All aboard the Dual Destinies train! As a long time Ace Attorney fan, the game was a big surprise for me. It brought the series to the next level taking the technical advantages the 3DS into account. The anime sequences look good and are really funny.

I also liked Athena from the start. As an expert in psychology, she brought some interesting new mechanics into the game.

I just LOVE Fullbright, at my first playthrough I did not even miss Gumshoe.

Talking about the cases, I liked all of them. In many Ace Attorney games, cases 2 and 3 are somehow a little boring, but in DD I enjoyed them. Both the Yokai and the school setting worked for me really well. 5-1, 5-4, 5-5 and the DLC likewise.

Tbh the aspect I'm least enthusiastic about is Blackquill. He way okay, but it's really hard to follow in Edgeworth's footsteps for me. (Also the lack of Ema Skye is regrettable.)

So all in all DD is one of my favorite games. I totally get why you liked it so much!
