Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice



The sixth main entry of Ace Attorney brings us towards the home country of spirit channeling, Khurain, where a new gameplay and plot feature also marks it’s debut; Divination Séances , where ritual dances share with us the final memories of fallen victims.

Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice is a tad better than the previous entry and stands quite strong in overall, and it also marks the series’s 15th anniversary.

Beloved characters like Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey return together finally, and Apollo Justice is now for the first time as deep as a character as them, for the central story focuses about him.

The 5 cases are all qualified with entertainment in their forms of variety, wacky characters, plot twists and of course the famous turnabout turnouts.

Athena Cykes and Ema Skye also return as fan favorites, and the new prosecutor Nahyuta Sahdmadhi is at first very foreign, but becomes likable in the end. My favorite case is probably the third which felt predictable at first, but ended unexpectedly.

Spirit of Justice is a good continuation of the overall series, providing character development and background info that fans wanted out of Apollo Justice. While it's occult and spiritual themes might feel divisive, the courtroom drama is still solid and entertaining.

Rating: 8.3
