“Possibly the best "yakuza" game I've ever played, combat is great (although I've heard it's nothing compared to the sequel). And the story is a lot like yakuza 3's in the way that it takes a while to really pick up, but…”
“Yakuza but better. more variation of action than just brawl (tailing, searching evidence, chasing suspected). the minigames also fun and challenging too.”
“Absolute banger must play if you are a Yakuza fan. My personal second favorite game by RGG behind Yakuza 0. One of their best stories. Combat is super fun and Yagami's fighting style is incredibly satisfying, (Crane is…”

“going from yakuza 0 and kiwami 1 to this game is like take a really huge leap. The controls get better, the combat is more fluid, the cutscenes are beautiful. the story is engaging too, the types of mechanics in this…”
“Judgment delivers a gripping, cinematic detective narrative packed with emotional weight, seamlessly blending legal drama with Yakuza-style street action.Its richly detailed Kamurocho, engaging side content, and tight…”

“iffy localization and weird western title change aside, this game feels like its just build up for Lost Judgment, the gameplay is only moderately better than K2 (which is still really bad compared to older engine…”

“Excellent story, gameplay, and characters. The side stories are nice, but unfortunately locked behind Reputation, which means befriending everybody, which can be tedious.”
“i was exspecting a RGG game that think more gameplay mechanics equals more fun and a story that think trying to be a big deal is a good think... and i got exactily that the game keeps intrupting me to show me the side…”
“The first chapter is very long (3-4 hours) and makes you hate the game. After the 1st chapter the game starts to be likeable and fun, I enjoyed the game although not being into the "detective" game type”

“While I may not have vibed with the courtroom drama stuff as much as I vibe with the usual Yakuza game fair, it's really fun experiencing this universe through a different lens... even if its gameplay does often still…”
“4/5 Stars Has potential to be a 5-star game but is weighed down by a few annoying systems such as mortal wounds, the Keihen gang, and excessive tailing missions. Story is good but has a lot of eyebrow-raising content…”

RGG Studio (Yakuza) games can be a bit of a beast to play in terms of time commitment, so I'll start off by stating I'm writing this after wrapping on the main story, right at 50 hours with minimal side activity. I don't…”
