Thankfully, nothing feels like it’s being done for shock value, and like its predecessor, its writing is always good enough to effectively deliver the needed impact of the more dramatic moments in the story.Īnd of course, the fact that the bulk of the story is set in Ijincho, Yokohama (which Yakuza: Like a Dragon fans will be very familiar with) definitely helps. Lost Judgment’s story, which starts off with things such as suicide and bullying, doesn’t pull any punches either, and has the capacity to hit surprisingly hard with those narrative beats.

This series as a whole is known for that, of course- in spite of how silly and ridiculous and over-the-top these games can get, they can also every so often go to some really dark places. One particular way in which it stands out is how surprisingly dark Lost Judgment can get.

' Lost Judgment does exactly what an ideal sequel should- it improves upon the first game’s strengths, while also introducing solid new ideas of its own, and in the process ends up surpassing its predecessor.' It’s hard to talk about all the ways Lost Judgment’s story works without spoiling interesting details that are best discovered yourself, but from the portrayals of returning characters to the excellent new ones added to expand the cast, from the gradual pacing that smartly takes its time to properly set things up to, of course, the excellently written and voiced dialogue (for which the localization deserves massive props), there’s no shortage of things working together in harmony to ensure that Lost Judgment doesn’t stumble in the narrative department. By the time you’re a couple of chapters in and the core of the story has properly crystallized, Lost Judgment’s central narrative premise really shines, with multiple plot threads running simultaneously and affecting the others in interesting ways. It’s a strong setup that instantly hooks you, and Lost Judgment keeps introducing new narrative threads throughout its opening hours as well. Hired by the man’s lawyers, who happen to be the familiar faces at Genda Law, Yagami heads to Yokohama and begins investigating the case in an attempt to untangle its mysteries.

When a man on trial for sexual harassment is deemed guilty, during the court hearing, he informs the judge of a corpse found In Yokohama, claiming that the man was responsible for his son’s suicide years ago, and though he escaped punishment because of a broken system then, he’s now got what was coming to him. Lost Judgment takes place a couple of years after the events of the first game, with Yagami and Kaito’s detective work in Kamurocho continuing to chug along, but as the game begins, Yagami Detective Agency is roped into a twisted and complicated case. And that sequel, Lost Judgment, does exactly what an ideal sequel should- it improves upon the first game’s strengths, while also introducing solid new ideas of its own, and in the process ends up surpassing its predecessor. While Yakuza crafts dense RPG adventures going forward, Judgment is delivering the same brawler gameplay that the series had always been known for, with some wrinkles and elements of its own, and the first game did it well enough to warrant a sequel.
