Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

Ace Attorney Investigations is the most unique game in the series, with players taking on the role of ace prosecutor Miles Edgeworth rather than a defense lawyer. As a result, the gameplay deviates slightly from the standard, and while the game does have a continuous storyline, each case is essentially self-contained. The game is about examining crime scenes and is primarily shown in the third person. Players guide Edgeworth around each crime scene, seeking evidence and interviewing witnesses to figure out what happened.

An ability known as "deduction" helps you to identify discrepancies between what is observed at a crime scene and the evidence. Following that, you begin the rebuttal phase, in which a witness or opposing character describes what happened, and you must point out any contradictions or flaws with their evidence. It was undoubtedly unique for an Ace Attorney game, but it just didn't stand up to the rest of the series. The focus on investigations this time around was lacking the courtroom drama that made the Ace Attorney games so memorable. While Miles Edgeworth still had some interesting characters and plot twists, it seemed like it was missing a key component of an Ace Attorney game.
