So it's Sunday evening, you're laid back, chilling, yearning for those emotions video games make you feel, and you boot up this game, play for a dozen minutes and go: "Humm, this is just a regular shooter on a regular setting!" YOU'RE WRONG. A little bit about the story of this game; it takes place in a floating city named Columbia where crazy things happened and continue to happen and you, Booker Dewitt, are sent to retrieve a "package", cause you owe money through gambling and you need to pay back what you owe. The game looks like and feels like a normal First person shooter, where you move around shooting people, but no... I don't want to spoil too much but you have to play through at least halfway before you start getting a headache because your mind will literally be BLOWN to bits! And since the possibilities lore-wise are endless, so are they gameplay-wise. You can use Vigors that you drink then they provide you with convenient powers that you can use in battle. Set your foes on fire before blowing them to bits with your shotgun? Check! Lift your foes in the air, slap them back down on the floor, then lift them again and headshoot each and every one of them while they cry in pain? Check! Invoke watery hands that wrap around your foes and root them in place before you slash them to death with your signature Skyline Blade? Check! The combinations are endless. The story will take you where you do not want to go, a land filled with emotions and by the end of the game, you will cry... and feel utterly confused and helpless. The voice-acting is one of the best I've seen in a videogame and the characters are so well written, you cannot but help admire them, no matter how brutally evil they are... and like all other Bioshock games, this game will make you question your reality and beliefs in ways you did not think possible.

I'm through with the main game, but I've still got so much left to do. Welcome to Columbia, the land where a prophet has decreed, through thorough manipulative use of religion and politics, that the concept of "YOUR Freedom" only exists to strengthen the lock on your cage.

OBJECTION! First of all, I would like to state that I personally despise point-and-click games. I've had a run-in with tons of visual novel style games before, some were RPGs, some were action packed, but still, in essence they were visual novels -- that's besides the point. In Ace Attorney, you'll take on the role of an ordinary newby attorney who just got his badge, fresh out of law school. That's the gist of it; you get a few companions down the line whose special set of skills you get to use to conduct investigations, to be well prepared for upcoming trials. The game is seperated into episodes, during each there are mostly two parts; the Investigations part and the Trials part. Although you may not find the Investigation part all that exciting, the Trial part will have you on your toes in what will seem like the MOST INTENSE TRIALS of some of the MOST UNUSUAL CASES you've ever seen. It's not all THAT serious though, as you'll be faced with some of the most obnoxious obstacles; a prosecutor who's stuck in the past, another who has a whip she keeps throwing at the judge for "foolish" reasons, and one who uses "coffee" as a way to describe incidents, no matter how grave (also, he would occasionally pour hot cups of espresso on your head during trials, but that's part of the charm). The game has you meet also some very loveable characters; like the cute spirit mediums, the oblivious detective, the childhood friend that keeps causing you trouble, the photographer who's just in it for the fame and the lady struck by bad luck... and each of them, despite how stupid or cringey they sound at first, have a deep, depressing story you'll get to uncover on your own time. There isn't much to say about the gameplay; it's a point-and-click visual novel... However, the storytelling, the narrative, the characters and the atmosphere of the game will have you smiling, crying, giggling, sobbing... And finding clues while digging in snow always results in a nice, cozy feeling! It's just a wide range of feelings all at once and we LOVE it!

Get your Sherlock hats on, cause you're in for quite an investigation.
