Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles continues Capcom’s illustrious legacy of gay lawyer games. While I find GAAC to be a much more mature game than its predecessors, it remains a melodrama at its core. There are tons of hilarious and heartwarming character moments, whether our protagonist is arguing with a disdainful prosecutor, analyzing clues with his assistant, or fixing a great detective’s deductions. Even the one-off witnesses and jurors are delightful. By virtue of being a whodunnit game, GAAC has some of the most complex characters in this year’s lineup of narrative-focused titles. – Sisi Jiang
