Just finished it myself. As is the trend, the last case is just amazing. Spoiler about 'mothers'I thought the whole 'mother' thing was kind of unnecessary I think (especially compared to the previous 'mother'), but it was still a nice touch. In that sense, it would have been kind of nice to see the 3 of them together, but perhaps it can be saved for another game.

Apollo Justice does stand alone and doesn't spoil anything from prior games. It's definitely worthwhile to play all the previous games, though you don't really have to postpone playing Apollo Justice to play them. The game itself did well. My 2nd favourite overall game in the series, behind the 3rd one. Though the last case in the 2nd game is still my favourite individual case.

Gavin spoilersKristoph! Good god. I was getting 'Light Yagami' of Death Note type vibes from him from the first case, but seeing everything come together was something else. THE DEVIL indeed.

I kinda wanted to do another 'character ranking' thing for who your favourite Ace Attorney Girl was, but I don't think I'd be able to compile my own numbered list. 'Lamiroir' would be pretty high though.
