Lockpicking makes is debut, but I couldn’t quite work out why there needed to be two separate scenarios of either using a lockpicking tool for one type of door, alongside using wires to break into other doors. It is a mechanic that encourages you to think more tactfully, rather than: See enemy, smash skull in with a traffic cone, rinse, repeat.Ĭrime scenes are scanned using a first person view, or a photo finder if you are working on old case files, which finally gives use to that mechanic that has been present since the Yakuza games.

If you have been given a particularly nasty beating at the hands of your foes, a part of your health bar is permanently blocked off until you are able to visit a doctor or use medkits. There’s still the usual violence (even if not much needed changing on that front), though Judgment also boasts an added “mortal wounds” mechanic. The overall gameplay mechanics have been given a slight facelift to try and fit the tone of Judgment’s investigative world with various degrees of success. While the game keeps its feet firmly in Kamurocho, more has been added in terms of restaurants, shops and other amusements so that it doesn’t feel stale. The city of Kamurocho pops with its vibrant night time settings and golden daylight scenes that ensures running around the city while kicking a random thug’s head in is still a pleasure. The presentation, while nothing to write home about, still comes across as visually impressive. Yagamai’s interactions with the world around him, from his best friend Masaharu Kaitio to his father figure Ryuzo Genda, are written so well that you would be forgiven for thinking that you have seen these characters before. Yagamai is a likeable character, much more brash and cocky when compared to his Yakuza counterpart, Kazuma Kiryu. This is all tied together with a sprinkling of that high-octane action RGG Studio perfected in their Yakuza series. The only criticism that springs to mind is that, the narrative is a little slow to set the pieces during its first two chapters. It’s a noir tale that is told perfectly, with swerves and twists that will keep you guessing and glued to the screen until the end. Judgment takes you through the seedy underbelly of the city of Kamurocho, which entrails conspiracy theories, plot twists, and surprisingly well-conveyed commentary on the socio-political concerns of Japan’s aging population. Following a spate of gruesome murders carried out on Yakuza members performed by a man only known as “The Mole”, Yagamai is dragged into a compelling noir tale. You play Takayuki Yagamai, a lawyer turned private eye after a court case gone awry.

So why do RGG Studio and SEGA keep getting free passes from their growing fanbase? The evidence is not in why they do this, but how. Setting a game in the same area while somehow making it fresh and still pull in fans is likely to be a fever dream for heavyweight gaming publishers, and yet it usually backfires in spectacular fashion. This doesn’t really translate that much difference if we compare them side-by-side, but it is still worth mentioning here.It is almost awe-inspiring how Ryu ga Gotoku Studio and SEGA managed to pull this off. There are also other advantages like higher-quality shadows, reflections, and anisotropic filtering. The load time is said to be 3x faster on the PS5 compared to the PS4. Lost Judgment also benefits from a faster load time on the PS5. This is similar to the latest Yakuza game which is not unexpected since they are running on the same game engine.

It runs at 900p at 30 FPS on the PS4, 1080p at 30 FPS on the PS4 Pro, and 1440p at 60 FPS on the PS5. Lost Judgment appears to follow the same visual setup as Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
