Introduction

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the intriguing world of *Judgment*—a game where you can play as a hotshot lawyer turned private detective, Takayuki Yagami, who is as likely to throw down a Yakuza in a street brawl as he is to debate the merits of 'reasonable doubt' in court! So buckle up, because we’re diving deep into a criminal underbelly filled with intrigue, deception, and at least a few excessive takedowns that will leave you wondering how so few people are going to jail.

Gameplay

At its core, *Judgment* is a delightful mashup of brawling and sleuthing, where players can switch between stylish fighting and clumsy detective work. Yagami can punch and kick his way through Kamurocho like a martial arts movie star, wielding two fighting styles like a pro—but he might just trip over his own shoelaces when it comes time to find clues or tail a suspicious target. You know, typical detective stuff. The investigation gameplay feels somewhat like scavenger hunting but with more skill and way fewer sassy comments from your overly critical friend. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out, you end up staring at a suspicious shoe for ten minutes, trying to remember why you thought it might play a crucial role in solving the case.

Graphics

Now let’s talk about the visuals! This game is as pretty as a cherry blossom in full bloom (not that it’s blooming in the concrete jungle of Kamurocho). Powered by the Dragon Engine, the graphics are crisp, vibrant, and loaded with enough detail to make you do a double-take every now and then. Forget those nasty little bugs and glitches—this is next-gen smoothness at its finest. The streets of Kamurocho feel alive, bustling with NPCs that seem to be *way* too concerned with your personal affairs for their own good. I mean, can we let a detective have his secrets, please?

Conclusion

In conclusion, *Judgment* is a whirlwind of action, mystery, and glorious Japanese shenanigans that will leave you more than entertained. Sure, the detective side of things can feel like it's out of a horror film sometimes (because why would you want to see people's eyes being removed?), but the combat and camaraderie Yagami forges along the way make it worth every breadcrumb you follow. If you're into piecing together mysteries while delivering bone-crushing justice, this game is your ticket to that unforgiving city. Grab your controller and dive into this delightful detective adventure! 8.5 out of 10—because it’s good, but I still have questions about that mysterious shoe.
