Prepare to get judged.
Judgment

Sega announced that Judgment is now available for the PlayStation 4 today. Technically, the digital version was released last week, but for those that wanted the physical release, today is your day. Thanks to our Judgment review, at least you know that the wait was worth it, right?

Shameless self-promotion out of the way, let's talk about the game itself, shall we? Judgment is a game not completely dissimilar to the Yakuza titles. Only this time, you play not as as former member of the Yakuza but as Detective Takayuki Yagami as he's looking to get to the bottom of some pretty grim cases.

This latest offering from the Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio is available now for the PlayStation 4. I'm not sure if it will come to PC eventually as the first three Yakuza titles did, but hopefully one day! The launch trailer is available in both English and Japanese varieties, just like the game itself is.



Physical editions of Judgment include a reversible cover featuring the original Japanese cover art for the game, along with a Ryu ga Gotoku Studio sticker. Players who pre-order the digital edition of Judgment will receive a static theme featuring the game's stalwart protagonist, Takayuki Yagami, as a bonus upon checkout.
