It's so much better than the first one!

The story working through the cases actually progresses in chronological order, for once, and the couple flashback cases intertwined throughout make sense with the pacing and information we are provided!

The resolution on most of the cases are interesting and surprising, giving you enough time to get used to the NPCs and villains, who are also a lot better! (although they were good on the first one too)

Kay Faraday is a lot quieter and less of a focus!!! And when she is more of a focus, (case 4 spoilers)she has amnesia so she's EVEN MORE quieter and more interesting!. Lord I really dislike her!

The writing is sharp, the characters are the best in the series as always, and I loved the angles they chose to explore. Getting to know Edgeworth's father was great, Eddie Fender is a lovely addition, and Miles' inner conflict explored throughout while pushing against the very real villains was a great choice.

For the first time in a while for this series, a new mechanic had me excited and it fully paid off: Mind Chess.

Every time Edgeworth smiled and dropped a hint of what was coming "I think I know what I can do to get this information..." I would excitedly chant "MIND CHESS!". I love this silly conversational puzzle!

The investigations themselves are still a bit limited, but they were adjusted to be either shorter or more interesting, and both alleviate the frustration.

Playing it on the Switch took away the charm of the dual screens that I love, but at least they allowed me to keep the pixel art investigations.
