Backlog 2025 July - Game 1 - Lost Judgment

Lost Judgment - PlayStation 5


Completed July 6th

What can I say about Lost Judgment that I have not said about previous Yakuza/ Like a Dragon games?

Lost Judgment is the sequel to Judgment a Yakuza/Like a Dragon spin off.

In tradition for the series the main story is super serious and deals with many difficult topics and the side content in a contrast is the usual bonkers over the top fun that the series is known for.

The game is partly set in Kamurocho and also in the setting of Yakuza 7 which is Yokohama.

This time you can ride a skateboard around the streets.

Sequel to Judgment a Yakuza/Like a Dragon spin off.

A group of the side missions are set in a mini story called School sessions and more side stories within the mini story are unlocked by progressing in mini games such as boxing, skateboarding and even playing rounds of Virtua Fighter 5, but that Robotics mini game is not that great.

To sum it up the game is Incredible.

Score 9.5/10

 



At the moment I am trying to catch up on the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series as I stopped after 6 as that felt like the end of the story for the main protagonist.

Still have to play: Like a Dragon - The Man Who Erased His Name

Still to buy: Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth and Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

A new game has been announced called Stranger than Heaven by the developers which looks like it could be another spin off similar to Judgement and Pirate Yakuza. 

Also a remaster of Ishin is a game I may buy (I have played the previously Japanese only released version and used the video translation that is available online).
