Ace Attorney: Investigations Collection is undoubtedly the best way to experience both Investigations games. Given how extensive it is, the new visual style is sure to divide, but both available options are a win for any fan, no matter how you paint it. While the first game has some pacing issues, the overarching story and case-by-case narratives are all gripping from beginning to end, making it one of the many Ace Attorney collections that are well worth your time.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection delivers some incredible experiences for fans of the series, with memorable characters, intriguing mysteries, twists and turns that you won't see coming, and gorgeous remastered visuals. While the second game is undoubtedly stronger than the first, both deliver some excellent adventures. Ace Attorney fans rejoice, for Miles Edgeworth's finest cases have finally made their way here.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection finally allows Western players to have access to the entire Ace Attorney saga, including Ace Attorney Investigations 2, the last spin-off to have remained unreleased in our parts so far, at least through official channels. And it's really a great thing, because it's one of the best chapters of the entire series in terms of writing.

As with the other remaster pieces, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection serves as the quintessential modern release for Miles Edgeworth's groovy justice adventures. More than deserving of a spot on the courtroom shelf for any Ace Attorney fan, or indeed any newcomer just climbing aboard this wild ride.

“Ace Attorney Investigations Collection” doesn't blow you away with the quality of the refresh, but considering that we get two games in the package, some 30 hours each, and the two previously could be played at most on an unofficial translation on an emulator if one doesn't know Japanese, I think it's still a tasty morsel for fans of the brand. And only for them.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection represents the culmination of years of work remastering the entire Ace Attorney series for modern consoles. The love and care can be felt throughout this compilation. While it isn’t perfect, whether it’s the reworked localization and its spelling errors, or some of the quirks of gameplay, these remain two incredibly strong adventure games nonetheless. They’re expertly designed, with gorgeous graphics, catchy music, and fun, engaging gameplay. The stories will keep most players guessing until the end, and those with knowledge of the Ace Attorney series will get the most from them. Definitely consider adding Investigations Collection to your Switch library.

Just like the previous compilations in the series, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is an awesome set for visual novel fans and mystery fans alike. The focus on actual investigations more than courtroom drama may throw some people for a loop, but it also shows off how well the series mechanics work. The logic puzzles are good, but the Mind Chess sections of the second game are a tad more exciting. Best of all, the characters and writing remain top-notch, while the various new quality-of-life elements make this one of the more approachable entries yet. While it would be nice to finally see a new entry in the series, it is good to know that at least this release means that anyone can experience all of the games in this series on one platform.

Seeing Edgeworth, Dick Gumshoe, and newcomer Kay Faraday have their time in the spotlight makes for a pleasant detour from the affable Apollo and charismatic Phoenix. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection also contains built-in achievements, a music collection, a handful of design documents, 20 save files, and the ability to switch between the original pixel art or the updated HD visuals. If you're a fan of the Ace Attorney series, you owe it to yourself to give the Investigations Collection a shot, just don't use a loaded gun or you'll have Mr. Edgeworth giving you the business.

The release of Ace Attorney Investigations Collection definitely made many fans of the series happy, including myself. This collection introduces many improvements and optimizations under the banner of Quality Of Life to these games, which will not only be pleasant for old fans, but also for the new audience. It just makes it easier and more accessible. Also, the gallery section of the game is very rich and will definitely be attractive to fans of the series. In general, we are facing a very valuable package of two great experiences.

With the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, we get the best "courtroom adventure" that impresses with an exciting story and challenging puzzles. Detective fans will definitely get their money's worth here. Newcomers are also very well catered for here, as the spin-off off convinces with its story and can captivate to the end with both games.

The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a great collection of games that is wildly different than the typical shooter or adventure. And also a great way for fans of the Ace Attorney series to experience an official localized version of Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit. This bundle offers a very lenghty experience, especially without a walkthrough. While entertaining, reading a game on TV isn’t ideal and not necessarily the best type of game for long gaming sessions. If you’re looking for something new and quirky, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection is a must play
