8/10

I'm in a weird position where I think 5-6 is generally overrated but still really good! I love Shipshape Aquarium as a location. Blackquill pulling a Godot at the end of Day 1 was a great homage. I think Crab is a really good witness. Phoenix refusing to accept a guilty verdict for Rimes and continuing the trial just to find the real truth is the most "classic" Phoenix moment in either of the new games.

I do think it's got some weird pacing and structural issues near the end. Rimes has his big villain transformation, and then he...steps aside for a while so we can cross-examine the orca. That's always stood out to me as an odd decision because the transformation usually signals that they've become the sole focus of the trial now, but that wasn't the case with Rimes.
