    The Kaito Files is a first for RGG, but I honestly hope it isn’t the last. There are so many characters in this long-running series, and the field is ripe for exploration of other protagonists and events. Case in point: Kaito makes a fantastic lead. With the future of the Judgment series uncertain due to disagreements with the talent agency representing Yagami’s Japanese actor, Takuya Kimura, this DLC is almost like a proof of concept in a way. While I would hate for Yagami to no longer be involved in future games, Kaito could clearly take the main character role if need be, and that gives me hope that we haven’t seen the last of this spin-off series.

The combat is the same but playing as Kaito just gives you his own prospective, which feels intriguing. The plot twist and revelation throughout were amazing and 8ish hours of this content never got boring or felt dragged out. There aren’t many trophies for it but at least there is a gold one symbolising you unlocked all of the skill tree and fully completed the dlc. Also using Kaito’s senses gave a nice twist to the detective nature of the game. Full Review »

It’s not quite the length of a full game but the price point justifies the Kamurocho environment and Sega games within the game. As a stand-alone game I would give it a 4 but as a DLC for the main game it’s a 5 and more than I could ask for considering the other DLCs that have dropped. Full Review »
