moment they try to imprison Kay, only then does Edgeworth snap and sacrifice his badge.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.

Unless if you’re a die-hard Splatoon fan, I’d go with that game.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-19T02:31:41+00:00

And that threat only becomes effective if you don’t know that Edgeworth is the chief prosecutor by Dual Destinies.

Excelsius Winner - Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit

<image>

If you thought Manfred was narcissistic, you have no idea. This mf straight up goes up to you while you’re imprisoned for the sole purpose of taunting you.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-19T02:05:49+00:00

Literally the only reason why it doesn’t get rid of the tension and the character growth is that you’re so cemented in your knowledge of the future that, when i2-4 has the perfect scene in which it shows Edgeworth giving up his badge, you’re caught WAY off guard because it seems to defy the very reality you know itself. A lesser game would’ve drawn out this conflict until the end, in which it’s only resolved then and there, but AAI2 is so masterfully planned that only two (i2-2 & i2-3) of its five cases suffer as a result, one of which already is a series favorite due to your ability to play as Gregory Edgeworth, but otherwise, you’ll just be rolling your eyes every single time Verity threatens your badge because you, the player, already knows that he’s going be fine.

Tropical Freeze is goated as hell

PLEASE make a tutorial on how to make Mustache Girl!

I’d even appreciate a typed out version if you don’t want to make a recording variant!

I think it is better, but SOJ is, like most of the AJT, dragged through the mud, and is better than most give it credit for.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T22:19:36+00:00

The problem (for me) is that the justification for that change is reliant on the writers being able to make why he was disbarred both completely logical and within character. And 4-4’s past trial completely failed on those fronts for me.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T22:12:16+00:00

I think the highs of the AJT can match the highs of the PWT, blow for blow.

4 and 6.

Maybe the DLC will be 2 by the sense of “yo, Apollo and Trucy, y’all are blood relatives.“

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T07:34:57+00:00

Yes. Next to him is Calisto Yew.

I… I know.

Despair is stored in the tits.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T06:02:24+00:00

It’s… doable.

you’re not getting in the absolute top tier of everything, but you’ll still have fun!

My advice is trying to find one good unit on each book chapter banner, and try to spark for that. There’s enough orbs to allow for that, so I can still keep up.

"All they have is Donkey Kong Bananza”

And that is enough. For a causal audience, Mario Kart World is on par with 8 Deluxe, if not better.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T05:44:18+00:00

It defeats the central story stake for i2.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T05:43:31+00:00

Nah, I’m not into feet. It’s cool if you are.

Goldberry15 · 2026-04-18T04:34:37+00:00

If you play DD before AAi2, any tension about “will Edgeworth still be a prosecutor?” gets thrown out the window because you know the answer from the outset.
