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.

Played this through the Castlevania Advance Collection.

Don't have a whole lot to say about this game. I think Juste is one of my favorite Belmonts despite being labeled as a "nothing" character, since he doesn't bring too much as far as lore goes with the Belmont family tree. I think I'm just really into how he uses the sub-weapons and spellbooks with them as well, creating unique and fun-looking attacks.

The game does suffer from horrendous backtracking and it's very easy to get lost. I know you can do whatever you want with whatever order you get the relics in the game, but in my opinion, it just felt weird where things were placed, and traversing through the castle felt weirdly paced.

Also the music is awful.

I mainly played this game because I thought of an old friend of mine, and wanted to see if I could finish the game legitimately since the last time I played the game (easily over 10 years ago), I used an Action Replay, haha.
