10/10

It's genuinely better than entire games in this series, and it pulls off a past/present connection wonderfully unlike the disaster that was 4-4's MASON system. Gregory and von Karma make excellent rivals, Katherine Hall is lovely, and being able to see the events that practically started the whole series had me stand up and take a break from playing when it was pieced together. Really! Gustavia makes a suitable villain when revealed, and the set pieces of the gallery are striking. von Karma's penalty delivery even sets up for the next case on top of explaining an intriguing piece of information from the very first game. I guess if there's a negative to be had, Butz being involved in the case was something I sighed at.

I debated giving this case the highest score, but it really is that good for me. I can only offer nitpicks for criticisms. The team deserves a round of applause for delivering this as "only" the third case of the game. Easy top 5 case for the series imo.
