Ace Attorney Investigations Collection review - Capcom's weakest legal mysteries get the strongest glow-up yet
One of Capcom's most handsome Ace Attorney remasters to date, but divorcing it from its courtroom setting and structure is its biggest and most fatal flaw.
Ruthless villain, reluctant colleague and eventual friend and confidante, Miles Edgeworth has played many roles in Capcom's Ace Attorney series over the years, and with the fresh excavation of his Nintendo DS-era Investigations spin-offs, he can also add budding detective and even associate defence lawyer to the list as well. These larger, more fully-formed environments also allow Edgeworth to indulge in something that Phoenix Wright has never quite managed to put his waggling finger on - actual, honest to goodness deductions that are based on observations and lingering questions about a scene, that don't easily fall into the bucket of traditional hard evidence. It's incredibly vague, and picking the wrong option not only feels overly punitive in the way it takes great chunks out of your constantly ticking down time bar, but you're also forced to run through the entire sequence from the beginning again, leading to increasingly circular conversations that will have you reaching for the fast forward button.
