Nintendo-Town

Ace Attorney 4, 5 et 6 avec tous les DLC en un titre
Dual Destinies et Spirit of Justice traduits pour la 1ère fois !
Une traduction de bonne facture, référence culturelle et jeux de mots
Le musée très garni en bonus
L?écran titre très séduisant
Un travail HD et 3D haut en couleurs, de très belles cinématiques
Un gameplay d?une richesse rare dans le genre
Le tactile disponible en mode portable
Durée de vie gigantesque, quelques bonus à débloquer
L?arc Apollo Justice de bonne facture, un final intense !
Athena Cykes et Jack Lamenoire, nouveau duo charismatique
3 OST de très haute qualité
Doublé en français
Une nouvelle trilogie Ace Attorney accessible à tous !

Y en aura toujours pour défendre le charme de la 2D illustrée
La 3D stéréoscopique manque quand même?
Les subtilités de gameplay inégalement mises en avant
Les tout petits boutons à toucher en mode portable pour le tactile
Moins de sanction, plus de facilité, moins de game over
Un arc avec une écriture inégale, moins maîtrisé que le 1-2-3
Quelques affaires inutiles
Des nouveaux personnages qui deviennent vite transparents
On aurait aimé des arrangements sur l?OST d?Apollo Justice
Un nouveau doublage français avec un casting pas très convaincant

XBoxEra

Unique mysteries that are fun to solve with dramatic, over-the-top characters.
Fun characters that bounce off one-another well and will make you smile.
'Apollo Justice' and 'Spirits of Justice' offer unique perspectives to the 'Ace Attorney' series.
Collection is packed to the brim with goodies---concept art, music, galleries, and more.

'Dual Destinies' is a long, boring slog that sheds everything its predecessor built up.
The right answer might not be the right choice at the right time, making for some minor frustrations.
Pacing issues.

GameReactor

More than 80 hours of funny and touching storytelling. Sharp dialogue. New gameplay mechanics are (mostly) fun. More intuitive to play than the older games. Less pixel hunting. Charming presentation and soundtrack.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney isn't as good as the later games. The extras are disappointing. Slightly sloppy remastering at times.

GamingBolt

Some bold narrative choices in these games
some great new gameplay additions in the later games
some of the best cases in the series are in these games, especially Dual Destinies
the upscaling to HD is great, and all the new bonus content and QoL perks are excellent.

These three games lack narrative or mechanical cohesion
the narrative in later games, especially Spirit of Justice, starts to feel increasingly contrived in some ways
some minor tradeoffs have had to be made to bring these games over from dual-screened systems to modern hardware.

Smooth and HD graphics that hit the mark, even on PS5.
A gallery of characters, each one more crazy than the other.
A humor that is always so omnipresent.
Always fascinating investigations.
A colossal lifespan and the addition of some very nice little bonuses.

A structure inherent to the game that is somewhat redundant.
