The verdict
A polished, flashy brawler with a big pile of side content and an emotional bullying-themed mystery. Skip it if you want a tight Judgment-style thriller or hate filler minigames and slow pacing.
Great for
Yakuza/Judgment fans who want stylish multi-style combat, tons of side content and a heavy moral story
Main risk
The story, Sawa-sensei repetition and padded school minigames can drag or disappoint after the first Judgment
What players love
Huge amount of side content and minigames
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“the game is packed with an absurd amount of high-quality content. The School Stories alone”
