Judgment (or the much better Japanese title: Judge Eyes) takes the brawling combat from the Yakuza series and mixes it into a detective story which brings along gameplay mechanics such as investigating, tailing, lockpicking, disguises, etc. Similar to Yakuza, you also have a wealth of minigames unrelated to the main campaign. Yakuza always had endearing characters but sometimes the plot got overly convoluted and muddled but Judgment has some of the best writing this studio has ever done. With a whole cast of great characters that get a satisfying arc along with a wonderful protaganist, the game presents an interesting story in its murder case that keeps you engaged throughout its various twists and turns. The dragon engine combat is a lot more refined than its iteration in Yakuza 6 and although the detective gameplay parts will be hit and miss for some people, I appreciated the change in pace.
