The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles review-in-progress — Pace, attorney

I don’t know if I love murder mysteries. I think I just like justice stories. And that’s what is comforting and entertaining about the Ace Attorney world. You work hard to clear the innocent while exposing the guilty.

These games, where you play as a defense attorney representing a procession of clients charged with murder, have always made me happy. They’re whimsical and charming, even with all the, you know, killing and corpses and stuff. It always bothered me that some of the entries in the series never left Japan, including the two Great Ace Attorney games, a prequel duology set in Meiji Japan and Victorian England.
