Outside certain parts in the middle like Chapter 7 being slow, straight up perfect game that kept me hooked from start to finish. Amazing balance between the suspense of the mystery crime thriller drama and chemistry between the boys in the Detective Agency which is all the hallmarks and strengths of a good RGG game. I love how this game gives us a different perspective, it has a more grounded feeling compared to the Yakuza games as we view Kamurocho from the lens of families not on top of the chain yet the stakes are just as high.

Yagami's character writing in this game from start to finish is absolutely brilliant. He's already one of my favorite characters in RGG with the way his story arcs unfolds where he ran away from the truth for the longest time yet still being the one who strives towards justice. The ending to the game was also haunting, they really should have been the main title Judge Eyes cuz of how well it ties into the ending fr.

Every game RGG has made since Yakuza 0 onwards have been non stop bangers, its only upwards from here
