Ace Attorney 6 continues the investigation and courtroom of its predecessors, in which players take the role of the defense attorneys; Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Athena Cykes, and try to defend their clients. The game continues the 3D navigation introduced in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Dual Destinies, allowing players to navigate environments from various angles. Along with returning gameplay elements, such as the Mood Matrix introduced in Dual Destinies, the game introduces Spirit Medium Vision, in which the players are shown the memories of victims moment before their deaths and must find contradictions in their five senses to determine what really happened.
About the story
The story of Ace Attorney 6 once again focuses on defense attorney Phoenix Wright and his two understudies Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes. Phoenix gets reunited with his longtime friend and spirit medium companion, Maya Fey, while visiting the island of Kurain, where lawyers are deemed unnecessary as spirit mediums are able to conjure up visions of a victim's memories moments before death. As ever, Phoenix and Maya seek to prove out that even a supposedly definitive method of convicting defendants has its own contradictions, while Apollo and Athena stay back home and have their own set of cases to deal with. Trucy Wright, Phoenix's daughter, becomes Apollo's defendant after a death occurs during one of her shows.

By games™ TeamGorgeous, but let down by a lack of confidence
DarkZero
By Dominic SheardCapcom has the Ace Attorney foundations firmly mastered at this point, meaning fans know what to expect from a new entry in the series.
FNintendo
By Henrique PereiraIt can be too predictable at some points and its longer lifespan feels unnecessary at some moments but the overall result is still on par with the high standards that the series has left its players used to.
Cubed3
By Adam RileyBringing together the key players from recent Ace Attorney outings, whilst developing some of the newer characters to flesh out their stories for future entries, is a very difficult balancing act, yet with Spirit of Justice Capcom expertly navigates any pitfalls to deliver the most in-depth, enthralling episode of Phoenix Wright's adventures so far. It might, for better or worse, feel like Apollo Justice 2 to some, but the way the story unfolds over the five cases is magnificent and leaves players - new and old, alike - hungry for much more.
