    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice sees Phoenix in a brand new location: a courtroom situated in the Kingdom of Khura'in, origin of the Kurain Channeling Technique, where mysterious seance trials decide the fate of all defendants.

Both our heroes are joined by a host of returning friends and adversaries in their fight to bring about justice. Filled with puzzling mysteries to solve, a cast of memorable characters, and all new investigation techniques, this is one case you'll definitely want to take.

    All in all, this is a good return to form for a series that has been struggling with where to go since it attempted a protagonist switch. It hopefully goes without saying that if you enjoyed all of the other Ace Attorney games, you will enjoy this one. If you're new to the series, I definitely would not recommend starting here as it's somewhat steeped in its own lore. If, like me, you found Dual Destinies to be somewhat wanting, you might find Spirit of Justice scratches your itch a little better. The pacing is improved, there's a bit more challenge, and the characters make a lot more sense. If nothing else, its pun game is certainly on point. A good turn for Ace Attorney overall, and a smooth handling of what was becoming some very messy loose narrative threads.

    I certainly had no objections to playing through Spirit of Justice, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fans of the series. And to those who have never touched an Ace Attorney game before, I suggest that you start way back at the beginning. You won't regret it!

    WHOOOO! this is one of the best AA games EVER! as someone who loves worldbuilding, the Kingdom of Khura'in is one of the best fictionalWHOOOO! this is one of the best AA games EVER! as someone who loves worldbuilding, the Kingdom of Khura'in is one of the best fictional countries I've EVER seen, the only thing it's missing is a full conlang to go with it. nearly ever case is phenomenal, except case 4 which is a really strange outlier. but cases 5 and 3 are really the best. 1,2, and 6 are great too! but 5 and 3 are some of the best experiences I've had in an AA game. perfect emotional beats, memorable characters, incredible plot twist after incredible plot twist, this game is SO GOOD.
