Lost Judgment

A burning pile of garbage.

good ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game

I mean, it is as good as it gets. These guys just know how to do games.

我真的不想说多了，游戏本身是可圈可点的，可bug太多了吧？小设计上的问题也太多，很无语，你们在做酒吧女孩随机的时候没想过任务需要她们触发吗？搞得我来回花钱进，好玩吗？这都不说了，这个校园分支，我做完了所有社团，结果到结局以后摄影社团的任务都推进不了导致我根本就没办法做完整个任务线，要我退回十个小时的进度去处理你们的bug问题吗？如果不能接受这种随机bug问题还不修的，我不推荐这一作

Games from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are as brilliant as they are frustrating, which is why it is hard for me to simply recommend them—or not. However, of all the studio's games I have played, this one is probably my favorite. "Lost Judgment" continues the adventures of detective and former lawyer Takayuki Yagami —first introduced in the 2018 game "Judgment", a spin-off of the "Yakuza / Like a Dragon" series*— that marked the studio’s foray into the investigative genre. Directed by Yutaka Ito (who would go on to direct the DLC and 2024’s "Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth"), this sequel maintains the production values ​​of the original while introducing a new district and slightly reworking the gameplay. While the first game’s investigation was heavily scripted and linear, this installment expands it with mini-games —such as tracking, tailing, and clue-gathering— though these unfortunately are simplistic and dated. While the game wins you over with its epic, profound story (tackling the issue of school bullying), memorable characters, pervasive humor, high production values, and sheer wealth of content (side activities are not mere filler, and the game offers impressive longevity), it is hard to ignore the shaky gameplay. The experience swings between intense action sequences —with a combat system enhanced by an additional style that makes it truly excellent— and the interminable cutscenes and dialogues (a RGG studio trademark) that force you to passively follow the plot... RGG is not a specialist in investigative games. Had this title been the result of a synergy between the studio’s expertise in action and open-world games and that of a developer well-versed in the genre —such as Frogwares for example— the outcome could have been the greatest game of all time. As it stands, I would say it is worth playing if you are a fan of the studio, enjoy action games (interspersed with 20-minute cutscenes...), or have an interest in Japanese culture. However, it is not recommended if you prefer challenging adventure or mystery games. * even though its director —iconic SEGA figure and head of RGG Studio, Toshihiro Nagoshi— claimed otherwise. Nevertheless, "Lost Judgment" shares with the studio’s then most recent release, "Yakuza: Like a Dragon" (2020), the Dragon Engine and the same open-world setting .
