The story
Judgment (Judge Eyes: Shinigami no Yogen), the hit game starring Takuya Kimura, is on sale on Steam at an all-time low of 75% off — just ¥745. The original story comes from Denfaminicogamer. In a thread on 5ch’s “Hardware/Industry (Geha)” board, alongside reactions to the sale itself, users compared this game’s quality to its sequel Lost Judgment, with some pointing out that the series’ quality seems to track directly with how involved director Toshihiro Nagoshi is — opinions on the game itself were split.
Honestly, I wish they’d priced it at ¥754 instead.

What people said
I just cleared out games I'll never play again from my library.
Deleting both Kimutaku games freed up over 100GB. Feels great ♡
This one was actually really good.
At the very least, within the Like a Dragon series, this is the most fun one, hands down.
Lost Judgment is far from trash, it's actually a pretty great game.
People are only split on the ending and Professor Sawa, and way too many who haven't even played it are misreading what that split actually means.
Aside from the nonstop Sawa-bashing, I'd call it a great game.
What a waste.
You should play it, it really pulls you in.
people don't even know that much about her to begin with.
Realistically people don't turn their lives around that easily, but there was still some sense of redemption there.
Also, Yagami being kind to the bullied kid was great.
Re: #21
Bullying is the whole theme after all, but I think it's impressive the game was willing to dig into that subject at all.

Why's everyone except the guy in the middle look like they've aged? lol
In FF everyone's got the same face lol
Just different hairstyles.
Everything RGG Studio's put out since has been garbage, so Lost Judgment is RGG Studio's peak.
Seriously, whether Nagoshi's involved or not makes a blatant difference in quality.
Don't you feel that rush when Kaito and the others show up to help?
Doesn't it mean anything to you that Azuma keeps getting dragged into it but still fights his hardest anyway?
There's a mod for that.
Yeah, that's true actually.
Yeah, there was a lot of that reaction when it was first announced lol
But it won people over on merit.
so maybe another time.
If you like underwear-only games, I'd recommend Judgment
Can Kimutaku not do that?
Emi, Professor Sawa, Koda-san — every woman in the Judgment series who suffers ends up being cute.
Which is exactly why it makes you hate the villains even more lol
Back in the day you'd often see people drop real cash on a fully decked-out Kimutaku.
A fully microtransaction'd Kimutaku is just a minor gag at best.
More importantly, the main story is genuinely great — before you know it, you end up liking Kimutaku.
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Judgment is a spin-off of the Like a Dragon (Yakuza) series, known for its live-action-style presentation starring Takuya Kimura. After one of the original cast members was arrested on drug charges, the first game has continued to be sold with that actor’s face and voice replaced by another performer — which is what the thread’s exchange of “Bring back Pierre” and “There’s a mod for that” is referring to. As for the sequel, Lost Judgment, opinions were split over its story and its handling of the character Professor Sawa, with fans divided between favoring the first game and favoring the second. The thread also shared the view that the series’ quality hinges on how involved director Toshihiro Nagoshi is. Note that this sale marks an all-time low specifically for the Steam version — a distinction from physical copies or prices on other storefronts that readers may easily conflate.
