Loved it as all other Yakuza games. incredible amount of side content, lots of time was lost in casino, mahjong and school dancing ;). p.s. now waiting to get my hands on Majima in Hawaii.

Very good sequel to the first. The plot took a while to grow on me but it ended up being great. The writers have once again done a good job of coming up with another multitude of wild conspiracies and hostile entanglements as you progress through the story. Overall, I think it did a good job selling itself as a crime/drama/thriller. Better combat system than the last game, they made skill points less annoying and its soundtrack is very good. Looking forward to Like a Judge Man 3

Lost judgement is one of the RGG goats. This game is more content dense than yakuza 5, which was one of the most best RGG experiences for me. The school stories and their mini-games are so engrossing and interesting in their own right, and honestly have enough content that school stories could have been a game itself. honestly i think i spent 3x the amount of time (enjoying) side content than i spent playing the main story. BTW the main story is great as well. I dont know how they keep managing to craft such amazing stories and fantastic and incredibly likable characters without missing. there is literally not a bad game in the franchise. The DLC is also very fire. Play kaito files. Its incredible, and feels like a condensed full game, yet another value add to the greatness that is lost judgement. I hope SEGA green lights a judgement 3 very soon. Grade a top quality stuff right here. I love you SEGA and RGG and i will simp for you for eternity, as long as you keep the hits coming. EVERY GAME is somehow better than the last.

Where Judgement 1 is a proof of concept, Lost judgement is the ideas fully realized. Lost judgement is a lovely game for a variety of reasons that I dont even know where to start. Its such a vast improvement over the original, on top of being a phenomenal RGG game. I'll start with some basics, "Do I need to play judgement 1 in order to understand this one?" No. All returning character are treated as "just another day in life of yagami and friends! :)" you wont be feeling like theres spoonfuls of lore missing from the games core story, at most are a small number of side quests that have a returning character, whom are side quest characters themselves that don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Never mind, gameplay wise, judgement 1 isn't a good time if you play it solely for the story. You'd be better of jumping into Lost judgement blind with no prior knowledge. "Do I need to play any of the yakuza games or vice versa to understand anything?" No. While both series are in the same universe, familiar faces from yakuza do not appear in either game. Meanwhile, the plots of both games are irrelevant to the greater yakuza universe as of writing. Aside from a single side quest in yakuza gaiden/ the man who erased his name having 2 characters fight alongside kiryu for 10 minutes, anything else meerly boiled down to cameo's you wouldn't notice in the first place. "Is the kaito files necessary?" The kaito files, while enjoyable, aren't needed for the main game. its a single ~10 hour story of kaito that likely is to give the writers some breathing space, should they be unable to use Yagami, without completely altering his design due to some external factors of the game itself. Its fun, but you're not missing too much. Everything about lost judgements gameplay is a vast improvement over the original. The combat is much smoother and feels more in like with traditional yakuza while allowing it to do its own things, side content is much more focused and allows for players to access it at their own paced. Tedious features such as mortal damage, and the "police timer" are gone. The grocery list of improvements goes on. For guys who can't get enough of classic yakuza combat, this is notably one of the more difficult games the studio has put out for all the right reasons. Someone making this their first RGG game will likely struggle unless they spend ALOT of time doing side content and getting beefy through playing the game in large increments. Someone like myself whose more at home and finished majority of the franchise on the hardest difficulties, victory feels earned. the challenge is present, but it never felt genuinely unfair, or cheap. The only criticism I have is purely with a couple mini games, the main outlier. theres a "vr" game that returns from judgement 1 that works like an offshoot of mario party. beat your opponent, net yourself a surplus of cash. if you really like the minigame, its a great way to get money fast. problem is, the minigame itself eats a lot of time to play, and should you occasionally lose for any reason, you get nothing for your time and effort. More ridiculous still, is in order to play the game, you have to use a consumable currency exclusively for it that the game sprinkles out in very small portions. I played it on a couple times ever, and regardless of if i won or not, there were so many other things I liked doing in game more, that even when I did want to play it, half the time I couldn't so I ignored its existence for the bulk of the game. Final verdict: 9/10 TLDR: the bar between judgement games was raised so high, I can't wait for another one.

Lost Judgment is an action-adventure game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) Studio and published by Sega. The game was released for the consoles on September 24, 2021. The PC version was released on Steam on September 14, 2022, as part of the Judgment series bundle. Lost Judgment is the sequel to Judgment (2018/19). The story follows Takayuki Yagami, who investigates a criminal accused of both sexual harassment and murder. However, the investigation deepens into bullying and revenge against it, blinding legal justice versus what is necessary. Yagami confronts the serious disturbances with improved investigation mechanics, revamped martial arts, intense hand-to-hand combat sequences, moral and legal gray areas, and high school drama. Does the sequel to Judgment increases the stakes and your intrigue? Lost Judgment has one of the darkest and most serious stories established in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon - Judgment franchise by RGG Studio. The main menu already makes a hard impact to the playerâ a Blade Runner-esque melancholy, depressive tone with pouring rainfall. The player knows the game takes it seriously. One of the subject matters is about bullying, and the ability for a person to respond to it. Bullying is a universal problem in all societies, but Eastern societies have a âsilent reactionâ and indifference. There are other, subtle subject matters and social commentaries RGG implemented in Lost Judgment I wonât spoil on, and these were handled very well. The acting performances are top notch and story grips from beginning to end. In some ways, Lost Judgment feels more like Persona 5 Royal, but no restrictions on the subject matters RGG was trying to portray. Itâs brutal, depressive, and understandably complex with a few charactersâ motivations and justifications. Lost Judgment has the mixture of the themes from I Saw the Devil (2010) + Jet Liâs martial arts in Fist of Legend (1994) + Jackie Chanâs fight against Benny the Jet in Wheels on Meals (1984) + the ferocious fighting sequences in The Raid 2 (2014) + and Philip Seymour Hoffmanâs menacing performance in Mission Impossible 3 (2006). The perfect summary about Lost Judgment. The gameplay is familiar to the previous entry, Judgment, but the combat is improved, fastened, and revamped. The combat system in Lost Judgment is, perhaps, the best â on par with Yakuza 0âs combat styles. Lost Judgment has a third combat style, the Snake, which is a parry and disarm Aikido-style. There is a fourth combat style, the Boxer â originated as part of a DLC. Much of its gameplay is like the previous entry, but Yagami can skateboard for easier travel and the skill points are more generous. There is a subplot where Yagami becomes a club advisor who investigates a high school academy. The subplot can be lengthy as if the subplot feels like a game within a game but is worth it when it comes to gather SP to unlock combat skills. Lost Judgment has notable improvements over Judgment (2018), but itâs not perfect. The story is great for the most part, but later sequences feel a bit âoffâ. I wonât go further details due to spoilers, but the arguments on what or who is âright or wrongâ doesnât really hold a lot of value. It one of those gray areas where RGG Studios should explore further but didnât for some reason as if the developers were conflicted themselves on what/whoâs right or wrong. Some clubs in the high school club advisor subplot doesnât affect the subplotâs storyline and feels like fillers. The robotics club minigame isnât hard, but the gameplay mechanics and explanations werenât clarified (think of it like a capture-enemy-base Tetris). Lost Judgment was released in 2021 and I was surprised the game wasnât nominated for a game awardâs categories like best action game or best soundtrack, given how few games were released in that year due to the COVID pandemic. I forgot to mention on the gameâs soundtrack and itâs arguably one of the best soundtracks I listen to up to the present time. I still use it for gym workouts and exercises. Some themes and subject matters in the game are not restrained to tell a grim and serious story. In some ways, I felt RGG Studio put a lot of effort into this game because it implies future titles for the Judgment spin-off series are not certain. As of typing this review, there is no confirmation of a third entry to the series. Lost Judgment is, arguably, the most serious and mature stories published by Sega and RGG Studio. While the game has a few ineffective parts in the story, RGG Studio has once again done an impressive job. The game has my high recommendation.
