  The soundtrack is filled with excellent track after excellent track, effectively matching the emotions I should have had during the different moments. Even though it feels like they’ve lost a bit of the noir-inspired jazz from the first game and are now focusing more on guitar-driven tracks, the music still works. Plus, the voice acting is outstanding from top to bottom.

  Lost Judgment improves on almost every aspect of the first game and goes even further. Delivering a deeply profound narrative teeming with optional content and superb boss fights with a soundtrack that is ear-candy. Lost Judgment starts strong and finishes with a bang, leaving a feeling of uncertainty of what justice actually means.

  In its totality, Lost Judgment is a game that one can get invested in. While there are a couple of things that don’t live up to their hype, it’s still a game that’s fun and exciting. Those that pick it up should go at it with the understanding that the joy is in its action and activities, and that it should be enjoyed in its simplicity.

  Lost Judgement is a step up from the original in almost every way with improved pacing, a more polished combat engine and a laundry list of fun side activities to get lost in. If not for the pedestrian detective elements, this could’ve been a new classic in the genre, and despite its notable flaws, it is still a story well worth experiencing.

  Lost Judgment is more of the same with some fine-tuning, but there are no revolutionary updates. There are more activities than ever, but the interface is the very same. There is a more fluid spectacular combat system, but the AI is just the same. The analysis of the environment for clues still feels underdeveloped, and the tailing of people is still clunky, despite the new mechanics.

  As a whole, Lost Judgment is yet another strong outing for developer RGG Studio. Although this sequel is largely only a half step up compared to its predecessor, there's still so much to do in this world that can easily keep you entertained for hours on end.

  9.0

  Lost Judgment won me over. I used to consider its predecessor a good game, but one of the weakest titles in the Yakuza universe. This one is the complete opposite. It stands right next to Yakuza 0 and Like a Dragon in the pantheon of greatest titles in the series. The story is captivating, the combat system has been improved, the benefits of playing it with an improved framerate are excellent, and most importantly, I finally started giving a crap about Yagami. He is finally a protagonist worthy of having a series of his own.

  Lost Judgement is in my eyes a superb addition to the Yakuza series and is jam-packed with content. The graphics are great, the voice acting is great and the amount of activities that will distract you from the main quest is mind-blowing. It used the same formula which made its predecessors so much fun to play and improved on it. Even as dark and gruesome as the main story is there is always something around the corner in this game to put a smile back on your face.

  8.0

  A weaker overall story and some serious pacing issues prevent Lost Judgment from reaching the excellence of its predecessor, but this is still a fantastic character-driven detective drama. Crunching combat and a frankly ridiculous amount of impressively in-depth side content make this one of the most robust Yakuza-style offerings ever — and that's more than enough to outweigh the game's often obvious flaws.
