    I've played all the Yakuza games and consider myself a fan, this one is not as good as the first Judgment or Like a Dragon, the story really comes unglued in the middle and I like the idea of the long side stories in the school but they take forever and there are too many unvoiced dialogues
    The worst part is that the towns are stripped down versions of what they were in Judgement and Like    I've played all the Yakuza games and consider myself a fan, this one is not as good as the first Judgment or Like a Dragon, the story really comes unglued in the middle and I like the idea of the long side stories in the school but they take forever and there are too many unvoiced dialogues

    I still don't like the English dub of the main character which is a shame because everyone else is pretty good
    The positives are that it looks pretty good and the story is strong for the first half, the side activities are a mixed bag    … Expand

    The game looks like a Yakuza reskin, but that’s not quite true. Lost Judgement is more refined, so to speak: there’s more emphasis on the detective work, and Yagami isn’t so keen to get into fights. Although there’s still plenty of random street thugs for you to beat up. [Issue#256, p.36]

    Lost Judgment feels like a genuine alternative to the Yakuza games of yore, albeit one that’s still reluctant to leave its comfort zone.

    While I enjoyed the experience of Lost Judgment overall, I finished the game with a lot of nagging feelings. The game was definitely rushed in some areas, and some more tender love and care were definitely needed in terms of refining the newer gameplay elements. It’s clear that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio had a lot of new detective elements it wanted to explore, it’s just a shame most of them don’t work without either killing the game’s pacing or are just plain boring. The story, however, is very powerful and has a lot of presence, but makes some uncomfortable missteps. The combat is fast and frantic but can be glitchy at times. Everything points to this game being rushed, and it definitely shows in so many areas. Lost Judgment is a great game plagued by lots of little mistakes that sadly are too much to ignore. While it’s not as strong as the first installment, it’s worth playing to see how Yagami’s story comes to an end.
