Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy Reviews
My love of this series remains as strong as ever almost 20 years after playing the original Ace Attorney game. Being able to have the entire mainline series on Switch is such an amazing thing to have. The three games in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy are strong. Although admittedly Dual Destinies suffers from its split focus on a trio of protagonists, there isn’t a truly weak game in the bunch. With solid quality of life improvements, a faithful retelling of the original stories, and the same engrossing, thoughtful gameplay the series is known for, this compilation is a genuine delight. Some of the negative design quirks of the originals remain, like clunky world navigation, but the positives of the Ace Attorney series far outweigh them. This is a must for fans of narrative-driven games who want a more cerebral experience.
An amazing game and two good to passable games, that nevertheless retain the series' signature zany characters, amazing music and unpredictable plots, with enough quality-of-life improvements and bonus content to make this the best way to experience this part of the saga.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a worthy successor to the Phoenix Wright Trilogy released in 2019. It contains all of the same basic upgrades and improvements, and it finally means that the entire franchise - minus the Edgeworth games - can now be played on one system. The overall quality is similar, with the somewhat weak Apollo Justice being followed up by some of the finest Ace Attorney has to offer. It doesn't really matter if you're a newcomer or a long-tie fan; if you like turnabout cases and back-and-forth courtroom drama, this trilogy has you covered.
While it can be jarring jumping from 2D animation into 3D, all three games tie into each other pretty well and offer a fun experience for both old and new fans.
If you already finished the Phoenix trilogy and have been eager for more, don't hesitate to dive into the Apollo trilogy. For some, the petition to get the two Ace Attorney Investigations titles and the Phoenix Wright crossover with Professor Layton will now begin in earnest. For me, I'm still trying to find times in my everyday life where I can shout "OBJECTION!".
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy brings three great games to modern platforms that, as a whole, set up an incredible story that any player should enjoy. The current trilogy, mainly, is a testament to the evolution of the series between different platforms and technologies and also how the main pillars of its formation, story, characters and incredible cases remain strong to the present moment.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a faithful port from handheld to console, which boasts new quality-of-life features, graphical enhancements and, of course, fun courtroom battle gameplay. Much like the Resident Evil series of late, you can tell CAPCOM loves to give their games the royal treatment when it comes to remasters and ports. This is well worth your money if you love whodunit stories.
To all fans of this series, I wholeheartedly recommend this collection. The level of quality invested here is noticeable, and the rescue of titles now lost due to the death of the Nintendo 3DS eShop must always be acknowledged. Talking specifically about Apollo Justice, the quality of the series remains the same, and it is worth it as a continuation of a trilogy as tender and beloved as the previous one, with simple but moving tributes. Even though the other titles don't reach the level of quality of Shu Takumi, I believe the experience is still worth every second.

The Apollo Justice collection encapsulates all the lack of focus and desperate search for a path that the series has gone through after its initial three games. At the same time, it brings at least one great game to the series.

We can finally applaud the fact that the entire Ace Attorney series is now available on modern platforms, with the exception of Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney and Miles Edgeworth Investigations games. And for €49.99 new players really get incredible value for money. Unfortunately, historical fans of the series only receive small bonuses, which at the moment do not justify a new purchase. Let's hope that Capcom redeems itself soon with a new chapter, since this trilogy, despite over 80 hours of content, leaves us eager to take on the role of our favorite investigative lawyer again!

"The Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy successfully achieves its goal as a collection, making the three most recent numbered Ace Attorney games accessible to a new audience. All three titles are now available in their best form ever, all in one convenient place. Despite some minor issues, the Ace Attorney series continues to bring a smile to your face. Each game in the collection is excellent and well worth purchasing. I believe this is enough for a favorable verdict. Court is adjourned, Your Honor!"

"Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy" is a robust package that offers a fantastic blend of detective and legal drama.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a worthy successor to a beloved original that proudly and successfully carries the Ace Attorney torch. Plus, this new release is a great package, jammed full of content, extras, and quality of life features that make it the best way to experience the Apollo Justice trilogy. While I think Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy could have been even better with a stronger commitment to developing its characters and ideas, it’s still great fun and something I can’t imagine an Ace Attorney fan or fan of mystery games in general wouldn’t enjoy.
If you have a lot of free time and like good mysteries, look no further - Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy has a plethora of content that will put your deduction, logic and reasoning skills to the test. If you're already a fan of the series, you'll always be able to relive the best moments of these three games with superior graphical quality, while we wait for Capcom to announce a new entry in the series.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a fine collection of games that surely merits a purchase for any gamer who wants to be challenged in terms of their analytical skills and enjoy some exciting courtroom drama, which the Ace Attorney series offers in spades. For that, we have no objections! Newcomers don’t need to worry too much about starting their attorney journey with Apollo Justice, as the collection is strong enough to be an ideal entry point for a new protagonist in the series. You won’t need to know Phoenix Wright’s long history as an attorney, as the games present just enough information to let you know who he is, and it could serve as a reason to revisit the past titles, which are also available in compilations.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy is a triumph that accomplishes everything it set out to do, presenting three outstanding games to modern consoles in their most accessible form yet. With an abundance of improvements and offerings for both veteran players and newcomers to enjoy, it's never been easier or more enjoyable to experience Apollo Justice's journey. When it comes to this case, I have no objections, Your Honour.
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy features three great games that have been remastered for current-gen systems. It is from the visual novel genre, but the stories are engaging for most gamers to be interested. A must play for those that like to experience something different.
