Reasons to be Excited About Judgment PS5 Upgrade
Judgment was only released on PS4 when it came out in 2019, sorely limiting the opportunity for the growing Yakuza audience to experience Yagami’s story. Luckily, with this 2021 re-release, not only will Judgment be available on PS5, but it will see its debut on Xbox Series X/S, and Stadia.
Experiencing Judgment’s gripping detective drama is now all the easier and any fan of Yakuza should not sleep on this spin-off. Takayuki Yagami is no Kazuma Kiryu, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
As a former defense lawyer turned private eye, Yagami is forced to navigate the morally gray areas of detective work as he works outside the law to catch a serial killer. While the staple Yakuza shenanigans will ensue, Judgment tells a story of loss and redemption that stands apart from the tongue and cheek, action movie plots of the Yakuza games.
Judgment may take place in a familiar setting and include all the classic Yakuza elements, but its story and an incredible cast of characters make it a completely fresh experience, and one of the best from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
