Destructoid: 7.5 / 10 by Chris Carter
I appreciate that the Yakuza studio wanted to try something different with Judgment, even if the biggest deviations are the absence of the bankable character Kazuma Kiryu and the addition of some detective busywork. Given that said work is typically brief, this is an easy one to recommend to Ryu Ga Gotoku acolytes and folks with patience.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Chris White
Judgment is shinier, prettier, and more powerful on next-gen. Ryu Ga Gotoku has done a fantastic job of improving the game's biggest plus point, the combat, as well as sharpening up the textures and resolution.
Eurogamer: by Martin Robinson
Sega's spin-off has a few ideas of its own as it takes a detective's perspective on Kamurocho, though it all ends up feeling a little flat.
Judgment Description
Project JUDGE is an action adventure game, whose plot and atmosphere refer to thrillers and crime stories. The player takes on the role of a detective who conducts a difficult investigations and fights the criminal underworld. The authors of the popular Yakuza series, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, are responsible for creating this title.
Story
In the game we play as man named Takayuki Yagami. He is a former lawyer who, after a personal tragedy, decided to personally take care of the prosecution of criminals. A terrifying serial murder brings his dark memories to the surface and forces the protagonist to face the demons of the past.
Mechanics
In JUDGE project we observe the action from TPP. The title is an extensive action adventure game, consistsing of such elements as exploration of a three-dimensional environment, interrogation of witnesses, tracking suspects (we can dress up to deal with this task more effectively) or collecting evidence (the creators took care of a special mode, reminiscent of the witcher senses from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, thanks to which important objects are illuminated). The production also has an interesting, arcade combat system resembling the games from the Yakuza series.
Game modes
JUDGE Project offers only solo mode.
Technical aspects
JUDGE project features very attractive three-dimensional visuals. Advanced lighting system, detailed environment, as well as realistic and perfectly animated character models make a great impression.

Like a Dragon / Yakuza Series
Yakuza (Japanese. Ryu ga Gotoku - Like a Dragon) is a series that began as TPP action adventure games, while in 2020 began a love affair with the jRPG genre. The essence of gameplay in productions under this banner are spectacular clashes, in which we mostly use our own fists, white weapons such as clubs or samurai swords, as well as elements of the environment, such as trash cans or bicycles. Firearms are present, but usually do not play a major role. The protagonists have numerous fighting styles, which we can upgrade. Of great importance are impressive finishers, in which opponents are eliminated in a particularly impressive way.
