Because a lot of Lost Judgment takes place in a school, you spend a great deal of time there, even becoming the mentor to a school mystery club. You still have crane style for crowds and tiger style for individual enemies, though, which you can freely swap to.Īll of the mini-games and side content players expect are back to, with one major twist. It just flows so well and feels amazing in practice. Snake style is mainly meant to be used against enemies with weapons as a means to disarm them, but it was by far my most used combat style in the game. Gone are the frustrating mortal wounds, and in is a third fighting style for Yagami, snake style. ![]() Meanwhile, the combat here builds upon even the excellent fighting in the last game. Most of the time, when a Yakuza game jumps to a different city, it’s just for a short visit, so it was great to see Lost Judgment balance its locations so well. You can travel freely between them, and both are filled with side activities and things to do. Despite this, neither city feels short-changed. While you still spend a fair amount of time in Kamurocho, most of your time will be spent in Ijincho. I loved Like a Dragon but Lost Judgment executes this formula better than any game in the series to date. I’m so glad Judgment is still here to carry on the traditional Yakuza style of gameplay now that the main story has sought to explore a different style. Some of the series’ best twists are a part of Yagami’s latest case. There are content warnings at the start for a reason. While Lost Judgment can be incredibly funny and lighthearted at times, it isn’t afraid to get very dark, either. It should come as no surprise that these two cases intersect in a story that involves themes of bullying, suicide, assault, and more. He knows the victim’s identity, despite the police not yet identifying them, and his arrest gives him an alibi for the time of the murder. ![]() It seems like an open and shut case which even they don’t feel they can win, but after conviction, their client stands up before the court and announces a body has just been found. Meanwhile, the Genda law firm also returns from the first game, and they’re representing a man accused of groping a woman on the subway. A local private school has concerns about bullying that go back several years but which they want to finally get to the bottom of, and they’ve turned to these detectives to figure out what is happening. They’re called in for support on a case by their friends Sugiura and Tsukumo, both returning from the first game, who have set up their own detective agency in Ijincho, which fans of Yakuza Like a Dragon will recognize as the setting of that game. Three years after the first Judgment, Yagami and his partner Kaito are still running their detective agency despite work being slow lately. It would have been a real shame to see the series end here, but fans who are having their first chance to play it are in for a treat. It’s wonderful that whatever the truth may have been behind the scenes, it has been worked out, because Lost Judgment improves on the original Judgment in almost every way. ![]() There were reports over the last year that due to complaints from the agency of Takuya Kimura, who serves as the model of lead character Takayuki Yagami as well as his Japanese voice actor, these games could not release on PC, which cast doubt on whether Sega would continue them at all. Having the Judgment games release on PC is a dream for fans, not only because it means more people can play them, but because of what it means for the series’ future.
