Aviary Attorney

This is the best Ace Attorney I've ever played.
Obvious joke aside, this really is spectacular outing in the adventure-lawyer genre. You really feel like there's a chance at failure instead of being forced along a narrative railroad, the jokes are great, and it even has multiple endings. It has a satisfying length with various branching content that will make a second play-through worth it if you choose to do so. Plus it has birds in suits and classical music, which you just can't beat.

Ace Attorney, but with French birds. Needless to say, I'm obsessed.

Would buy Aviary Attorney on sale ($8 or less). This game is obviously inspired by Phoenix Wright, but is captivating on its own right. You only have a certain number of moves during investigations, and you can miss important info before the investigation is over, making you enter a trial which is doomed from the start. Even better, the story continues on when you lose, and there are different story paths based on which route you're on. Compared to Ace Attorney, Aviary Attorney has a more melancholic and sad atmosphere with witty writing and a faster pace, all of which makes me appreciate the game. I really loved the third case especially, which is sad because the fourth case brought my enjoyment of the game down a lot — it's clear it was rushed to release the product and I lost interest in the story by then. Still overall a good experience though.
