    The Kaito Files is a DLC that, while a bit pricey, is a must-have for fans of the Yakuza series.

    If future Judgment games involve Kaito as the primary protagonist, he is off to an excellent start in Lost Judgment: The Kaito Files. His past is explored in customary fashion and he passes with flying colours.

    It's funny that The Kaito Files works so well without Judgment protagonist Yagami. Kaito's charm and past keeps you entertained throughout this short, but sweet adventure that's got all the classic Yakuza charm with a great new story.

    If you love the Judgment series, The Kaito Files DLC offers more of the same with enough of a little refresh in gameplay to keep it interesting, and while still offering the usual balance of humour and compelling storyline that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios has mastered. After all, not many games will have you wrestling in a hot tub with a guy in his underwear while on the hunt for a murderer. Though I would have liked to hit the streets of Yokohama with Kaito or pick up some side cases, it’s an enjoyable experience that left me wanting to spend more time with my favourite flashy-dressed bruiser.

There isn't much to do apart from the linear DLC story, but Kaito is such a lovable character, and the story is quite good, simple, but it fits the characters and keeps you playing till you finish it. Can't wait to see more about Kaito and the others, and hopefully, we will see the story advance according to what happened here for the next Judgment game. Well done Kaito! Expand
