    Judgment is one of Sega's best games in years, and it has finally arrived on PC with many modern PC features and it also plays great on Steam Deck out of the box. If you skipped the recent PS5 or Xbox Series X remaster, this is an essential.

    Judgment is another high-quality release in the Yakuza franchise, complete with a ton of compelling side content, a great story, and enthralling drone races -- all wrapped up in a very nice PC port.

    Judgment and Lost Judgment collection is finally also on PC. Whether the first or the second game ends up being your favorite, the fact is that both are worth playing, and it might even get you hooked on the Yakuza series that came before them.

    The PC version of Judgment dissolves doubts about the future of the series, or at least that's what we hope. The game offers a quality very similar to the PS5 version and a fair number of graphic options to scale the experience on different configurations.

    A quality game and a worthy spin-off of the Yakuza series that offers many hours of fun, although it could have been even better with a couple of tweaks.

    Anyone who enjoys the Yakuza series should check out Judgment. While it doesn’t stand apart from the main series as much as I might have liked, with its most significant weaknesses being the places it tried to go its own way, the core gameplay from its parent series is as good as ever, and it features perhaps the best story in the entire saga.

    There are some factors that make the game boring, but overall it's a great game.

The game is action packed with tons of kicking and bashing heads. The game plot is engaging, and its characters are likeable. English voiceovers are very well done. There are many side missions that will extend gameplay for many hours. Overall it is an excellent title for those who enjoy story driven games. I will definitely pick up Lost Judgment after I am done with this game.… Expand

As a spin-off from the Yakuza it does justice to the general games. Story is fantastic as usual, the new main character is solid and the comedic timing in this game is much better than in other yakuza games. Yagami with Kaito make a wonderful bromance and their chemistry is always fun to observe. Story and main characters brought the game much higher for me. But where the game falls flat is side-content. While I enjoyed the VR game once or twice and drone league was rather fun, everything else was a drag. I decided to commit and finish all the side cases and friendships but it was ultimately meaningless. There was no great pay-off for investing all that time. Only thing I got was more trailing missions. And oh my god, how did that get past play testing. Trailing missions are probably the worst addition RGG studies has had. Really brought down the pace of the game. The side-content was so lacking that I finally learned how to play Mahjong. And no Karaoke? Travesty, those little songs are the backbone of the game series!
