Judgment, known in Japan as Judge Eyes: The Testament of the Shinigami, is an open world detective game spin-off of Sega's Yakuza series. The game stars Takuya Kimura, a famous Japanese actor and singer who has earned the title "The King of Ratings", as Takayuki Yagami, an ex-lawyer turned private detective at the Yagami Detective Agency who struggles to makes ends meet and throws himself into his work to distract himself from the guilt he carries from the fallout of his final case as a lawyer. He's joined by Masaharu Kaito, a former member of the Matsugane Family of the massive Yakuza organization, the Tojo Clan, who serves as Yagami's partner and closest friend as they investigate a series of gruesome murders where three Yakuza have been found dead in the streets with their eyes gouged out.
The game is set in the fictional city of Kamurocho, which is loosely based on the real-life Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, Tokyo. Despite being a spin-off of the long-running Yakuza franchise, this is really the only thing the two share; the story and characters of those games have no bearing on this one. It's kind of like watching two unrelated movies and recognizing that they were filmed in the same city. Judgment plays a lot like its predecessors, allowing you to explore the bustling city, enjoying meals at restaurants peppered all over town, play mini games as you see fit and defend yourself in bombastic fashion from thugs who just can't help but try to accost you at every turn; what's new are segments where you engage in detective work, ranging from tailing targets, to examining crime scenes for evidence. These segments can be hit or miss, but overall, they all make you feel like a badass detective solving cases in the seedier parts of a neon city.
