Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a remake of the original Nintendo DS puzzle-solving mystery game, with the literary style and vintage atmosphere of the Ace Attorney series. It's great to see it expanding to more platforms.
When it comes to the Ace Attorney series, I feel like I'm the odd one out. I've played them, and while the actual cases were enjoyable, I hated the detective aspect of things because it detracted from the whole experience. Each case began with a search for clues at the crime scene taking a lot of steps and travelling back and forth to find a handful of hints. No skill or puzzle aspect to it; just talk to one person, then go talk to another, who sends you back to the first.
