Gritty just got pretty

Title: Judgment Platform: Xbox, PlayStation, Stadia Genre: Action RPG Price: £34.99 Age rating: 18+

This Yakuza spinoff looks sharp as it makes the upgrade to next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X, taking full advantage of the graphic potential. First released in 2019, gameplay itself is not much different, nor is the story, which focuses on disgraced attorney Takayuki Yagami looking for redemption, while working as a private detective investigating a series of nasty murders. The story remains as gripping and gritty as before, even those not familiar with the wider Yakuza series; it really doesn’t matter. It is unfortunate that previous PS4 buyers are not entitled to a free upgrade, which may not make it entirely worthwhile if you fall under that category, unless you’re a big fan and want to see it at its very best. Skip to the end: A well-crafted graphical upgrade for a gripping murder mystery story arch.

SCORE: 8/10
