Recenze Lost Judgment » Vortex
Although we didn’t expect that much at first, the Yakuza spin-off called Judgment was continued. The Lost Judgment follows approximately three years after the familiar events of the original game and tells another story of Detective Jagami. This time he will go to Yokohama and most of the game will be on the ground of the local elite high school. The topic will be bullying, sexual harassment, criticism of the social and judicial system and, most importantly, the huge contradiction of the protagonist. Act according to law or take justice into your own hands? The Lost Judgment shows that, despite all this, perhaps absurd humor for a European can be a surprisingly serious and hilarious game that puts before it a great story and a plethora of supporting characters. Not everyone will like you, not everyone will like you, but even that lies a certain naturalistic charm of the game, which fits perfectly into the already created mosaic.
Of course, it’s not without flaws – the lower rating is due to the technical processing, a lot of glitches, strange camera angles and, most importantly, breaking the tempo, which is really annoying in places. Also, detective mini-games don’t give the full impression and sometimes turn into a needle hunt in a haystack. An unpleasant issue, but quite expected by the conditions of the Japanese games, is also the lack of dubbing in the side dialogues, which, however, with regard to the processing of the game form a significant part of the entire content. Nevertheless, if you are a fan of the Yakuza series and you liked the first part, you will definitely enjoy where Ryu Ga Gotoku’s studio went this time. And God forbid for real-time duels, after Yakuza: Like a Dragon, it’s a very enjoyable refreshment!
- Perfect fights, even if their course doesn’t change in principle
- Sophisticated, serious and mature story full of twists and unpleasant topics
- A plethora of main and supporting characters with elaborate characters
- Sense of micro details in the environment of both playable districts and high school
- Lots of minigames are very detailed and you can talk about in-game games
- A myriad of glitches, strange camera angles and unexpected dashboard crashes
- Some missions are very lengthy, although the player knows exactly what to do
- Detective passages sometimes turn into finding a needle in a haystack
- Slowing down the pace at which the overall atmosphere suffers the most
Lost Judgment is a great game that suffers from a few annoying shortcomings, but fans will undoubtedly be happy. Another case of Detective Jagami is duly serious and raw, so you will really enjoy the coveted adult drama with a lot of twists and overlaps in unpleasant topics. Even so, the game remains playful in the spirit of the previous part and can conjure a smile on its lips, for example, thanks to interesting characters or hilarious mini-games, which are unexpectedly elaborate. The duel also claims music, presents a new fighting style, and even though the course of battles is always the same, they did not stop entertaining us until the end.
