Judgment

The best parts of Yakuza with a brand new theme that works really well. Judgment breathes a fresh life into the world of Kamurocho. It takes the best parts of Yakuza 0 and layered it with a new set of characters, themes, and stories. The Judgment world involves themes of detective and lawyer work. It's nothing deep like Ace Attorney, it's more of a general theme, the game guides you to the right evidence, witnesses, answers as you need them. The world of Kamurocho feels nostalgic at this point having played so many Yakuza games, and the game makes good use of what seems like every part of the town with quests, locations, side quests, friends, etc. There is the constant and familiar ambience of the town, the sussuration of its citizens, sirens in the distance and the general feeling of something happening amidst the NPCs' day to day lives. That aspect of Kamurocho has been faithfully maintained and built upon nicely. It's great to see the 'original' combat return. Unfortunately for me the Yakuza series seems to have moved on to a different target audience; it was a free combat series which became turned based combat series, and I just didn't click with it. Judgment thankfully …

It has Masaharu Kaito voiced by Sundowner and you beat people up as a PI. I'm obviously gonna recommend this.

the story is good the combat feel off

FUN

I thought I am gonna miss Kiryu too much to like this game. I was wrong. I still miss Kiryu, but Yagami is an amazing character and this game has best story of all the yakuza games. Also lots of good mechanics, friends, hot soundtrack and amazing combat. The only parts i didnt like were the "investigation" parts. Amazing game, have fun. 9/10

This game is great, my new fav of the franchise. The story is amazing, characters are clever and the combat flows well and the different styles look gorgeous.
