This is one of my favorite cases in the series; top 10 but probably also top 5. But I admit the logic is a bit shaky in places and I was wondering about a few things.

1. The first contradiction is pretty good, but the following arguments are contingent on the idea that Tahrust would run unarmed to fight someone with a knife. This one is understandable because he still might be physically stronger than Maya, but...

2. Nahyuta later destroys your reasoning by saying that Maya chased Tahrust to the statue from behind. But wouldn't that require there to be two sets of footsteps then? Unless she took off her shoes, which I wish they'd at least addressed.

3. I agree with the common complaint the game should have highlighted more the possibility that Tahrust was misguided, but also what about Datz? He also only briefly apologized for falsifying testimony against Maya. I get that he's an impulsive guy who prioritized his own survival, but the game should have still done more to call him out.

4. What if Rheel Nehmu's seance was any longer? It would have shown more than just the slab. It was only about 10 seconds, while Inga's was at least 30. And likewise if Inga's had only been 10 seconds, we wouldn't have heard the Man's Voice and couldn't have made the deductions we made.

5. If Behle'eb was present in the court the whole time, why didn't she initially confess, and then why did she later? Was it because the twist about the suicide made her realize she didn't want anyone else to get hurt? This also seems a little contrived.

I like the case but the answers to these things, especially number 2, just weren't always obvious.

I won but I was very clearly behind for the first half of the game. What was the flaw in my strategy? Was I too chaotic and abstract? Too focused on poorly planned influence instead of territory? What would a better strategy have been?

I'd love any reviews!

I first played the game in Fall 2026 and (eventually, after much hardship) got the 100% achievement.

Now I replayed it over a few days. I was trying to do as minimalist a playthrough as possible; see how quickly I could get to just the Weaver Queen ending without any upgrades. I sometimes obtained bonus things but just never intentionally. I never obtained more than 5 hearts; I obtained only the Reaper Crest, and the only tools I obtained were compass, quick bind, and cogflies.

Here's how I found the challenges:

Hard (25-50 tries)

High Halls Gauntlet

Widow

Grand Mother Silk

Moderate (10-15 tries)

Lace 2

Last Judge

Easy (5 tries or less)

Everything else; the Underworks platforming was mildly hard but that's about it

Total Playtime: 14.5 hours

So my questions are, is Silksong really harder than HK? I've never done a replay of HK. Is this the kind of experience you'd have on an HK replay? I found replaying Silksong more enjoyable than any of my attempted HK replays because the plot seemed more structured and I felt more of a sense of direction.

I will admit that I struggled on my first play of both games, but both of them are also just a matter of adapting. For example, High Halls seemed way easier when I finally realized how effective it was to clawline over the two fat honeycomb dudes.

Which game do you think is harder?

In this 19x19 game, I had a good opening where I felt like I was constantly making good risk-reward calculations, but then there was one specific part where I felt like I was just playing a little... snoozy. Like I had creative burnout yk? And I never came back from that, and then I eventually resigned even though I had the chance to save a group (albeit I'd still be losing).

Is Go about managing that creative energy effectively and not suffering from creative burnout?

I mean this seriously, I even consider Ace Attorney to be my primary socializing agent.

In particular I found it touching how Ben is seriously considered by Regina in Turnabout Big Top, I relate to Ben a lot so it's nice to know I might be able to get someone after all

What's your thoughts on this topic like, around this game and what it gives or teaches you personally?

Here we go! I wouldn't call myself a diehard fan of the series, I just kind of found the first game special and continued to play the others because they hit some of the same highs as DR1, but I have characters I like from all three.

LMK what you think, I'll even tolerate downvotes if the sub is super overzealous or whatevs
