Apollo's Back Story

I honestly really liked Apollo when he was just “a dude.” Loved him in Apollo Justice because he was just a dude. The backstory was like…eh. Ehhh.

Felt like trying too hard to make things bombastic - which I think is my issue with post AJ games in general, they went a bit too hard with the “big climactic atmosphere” with external factors. What I loved so much about the original trilogy were how they’d use so little to make you feel so much with just the writing. Just one courtroom sprite and really solid writing.

Great Ace Attorney brought some of that back though despite also having big set pieces. Felt like it relied more on the characters than the big bombastic set pieces.
