The game is very mediocre in many aspects while also trying too hard (and failing) to replicate what uncharted does best.

Stealth sections feel forced, the shooting is clunky, puzzles are often too simple, and animations feel snappy instead of fluid; the game's story is decent but nothing exciting.

I'm honestly struggling to find good things about it, the game looks pretty sometimes...

“The only thing that can ever truly be fair to everyone is the truth” - Lost Judgment

The game tries to convey the message of how the law is a broken system with cracks and many problems even today, while not perfect it is the only thing we can truly hold on to and we should strive to better this system. Justice is subjective and the only thing that can free us from this and make everyone equal is the pursuit of the truth.

The characters are incredibly well written especially the “villains” and all follow the ideology mentioned before, even the title of the game fits the theme perfectly.

The general plot of the game is too simple in the sense that most of the plot twists were predictable in my opinion, and while this isn’t necessarily a bad thing since the plot feels well crafted and without holes, it gives off the feeling that a bigger plot twist could’ve been there to make it even more exciting.

The presentation of the game is stellar, the cutscenes, the dialogues, the voice acting, the fighting choreographies are top notch and the game looks visually incredible while achieving all of that and more.

The quantity and the quality of the side content is astonishing, the side quests are funny and clever, and the game offers many different school activities to participate in such as dance classes and robotics, all with their storylines and characters. The minigames which are the exact same as the first judgment are also here to add extra hours of fun.

The combat has evolved from the first judgment, now Yagami has 3 different fighting styles (4 with the dlc) which make combat encounters even more engaging. The game now also offers the possibility of juggling enemies more efficiently similarly to a fighting game making more fun doing a no damage boss compared to the first game, this is also possible thanks to the decision to making faster the switch between styles. Having said that in a few occasions the gameplay still feels a little clunky and not as perfect as other games in the series like Yakuza 0.
