Truly an amazing experience. While I do personally think the early pacing of the first game was slightly better, this game improved on nearly everything else, having a new fighting style and building upon previous mechanics led to a very fun combat system. The main story is still a great pillar of the game, with emotional moments and serious ideas explored with the interesting perspective provided by Yagami. The side content is quite enjoyable, and there’s a wide variety of options with the school story system that felt very fresh, reminiscent of Yakuza 5 and the many playable characters. This game isn’t perfect; but it has so much to offer, and the themes of truth and one’s “justice” were executed in tandem with a fun cast and intriguing story, allowing me personally to say this is my current favorite game from RGG studios, and a great sequel to Judgment/Judge Eyes.
