What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $9.89, set in June 2023. It has been discounted 55 times in the 8 years tracked here, typically at 67 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 2 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games closest to it, Thimbleweed Park™ ($19.99, scores 73) and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers 20th Anniversary Edition ($19.99, scores 49) both come in lower.
80 from critics against 98 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.
Steam's global achievement data says about 10 percent of players ever finish it. On a 60.4-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2023 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 1,507 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.
Still 826 concurrent players, 7 years in.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

What players say
You play an attorney whose main legal strategy is extreme bluffing, relying on spirit mediums for evidence, getting physically assaulted by prosecutors in open court, and cross-examining witnesses until their hair flies off and they tear themselves apart. It's completely unhinged, yet charming and entertaining If you're asking for my final verdict... OBJECTION!! (loved it)
This game is so dear to me I did use guides, because sometimes this game is a bit ???? on what to do next, but it's still a really good game and really really fun when i sat down and actually tried to figure out what was happening. I did all achievements! Take my play hours as a rough guide on what you're gonna need (again, I did use guides, so for some of the rarer achievements I was actively looking out for what I...

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy scores 98/100 on the BANG Score (a BANGER). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/787480/phoenix-wright-ace-attorney-trilogyThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 14, price as of Sep 24.
