Lost Judgment is better than Judgment. Maybe the story of the first game is a bit better, but the gameplay makes up for it. The combat is much better with 3 styles (4 if you got the DLC) and I really enjoyed the MRC side stuff with the school. I liked most of the minigames that you did with the school stuff.
There were barely any tailing missions (I can't even think of any other than the first one and certain ones on side cases) and the stealth sections were fun enough when they weren't frustrating. I like that there is more to do when it comes to detective work. I am also happy that they got rid of all of the annoying stuff from the first game, mainly mortal wounds.
Also, The Kaito Files DLC is amazing.

(I played the PS5 version, but that isn't an option.)
The story was the best part of this. I do have more complaints than praises however. Only one of the combat styles was good. That was Tiger, the one that is kinda meh is Crane.
The tailing missions were annoying. But there were more annoying things in this game than the tailing. The constant stuff with the Gangs was super annoying. I never bothered to even progress with it but apparently even after you beat them they still appear. Mix dodging those boss fight with the mortal wound mechanic and you get an absolute drag of an open world. I also didn't care too much for the mini-games, or lack of them. If anything, play this for the story.
