Summary

Judgment is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective. The game is a legal thriller set in the Yakuza world of Kamurocho and follows private detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates a serial murder case. It stars Japanese actor Takuya Kimura and employs a fighting system similar to that of Yakuza 0 where players can change into different styles, namely crane-style which is more focused on fighting groups and tiger-style which is more focused on fighting individuals. Additionally, the game features an investigation mode where the player must find traces of the criminal.

torture to finish.
The story was ok with some good twists but it sure doesn’t make up for this garbage gameplay,the only good thing that did were the characters.
The missions were all the same dumb bullshit of clicking something to investigate,thats a feature of a ps1 game! Can’t they innovate?fights are as bad as any other yakuza game,chasing missions made me wanna die and the city was as dead as i wish to be on any given weekend.

A solid entry into the Yakuza franchise. This spin-off is really solid fun and has a gripping story. Not quite on the level of Yakuza 0. But not many games are!

its a really good Yakuza game - but thats it. I was hoping for a more radical change from the normal Yakuza formula and was kind of disappointed that it was only with some hints of an actual mystery/ detective game.
still, it has a interesting story and the game is overall quite good 🙆

A worthy successor to the Yakuza franchise. The story was a wild ride and the cast of characters here were written better than the average Yakuza character. The story is kinda slow for the first half of the game but it does really pay off during the second half.

Combat is very fluid and fast paced compared to Yakuza's combat but it is also kind of janky. Could do with a bit more ironing out.

The side stories are always a fun break in these games, there are plenty to get yourself lost in.

Having played Yakuza 0-6 though, I already was burnt out on everything the Yakuza series has to offer, and this game doesn't have much new to offer in terms of gameplay. But as someone who is playing this for the first time, you'd definitely have a blast with the open hub Kamurocho.

If you're thinking of playing this without having played the Yakuza games, I absolutely say go for it. There is actually no overlap between this and the Yakuza games besides the shared universe.
I'm looking forward to playing the sequel as the Judgement franchise has the potential to be even bigger than Yakuza.

It was Nice in the beginning, but so boring. The “open world” was to Little open for me. A lot of talking and combat was repetitive

Alright gang! Arguably the best story I've heard in fiction! Dramatic ending which was very cool! Game has it flaws like I felt the fighting is a bit repetitive, and on not so important parts that charchters don't really talk, other than that the games is very good, very nice charchters! First yakuza game for me.

Edit: credits music is very nice :)
