Yagami can fulfill these requests by taking on side missions and playing various minigames. The game also features a "School Stories" system, where Seiryo High School's Mystery Research Club president Kyoko Amasawa requests Yagami investigate and assist other clubs and students in order to solve a greater mystery. New to Lost Judgment is the "Detective Dog", a Shiba Inu named Ranpo whom Yagami can take on walks to find hidden items or track suspects via their scent. The trailing sections of the game have been changed in order to give the players more activity in the segment. Īs in the previous game, Lost Judgment also features stealth segments, platforming segments, and "tailing" missions where Yagami chases suspects around the city. In addition to the crowd-control Crane style and the one-on-one Tiger style from Judgment, Yagami uses the newly added Snake style for counterattacking and disarming enemies. Yagami can switch between three fighting styles in battle. In Lost Judgment, the player controls Takayuki Yagami as he explores the Japanese cities of Kamurochō and Isezaki Ijincho (recreations of the real-life Kabukichō and Isezakichō districts, respectively). He can be called in to help Yagami find hidden items and clues. Yagami walks around the streets of Ijincho with a Shiba Inu named Ranpo. Downloadable content in the form of new sidequests and a story expansion focused on Yagami's partner Masaharu Kaito was also released. The gameplay was also praised, particularly the new improved fighting styles, but the stealth and parkour moves were often noted to be poorly developed. Nevertheless, Yagami and the cast were well received. The plot was generally praised for handling multiple controversial subjects in a serious manner though the pacing and style was the subject of mixed responses. Like its predecessor, the game received positive reviews from critics. Major Japanese voice actors include the returning Takuya Kimura (Yagami) and the newcomers Hiroshi Tamaki (Soma) and Koji Yamamoto (Kuwana) whose characters rival Yagami as the writers wanted their stories to explore the subject of bullying and whether or not Yagami has the power to stop it.
Lost Judgment is the directorial debut of Kazuki Hosokawa who aimed to make it superior to its predecessor on which he worked as producer while attempting to also create an appealing narrative.
