Lost Judgment
When a police officer discloses the murder of the student teacher who bullied his son to suicide, the twisted secrets of a Yokohama, high school bleed out. Nothing, in this case, is black and white.

“Significantly better in all aspects than it's predecessor - story, side content, characters, fighting. Yes, the ending gets messy, but I prefer it to the overdone plot of its predecessor.”

“Who would've thought that my favorite Yakuza game of all time would end up not even being a Yakuza game? Lost Judgement is a fantastic addition to the RGG game series, with tight and refined combat, a ton of optional content and a story that was very close to my heart and made…”
