As I have mentioned at every opportunity before, I love the Yakuza series; I even scribbled something about why I love it so much, and it’s 🙂 As a result, I’ve enjoyed the side game Judgment of the series, and I’m looking forward to the sequel, Lost Judgment. The game is a week away from release; The review embargo, on the other hand, was lifted early, the first scores have already been shared.
As it turns out, the series continues as we’re used to, with scores at levels that are expected to be up and down. The average of 55 reviews shared on Opencriticis 84 points. In Metacritic,the average of 44 reviews shared for the PS5 version of the game is 83 points, while the average of 8 reviews shared for the Xbox Series X version is 81 points.
Let’s share some of the review scores as follows:
- Twinfinite – 5/5
- 33bits – 95/100
- Cultured Vultures – 9/10
- GamingBolt – 9/10
- Generación Xbox – 9/10
- Wccftech – 9/10
- Hardcore Gamer – 4.5/5
- Hobby Consolas – 89/100
- COGconnected – 85/100
- DualShockers – 8.5/10
- Stevivor – 8.5/10
- Spaziogames – 8.2/10
- Destructoid – 8/10
- GamesRadar+ – 4/5
- VGC – 4/5
- Game Informer – 7.3/10
- GameSpot – 7/10
- IGN – 7/10
- Shacknews – 7/10
- Digital Trends – 3/5
Some reviews show that there are some who do not find the story part very strong, while others consider it a painstaking study of ‘bullying/harassment’. Some have liked the newly added detective tools, some of whom say there has been little change in the game and not enough innovation. In general, it seems that the fighting/fighting parts are appreciated.
Long story short, the equation of tastes and colors has come into play here, which is natural, the Yakuza series in general is not a series that everyone will love and embrace, I accept that. Doing the same things over and over again, dealing with absurd issues, can seem absurd or boring to many. But there’s nothing you can do, I love it, what can I do:)
Lost Judgment is set to meet gamers on September 24. We’re looking forward to it, we’re following it very closely.
