Lost Judgment (PS5)

So as a review the game is incredible. It's a great sequel and superior to the original Judgment in most areas. My only issue is that this was the EU version of the game so beware to any future US purchasers. Make sure you go ahead and buy the appropriate version of the game because if you get this one you won't be able to buy/use any DLC you purchase in the US store due to region locked constraints. As you'll see in the picture I posted it's the PEGI rating which is the EU version of the ESRB in the US. So just pay attention so you don't make the same mistake I did.

If you've loved the Yakuza series (up to Like a Dragon which has a different UI) and the first Judgment, you will love this. The familiar combat system feels even more refined and Yagami has a new style - Snake - which I use almost exclusively except for one-on-one boss battles.The side content (side cases and school stories) in this one is exceptional. The side cases are engaging, some of them bringing back NPCs from the first game, and the school stories are of equal quality - if not better - as the main story, each featuring a well thought out and developed minigame like dance offs, robot rally, bike racing and actual boxing. So far I have spent more time in school stories than the main one.A content warning regarding the main case: It features sexual harrassment as well as extreme bullying leading to a suicide at a school. It is handled reasonably sensibly but there are still some drastic moments which could be triggering.

One on my best five in Yakuza franchiseNot that big step forward like YakuzaLAD but still lot off improovments a complete seaquelFor Yakuza fans must have 10/10

If you want to try something a little different look no further, had an absolute blast with this game.

Bit slow for my liking. Great if you like stories.

A gift for my boyfriend who’s a big fan of this series. He loves it. Arrived on time
