I was a huge fan of Proscecutor's Path, so Gambit is very welcome. Maybe not that much of a fan of some localization picks, but the graphical and gameplay choices are sublime. I will say that while I like that there's the choice of Story Mode, it really angered me when Slyzer used it for DGS. It's incredible, and both games have incredible visual moments. Like, the picture of the Yatagarasu was insane, and when it was recreated in Gambit? Buff... plus, Investigations' case 4 has some of the strongest casts in the franchise, Kay is my favourite assistant, and Palaeno is one of the best characters in the game on concept alone (And he STILL loses out to TB and CY). Plus, I was so happy with the massed development that Edgeworth (;)) and Gumshoe got on Gambit, especially towards the end. The music was killer, and sadly, like Ghost Trick, it was rearranged, but with the option to disable that we can all enjoy Trial and whatever Joking Motive is called in it's full glory. Will test that OST but I am not confident. Overall a killer installment. 9/10. Penny Nichols fit so well with the cast! I love returning characters.
Thanks, Scott! It’s always nice to see you in my comments section! I think the collection is definitely worth your time, you may get more into these two, who knows!
Almost 15 years. Oh man... (But yeah, _Investigations_ is great, and I love that they updated the graphics. It looks better than the first trilogy's "glow up.") The Storymode is nice, so people who just want the story and don't want to have to look up a guide can still see it with ease. _But also, Investigations 2 localized, at long last!!!_ It's nice they put care into these rereleases instead of just releasing them as-is.
Thanks, Eric! I’m definitely open to reviewing the anime in the future, but the games will be my priority. Until I can invest the time to write analyses to do the games justice, the anime will have to wait.
Not too happy on it. The games themselves are amazing of course but the collection side sucks. Feels underwhelming compared to ajt, less art and what we do got is more available online already. Also the fact we gotta play through the entire thing to unlock the sprite and image galleries is annoying as hell. Also missing basic things like a promotional collection or the abiiity to let sprites talk in the sprite viewer All in all I think it’s obvious that this was rushed as a side project behind the main package of Apollo justice trilogy. 8/10 tho cuz the games are fucking peak
What is really more important, a great graphical update (+ entirely new translations) or a larger number of artworks? I don't really understand how a slight lack of gallery contents could overshadow the highs of the collection. If there's something that deserves more complaints, it's the terrible performance on Switch.
