I'm amazed by how many 7/10's and 8/10's I've seen for this game. I'd happily give it a 9.5/10. If you love the first game, then you might love this one. I can't tell you how many times I cried while playing this game. It covers a wide range of sensitive topics, the two most obvious being bullying and sexual assault and other not-so-obvious topics such as unlawful "government workers" (in quotes because I don't wanna spoil who exactly), turning a blind eye, being desensitized to violence, and different psychology theories when it comes to defining justice. The story in this game has a much wider perspective of the inner workings of justice within society than the first game. So, I hope that more people will come to appreciate the lessons learned throughout the game. If the lessons weren't clear enough, then you'll hear them at the ending of course. Lastly, Lost Judgment seems much more realistic than Judgment. In Judgment, the villain doesn't seem to be the kind of guy I'd hear about in the news. Maybe there are people like him, but very rare to find them. On the other hand, Lost Judgment has characters that seem familiar, as if you could find other people like that in our schools, workplaces, and "government offices". I hope that the writers of the Judgment series continue to make more games.
