It can be a little clumsy to use in the usually crowded cities, while mapping it to the same button as sprinting makes very little sense in terms of user-friendliness.
The ability to skateboard around will help with covering long distances in both cities, both its implementation leaves much to be desired. Perhaps more of the same would have sufficed for this part of the gameplay. There is no harm in trying to implement the idea of investigative work more into the game, but these changes are hardly, well, game-changing from the original’s formula of spotting helpful clues in the environments. Being able to eavesdrop on hushed conversations, coupled with the use of the Buzz Researcher app to look into keywords and phrases and establishing the next point of investigation is one of the better additions, but things still feel weirdly out of place. Lost Judgment also features new parkour climbing action, stealth sequences that involve too much coin-throwing to distract guards, and more gadgets to help investigations. At least the latter has improved with the new feature of blending into the crowd, but it takes little away from the almost unnecessary gameplay inclusion. If you were not fond of the chase and tailing sequences from the original, then you will continue to find these activities tiresome. The additions to Yagami’s arsenal of investigation tools and techniques will come into play fairly early on, with a few questionable returns. However, getting to the good parts requires some clumsy additions on the players’ end. The initial portion of the main narrative makes some compelling drama, and allows Lost Judgment to play to its strengths. Just as before, Yagami and his crew will be discovering secrets, uncovering evidence, and attempting to untangle this web of mystery.
Lost judgment side cases full#
With the main suspect having a solid alibi of committing a different crime when the supposed murder took place, the case is one that hints at a mystery full of twists and turns, a familiar setup that should heighten fans’ expectations. The return of lawyer and private investigator Takayuki Yagami (played once again to perfection by Takuya Kimuya) sees a seemingly impossible case of murder unfolding before the public’s eyes. That’s not to say that Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s latest title is a subpar follow-up, but it most certainly does not live up to the high standards set by its predecessor when it comes to successfully marrying its main and subplots in one complete package.
