Game Over: Lost Judgment

I started playing through the Yakuza series in 2020 and like most people I fell in love with Ryu Ga Gotoku games. I haven't played all of them - Yakuza: Dead Souls is still locked to the PlayStation 3 - but I was glad to have tied up Lost Judgment before the Like A Dragon: Ishin! remake released. I can move straight into that the moment it comes out!

Lost Judgment is a sequel to Judgment (which I finished about six months ago), set three years later. The Yagami Detective Agency is asked to help out with a case in the city of Isezaki Ijincho, trying to find out if there is bullying happening in a prestigious local school. There wouldn't be any plot if there wasn't, but also Yagami is pulled into a murder case when a body is discovered in an abandoned building.

I won't go into too many details about the plot, because that's always the best thing about these games in my opinion. Trying to work out how the mystery will twist and turn, see if I can solve things before the characters… I enjoy a good mystery.

And boy does Lost Judgment have mysteries! You’re asked to aid one of the school’s clubs, the Mystery Research Club (referred to as MRC). The club is looking into someone known as The Professor who has been helping out students who request it. The first case involves finding out which member of the Dance Club is going around town as a sugar baby (flirting with older men for money), which results in Yagami helping out said club.
