Lost Judgment

I love

Hands down, Judgement, Lost Judgement and the Kaito Files are some of the best, and more story filled, riveting games I have ever played... I wish there were more in this series! But a must try!

definitely buy ts and judgment on hod

Nice game only draw backs i think are the stealth missions and tailing missions, i think they can use some work but the stealth music is so peak As for the kaito files, its fine but short and no new game plus for that i don't think its worth 30 bucks itself get it on sale 6/10

I've had this game for quite a few years but never reviewed it. Why? I couldn't force myself to finish the game the first time. Managed to push through it this time but the experience has not changed. Don't get me wrong, the world building, some (not all) of the side quests are enjoyable, even the high school content is funny. But the main plot and writing is -TERRIBLE-. Yagami is a joke of his original self, barely even a detective at best, and at worst, a broken record who stumbles into solutions via plot contrivance. 90% of the time he gets his answers through harassment when logically the NPCs have ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to give him any answers. The Criminal has no reason to answer his questions and the 'villain' twist is idiotic. I love the idea of grey morality, and that the justice system failing so people take things in their own hands, but the writer pulls it off really badly, making the game a slog to get through. A teacher who is introduced in the game as "righteous" and someone who "won't let them cover up their crime" turns out to be a liar, a hypocrite who is actually PART of the problem, and someone who actively hides information which leads to the stupidest and most unearned plot twist in a game yet. Yet the game writing tries to paint her as some gentle, wonderful good hearted person when she isn't and only plays into and enables the victim mentality. Yagami is constantly working alone with excuses of why he has to be the one to do everything that just doesn't work realistically or logically. Genuinely it feels like the writer loves Yagami so much that he will HAMMER in that Yagami is Always Right(tm) even/especially when he isn't whether you like it or not. It's shocking that he created Judgment, which is still superior to Lost Judgment. At the time of this writing I still haven't finished the game, though I'm over half done, and I don't have high hopes that the writing will get any better or make any sense. HOWEVER I would STILL recommend the game ..with Warnings ... only because the combat is tons of fun, the side missions are enjoyable and even though they massacred the personality and motivations of Yagami and his crew (Kaito, Sugiura and Tsukumo) it's still nice to see them in action ... when they aren't being stupid in the main plot. The game would have been much better if they hadn't leaned so hard into the Bullying plot and instead had Yagami and the "villain" team up against the person I would say was the ACTUAL villain, and then have them go their separate ways at the end. I can hope for a Remaster a few years down the line to fix the terrible writing and plot (obviously with a different Yagami model, or perhaps they'll actually make better use of Sugiura and Tsukumo instead) but that would require effort and better writing.
