Judgment is an action-adventure game with a third-person view from the creators of the Yakuza series. The game takes place in the same universe where the events of Yakuza took place, including the Tojo clan, but the story is completely different: a former lawyer turned private detective uncovers a secret that he would rather not know about. The game is largely similar in gameplay to Yakuza, but the main character knows more fighting techniques. Kamurocho, a city from the main series of games, where you can find many side quests, also remains in the game.
