Awesome sequel to the first game "Judgment", perhaps even better than the first one? Even if my playthrough of the previous game was a few years ago, it didn't take long until I was back in the universe of Yagami and his detective work. This time it takes the player to Seiryo High, a high school that is prone to bullying. It looks like they've brought back all the cool elements we knew from Judgment and added even more - you get a new fighting style quite early in the game, new minigames were added and old ones got enhanced. There even is a complete new map, so while you can still explore Kamurocho, most of the time you will be in the fictional Ijincho, which gave some fresh air into the plot.

Ryu Ga Gotoku follows the same recipe here as in their other Yakuza games, you get a pretty deep story which goes the emotional rollercoaster - one second being super emotional, then having something super hilarious happening, funny scenes and then proceed to the dark tone. And outside of the main story you have plenty of sidemissions or minigames that you can play. The High School even has it's own separate arc that you can follow. When I finished the Main Story, there was still so much stuff that I could do there and I really enjoyed it.

At some part the game became kind of a "grinding" game, where you would need to play certain games countless times, until something new happens. That was the part when I layed it down.
Still I thoroughly enjoyed Lost Judgment! People who liked the predecessor will surely like this one too. Be aware though that there are a lot of cutscenes and text boxes to read, so you need to pack some time when playing this game.
