Enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to, especially considering it's poor reception. Definitely an interesting decision to wedge it between seasons 2 and 4, I'm glad Clementine was still in it but it would've been nice if her story was told separately to this one maybe.
The family dynamic was good though, Javi is no Lee or Clem but he's still a good protag. My biggest issue would have to be with the bias it suffers from, with new players like myself trusting Clem at first sight even though that doesn't really make sense in character. Overall it still stands on its own as a solid game.

Lost Judgment is a lot better than it’s predecessor but sadly it still hits a lot of the same snags. The tailing and chase segments aren’t really improved but the school clubs side quests are much more fun and engaging than what was in the first game.
It’s a shame they’re so unbalanced, with boxing having a load of opponents while dancing only has 4 songs, but it’s still been fun for the most part and only really started to lose me ~60 hours in.
The plot is also improved in my opinion, it’s still not Yakuza level but I care more about this than I did the first game. interested to see how it plays out

The more I think about this game the more I wonder if it’s actually my favourite in the series. Ichiban is a protagonist of the same calibre as Kiryu for sure and the entire feel is just so on point for what it wants to be. It did not feel like 135 hours.
Only gripe is the stupid fucking secret bullshit insanely hard lame dumb ridiculous hidden dungeon that’s stopping me getting the platinum>:(

Of the few Sherlock games I've played this one was my favourite. Still clunky in some ways but the cases were pretty good and the way that you piece clues together was more interesting than in some of the others. Holds your hand quite a lot but plenty of room for a dumbass like me to feel kinda smart

Amazing. The dungeon structure/combat hasn’t aged all that well imo and some of the dialogue is clearly outdated by today’s standards, but overall this was really enjoyable and easily stands up against the much newer and more polished Persona 5
The characters themselves aren’t quite as fulfilling, and some of the minor social links especially aren't satisfying at all, but the main group dynamic as a whole surpasses that of the Phantom Thieves. The party members are still fun and the story is great, so while it could never hope to be as smooth or stylish as its successor, Persona 4 Golden’s overall quality doesn’t feel very much like a step down at all.
