What’s the Best Ace Attorney Game of All Time?

What is the very best Ace Attorney game of all time? This beloved visual novel/puzzle-like investigative series is both hilarious and emotional. Each case has the potential to surprise and delight. But with more than 10 games in existence across the mainline experiences and spin-offs, it can be tough to recommend the best overall game.

But here is what the Siliconera staff has come up with regarding the best Ace Attorney game of all time. Did the recent Ace Attorney Investigations Collection: Miles Edgeworth make the list?

Siliconera Speaks Up: Best Ace Attorney Game

While this entire series is one of my favorites in gaming, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a must-play for fans. Though this pack is, technically, two games in one, they feel so complete and well-rounded in a way no other Ace Attorney game feels. The presentation, historical setting, and wild cases are all at peak quality. While I usually hate one or two cases per game, almost none of these are filler or worthless. As for a runner-up, I’d have to give it to Apollo Justice. The music is by far the best in the series with this one. — Cody

Cody already mentioned it, but The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles hands-down is the best entry in the series. The characters, story, music, and overall quality of the game are absolutely top tier, even when they were working with pennies as a budget in the second one. I have a soft spot for AA2 since that was the first Ace Attorney game I ever played, but if I have to name a game that’s not TGAA, then definitely, AA3. As a kid, I straight up did not realize I was playing peak. For goodness’ sake, Little Stephanie was such an idiot, she didn’t even understand Godot’s appeal! I’m so glad Capcom remastered the original trilogy so that I could finally understand why everyone around me was so Godotpilled. — Stephanie

While I love the original trilogy to bits, I’ve never had as much fun with the series as with Ace Attorney Investigations. Being able to finally play as Edgeworth and have Ace Detective Dick Gumshoe as your sidekick was well worth the wait. The new collection for both Investigations titles couldn’t have come out at a better time. — Daniel
