Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
The Phoenix Wright series has been hugely influential in the development of the visual novel genre, and the original trilogy still remains some of the best out there.
If you’re unfamiliar, Phoenix Wright focuses on a young defense attorney of the same name, who has the uncanny ability of turning around cases that seem like done deals. Phoenix constantly proves his clients innocent, despite all odds being against him.
Each Phoenix Wright game is separated into four different cases that all follow the same structure; you start out by meeting the defendant, examing the crime scene, finding evidence, and talking to witnesses.
Then things get really interesting when you go to the courtroom and have to press witnesses, present evidence, and point out contradictions.
Part of what makes Phoenix Wright so great is its phenomenal writing and character animations, which both make it feel like some kind of absurd courtroom anime. There are some great character development and surprising twists, and you’ll quickly come to love Phoenix and his pals.
