I've always found it difficult to recommend visual novel games, as you have to be the kind of person willing to prefer focusing on story while potentially sacrificing gameplay. But personally, I've always had a soft spot for these types of games, especially when playing them on handheld devices, and it was in the mid 2000s with my first ever Nintendo device that I fell in love with the Ace Attorney series, starting with the DS version of its first entry, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
