Noire has already done the rounds on the trusty PS3, it’s subsequent remastering on PS4 has opened it up to a whole new audience. Judgment then is a decidedly more action-packed affair than many of the other offerings in this list, but its Tokyo setting combined with its sleuthing mechanics all add up to make it utterly irresistible all the same. Though Judgment is broadly similar to the core Yakuza games in many ways, especially in regards to combat, minigames and balance of absurd and serious tones, it embraces a whole range of new mechanics that arguably make it far more of a more methodical, investigative affair.ĭuring his investigation, Yagami will find himself having to talk to witnesses and suspects, use multiple dialogue choices to get the bottom of what they know (or what they don’t know), perform forensic searches, trail suspects and leverage evidence to prove culpability. Throw in a stunning 1-bit, retro veneer that utterly separates Return of the Obra Dinn from anything else on the market, and you have a winner.Ī spin-off from the famed Yakuza series, Judgment puts players in the shoes of Takayuki Yagami, a former high-flying lawyer who after his acquittal of a murderer results with him brutally re-offending, ends up setting up his own detective agency to pursue the unsavory sorts that lurk in the underbelly of Kamurocho. Where Return of the Obra Dinn really excels though, is in how it allows players a substantial degree of latitude when it comes to proclaiming judgement on the identities and fates of each of the crew members placing a real premium on logic based investigation in the process. Set in deepest, darkest Falmouth in the early 1800s, Return of the Obra Dinn is a first person detective adventure that casts players as an insurance investigator for the East India Trading Company – and your task? To investigate the Obra Dinn trade ship that has come to rest in Cornish waters, and more importantly, what caused the death of all 60 crew members.īy using the Momento Mori, an arcane compass that allows you to venture back into the memories of the dead, you can identify not just who the crew members are against records, notes and conversations that you have heard, but also attempt to parse the manner in which they perished. Return of the Obra Dinn is utterly unlike any other game in this feature.
