Wanna be a detective? Well, grab your magnifying glass and your finest trench coat, because 'Lost Judgment' is here to whack you over the head with a story! Not literally, of course—mostly just metaphorically as you grapple with issues like bullying, crime, and the intricate lives of high school students. In this perfectly absurd combo of detective work, parkour, and serious themes, buckle up for a rollercoaster ride that’ll have you laughing and questioning life’s tough moral dilemmas all at once.
'Lost Judgment' drops you into the shoes of Takayuki Yagami, a private detective with a penchant for jumping off rooftops (and maybe a few speed limit laws). Expect all the sneaky, steely spy stuff—cunning tailing missions where you must blend into the crowd, engage in martial arts brawls with dudes who skipped leg day, and duct tape your way around stealth segments that are often as fluid as a toddler trying to walk. And don’t forget to enjoy life with the mini-games where you can dance, box, and yes, make friends with a Shiba Inu named Ranpo. Who wouldn’t want a cute dog helping in investigations, right?
'Lost Judgment' is like that high school kid who just discovered makeup and now looks stunning—it’s absolutely gorgeous! The characters look sharper than my ex’s comments when I was dumped, and the environments scream realism, bringing Kamurochō and Isezaki Ijincho to life with all their neon glory. Honestly, if your eyeballs had taste buds, they’d be feasting right now on this beautifully rendered feast of colors and details. Even the cutscenes look better than some movies I’ve watched recently.
In essence, 'Lost Judgment' is an emotional rollercoaster wrapped in humorous bravado, delivering a gripping narrative packaged with engaging gameplay. Sure, there's a tendency to stumble into plot elements that might just have you scratching your head, but when you’re playing detective with a cute dog by your side, how can you really complain? So pop in that disk, grab your detective hat (and that Shiba Inu), and get ready to dive into this mix of laughter and heartfelt moments. It’s a solid 8.5-out-of-10 for me—check it out, or at least walk your dog while contemplating life’s mysteries!
