Not a replay, just a better review. The last one was a bit too negative.
Judgment has a strong synopsis. A murder mystery set in Kamurocho with the killer's motif being the gouging of each victim's eyes, it's admittedly compelling. Sadly, the way the story is told doesn't really fit the energy of the synopsis, constantly taking pitstops whenever the plot starts revving up and feeling the need to overexplain the case. It's combat shows a solid foundation which does not follow through on everything (especially the balance) but it can feel great when you're bouncing from enemy-to-enemy.

Such a remarkably fresh experience. I don't want more Catherine games but I'd like to see Atlus make more weird and out there titles. Wish there wasn't any transphobia, whenever it appeared it just killed the mood. Got the Bad Lover ending.
