Sega’s Judgment, Lost Judgment is now available on Steam

It is only last year that the future trial The series looked extremely bleak, courtesy of legal battles with the likes of star Takuya Kimura. It looks like that’s all cleared up, though, because both games aren’t just coming to PC, they’re already here.

And Here’s my review of the sequelWhich is better:

If you own a PC, have been remotely curious about Yakuza series But don’t know where to start, or if you should, I’m going to be bold here and suggest that these games might actually be the best jumping-off point in 2022. They’re smaller, more focused experiences, unburdened by the lore of the original series, and the action-based combat here is as fun as ever. Yakuza game

They’re one of my favorite PlayStation games of the last five years, and now they’re on PC and even more recently from Sega Yakuza The ports have been pretty good—they’re now instantly some of my favorite games on PC, too.
