Lost Judgment Reviews

One of the biggest Yakuza games, there is so much game in this game! Gameplay is extra polished. Graphics are amazing, 9/10 just because I wasn't the biggest fan of the "highschool drama" theme

This is a game where you lose your judgment and gain an unwavering belief, but now seriously, insanely fantastic game. It has more content than the previous game, also two new stances (Snake and Boxer), which are very very nice in my opinion, the story was taken a step further and went more into the emotional side rather than Judgment's movie-like thriller story, still though i overall enjoyed it, also the highschool part was pretty fun and the same for the side quests/stories. Overall? A must play game, but it is better if you play Judgment first to understand a few things more.

Lost Judgement and Yakuza 7 are as close as RGG has been to perfection

Judgement was a 10/10 game for me, the story was so good that I couldn't put it down and I wasn't really a yakuza series fan before. Yagami and Kaito and friends quickly became some of my favorite video game characters! After around 7 hours in this sequel, I feel like the game didn't disappoint: the game map is bigger with new areas, still loads of contents with many side cases, new mystery to solve with twists for the main story, and I am loving the new combat styles. Also, one of my few gripes with Judgement was the numerous annoyingly long and boring tailing sequences, and so far this game has really dialed it down on that front which is awesome.

this MIGHT be the best rgg game... but i think the story of judgment is a bit better (and we DONT have tailing missions anymore lets go)

This is the second best Yakuza game of them all, and it's not even a Yakuza game.

improves on EVERYTHING from Judgment aside from story and it’s one of my favorite RGG games, period School Stories were fantastic Yagami is overpowered and it's kinda too easy on hard though

as a diehard yakuza fan who's played 0-6 (currently halfway through 7), the first judgment did not impress me at all. in fact, i gave up and watched the cutscenes on youtube. although i did think the ending was cool, i couldnt bear playing again due to all the filler in the middle of main story missions. this game, however, had my interest instantly. it was so refreshing to see a RGG game that doesn't involve a yakuza muder mystery. instead, you're working with everyday civilians who struggle with things almost everyone in the world as experienced. its very relatable, and definitely feels more emotional due to how real the story feels. it definitely makes you rethink morals, and what is right and wrong to a person. the story isnt the only thing great about this game, because the combat is really where the game shines. going back to a whopping 4 COMBAT STYLES makes you realize how fun it was in yakuza 0/kiwami. all 4 of yagami's styles are each useful for their one combat scenarios, such as crane utilizing wide sweeping attacks that can damage large groups of enemies, tiger having charged attacks that can deal crazy damage to a singular opponent, and snake having a variety of parries and knockdowns to stun your opponent. and when you utilize the game's juggle mechanic, you can use all 4 styles to do crazy combos to opponents in the air. it feels a bit like if devil may cry was more ground-focused. there are so many other things that impressed me in this game, such as riding a skateboard in the beautiful city of ijincho, all the different minigames and sidequests, and the hilarious characters. this is a refreshing break from the yakuza series, and by far one of the best RGG games ive played.

Overall the game is really good but the biker gang minigame almost warrants a negative review by itself with how bad it was. 1) Rubber banding nonsense 2) Tedious boss fights that doesnt respect your time 3) Extremely long compared to the other better ones like virtua fighter, etc.

It's good game with interesting detective plot and high-quality cut-scenes. Though, fights are similar like the Yakudza 0 and series they give much enjoyment. Defenitely, the game worths wasted money.
