I'm a bit surprised at the high ratings on this one, though I had sort of sensed most people valued this case higher than me, so not
too
surprised.
I totally appreciate all the strong points this case has and McGilded was definitely compelling, I think I was just still too much in a mind-set of "wow this game is simple and easy" (from the lingering effects of G1-2 into another trial-only case) plus there's still all the silly jurors and witnesses that still make this case feel very "GAA1-like" and I think that held me back from getting super invested in the case, even though it had those intriguing hooks in it. I may appreciate it more on a replay when I can view it distinctly from the cases before and after it which kind of sandwich it into a mediocre experience overall.
