    I'm a big fan of the yakuza style of game play, mix that with a cool story and fast combat and it's a win for me. I highly recommend playing this.

    10/10 for me, I loved every minute of the lost judgment story, it shows how in this world of shadows and light the truth can be hidden, but there is a brave detective who delves into a case that Japanese justice ignores, In lost judgment, every action the characters take has consequences. The game is not perfect, it has its problems but the good things it has make the negative a small10/10 for me, I loved every minute of the lost judgment story, it shows how in this world of shadows and light the truth can be hidden, but there is a brave detective who delves into a case that Japanese justice ignores, In lost judgment, every action the characters take has consequences. The game is not perfect, it has its problems but the good things it has make the negative a small problem. The combat is so dynamic that it gives you the freedom to do many things including juggling combos, many minigames that are a refreshing addition to isezaki ijincho as it makes the city feel alive with the activities you can do. The detective system is not that challenging and does not penalize you at all if you make a mistake but it gives you satisfaction with extra points when you solve a case without making a mistake. highly recommended. You also do not have to play Judgment to play Lost Judgment since the story is written in such a way that you do not feel lost if you did not play the previous one, which I still recommend that you play… Expand

    This game is a masterpiece. I just finished it before 2 hours and cant express how I felt when I saw the credits. This game took a serious and sensitive case and presented it with honesty . The result is ( A genius story )
    Good Job RGG Studio

    One of the best thought out story of the yakuza franchise and its spin offs. Tons of content . Great mixture of silliness and seriousness. Great soundtrack and fun combat. Highly recommended.

    LA Noir meets The Getaway meets Shenmue. Somehow this narrative of pure unadulterated Japanese cheese comes together to form one of the best and most entertaining games I’ve ever played.

    A Great Drama
    Lost Judgement is a 21 hour long action narrative detective adventure.. theres a lot here..
    I’ve never played any of the Yakuza games or the previous judgement game and I was just fine hopping in here with Lost Judgement as it is a self contained story, Here you play as detective Takayuki Yagami,the game starts with a man being arrested for groping a woman at a train station, all while you’ve been hired to infiltrate a highschool to stop bullying.. a teacher from this school was murdered, and eventually all things get entertwined, a murder, sexual assult, bullying.. and you have to untie and connect all of the loose threads…
    The game tackles a serious subject of suicide and bullying all while managing to not take itself so seriously at the same time… youll be handing it to these snot nosed bullies multiple times throughout the day, and solving a murder mystery by night, and I was glued to my seat.. at least for the first half of the game.. here youll do a mix of running from point a to be, stealthing past enemies, getting into fights, and scoping out areas for clues to to progress the story.. and every once in a while get into a chase or teach a dance class… theres a great amount of variety here to keep you enteretained not to menton the horus upon hrs of side missions to really flesh this world out.. but ultimately Lost Judement went on far too long.. I loved the story, all of the twistand turns.. but by hours 12 or so, I was just ready for them to get on with it… stop sending me on this wild goose chase and just end this already… None of the new information was compelling and even if it were, this new info would be stretch out across hours leading me to just be over it before even more new info came in to be stretched out another 2-3 hours.. this story could’ve easily been trimmed down towards the end..
    But overall Lost Judgement offers a compelling murder mystery worth sitting down with for a week..
    One that’s simple and accessible enough to feel like a tv series you sit down with for a few hours a night..
    The pacing gameplay wise is amazing, and if you love your self some crime dramas pick this one up..
    I give Losst Judgement

    lost judgment is a game that improves all its mechanics prior to its previous installment, a story that grabs you and with very well developed characters, it complies graphically and its soundtrack is spectacular.

    As always ryu ga gotoku makes a great game, lost judgement knows as all this studio´s game a perfect balance between comedy, nonsense and increible storytelling, but in comparison with the rest of the series for me personally it ends up a little under the radar. Still a real fun game.

    Franchement ceux qui ont aimé le 1er seront en terrain connu (peut être trop) et adoreront ce second volet. Scénario toujours sombre et bien pensé avec son lot de twist, personnages toujours au top, et un lycée (nouveau lieu) qui donne son lot de mini jeux super sympas.
    Mes seuls reproches:
    - que les choix dans les enquêtes soient toujours aussi inutiles (on ne peut finalement jamais donné la mauvaise réponse et que cela ait un impact sur le scénario)
    - aucune reprise de l'ancienne sauvegarde (on aurait pu récupérer ses objets, décos, etc... du premier Judgment)
    - le même environnement que Judgment et Yakuza 7 (hormis le lycée). On commence à trop connaître ces lieux, faudrait innover.

    Pour le reste, foncez, c'est du tout bon.    … Expand

    剧情相比一代不够缜密，有些地方（尤其是结局）很生硬，但战斗系统大幅进化，叙事也保持了一贯的水准
    Compared with the previous generation, the plot is not meticulous enough. In some places (especially the ending), it is very stiff, but the combat system has evolved greatly and the narrative has maintained a consistent level.

    This game gives you emotions. One of the best stories told in the game. Gameplay is also solid.

    I loved this game due to the story it was rich and full of action. It blew me away how amazing it was told.

    Minus two points for console exclusiveness (Blame Johnnys for not letting Yagami on PC) & plot hole (Yagami using Sawa sensei's death as a shield against basically everything & everyone second half).
    Great side missions although I'm not a big fan of school life, the better Yakuza game(combat & mini games), however we won't get another one. Yagami is cool. Opening song is great.

    If nothing else, Lost Judgment proves it would be a great shame if he didn't get another opportunity to find his niche. [Issue#365, p.112]

    Lost Judgment is a bittersweet event. The story aims for a mature tone but is too often a macabre, morbid misfire that strays too far from the balance between silly and serious that the series is famed for. It's not a poorly developed title, though; the outrageously brilliant combat and sandbox distractions are clear evidence of that. It just struggles to tell the sort of meaningful, believable and sensitively weighted story that players have come to expect from this talented team.

    Lost Judgment is a huge game with a storyline that will keep you glued to the screen and seasoned with a fast, frantic and spectacular gameplay and some very enjoyable mini-games. Recommended both to those who were already fans of the series and to those looking for a game with a strong narrative impact but without sacrificing fun gameplay.
