A fun little DLC side story for Lost Judgment, where Kaito takes on a case that has a bit of a personal stake on it.

Honestly, with how depressing and heartwrenching stories that RGG have been producing lately (which isn't a bad thing), it was a nice breath of fresh air to see where The Kaito Files was going in the story.

Short and sweet, but really builds upon who Kaito is as a person, and how much he's changed since he's been with the Yagami Detective Agency. Technically/gameplay-wise, it isn't so different from the Lost Judgment base game, however, some parts of the game felt a little too long when you're using your detective/stealth modes. As far as the story goes, there were also some odd pacing story beats, but didn't seem to overly take away with what the game was trying to present.

Overall, I loved it even if it had those really small non-issues. Just felt like it was worth bringing up.

Surprising depth for a DLC and great at making every aspect feel purely Kaito's. Despite being clumsy at handling its scope sometimes it's a very heartfelt/bizarre story about devotion and honesty with ones past only RGG could've made, loved it! Not ranking or rating though

Great side piece to an already incredible game. It's short but does what it wants to perfectly. Kaito feels great to control, new music is great, and the fights are like always still fun as hell.

rather short, but the content this DLC provides has one of the best series of sequences and fights in the whole RGG universe

This replay really solidified my thoughts on how much I love Kaito and this expansion to his character, I'm so happy this exists.
Still the best romance in the Yakuza franchise.

Neat little story expansion that gives Kaito some much needed screen-time even if the amnesia and Shirakaba thing is completely pointless.

Definitely not worth 30$ however, 4 chapters 0 side content, the whole thing took me about 5 hours and Kaito's combat is basically just Brawler and Beast style without any of Yagami's flair (no leapfrog or wall jumps), not really all too creative.
