I just beat G1-2 and spoilers/thoughts for the entire case:
Man an entire case that's just 1 really long investigation! I actually kind of expected that given the setting and didn't even mind because the new Dance of Deduction mechanic is so god damn fun and Herlock Sholmes is already a classic character to me. I love all his animations and how expressive he is and he had me laughing the entire time he was on the screen and I was happy to see the detective again from the first case since he's such a bro. I figured out the case pretty much exactly by the beginning of the second part since I usually sit down and look through the evidence after each part and as soon as I saw the milk saucer in Nikola's room it made everything Kazuma wrote in his diary make sense but I couldn't figure out quite how he got murdered by a 15 year old ballerina or quite why she would do it and they threw a major wrench in my logic as soon as the snake came into play but as soon as it was figured to be a red harring I felt confident again. It was a pretty sad death all around since I really liked his character in the first case but mentors just can't catch a break in this series unless you're Phoenix Wright yourself and I actually did feel bad for her given all her circumstances so I felt a lot like Misato at the end, just frustrated and mad he was just robbed. It was a great story and makes me excited for the other investigations in these two games because of how fun the Dance was.
