Apollo Justice Trilogy is an even better glow-up than the original Ace Attorney Trilogy

Indeed, the only visible piece of evidence that these haven’t just arrived as a simultaneous three-pack of releases is the fact that Apollo Justice still retains its original 2D artwork while the others benefit from fully 3D character models....

Nine new punishing levels that continue the OG hell-shooter Sigil 2 acts as a direct sequel toSigil, which itself looked to extend the story of Doom beyond its climactic fight against the Spidermastermind in E4M8 - albeit as an unofficial fifth episode. Both campaigns span nine levels created to run as a megawad in the original Doom engine, with Romero’s site suggesting GZDoom as an easy way to boot up the megawad - the format used by both Doom and Doom 2 for bundles of levels and other files....
