More specifically, Mikiko and her son Jun. Rather, we get to meet new characters who are more interesting than he is. What makes The Kaito Files so great isn’t learning about him. Kaito plays the part of a loyal friend who will help the ones he loves really well, but outside of that there isn’t much more to him. It’s ironic to think such a thing, as The Kaito Files only cements the idea that Kaito doesn’t work as a main protagonist long term. This context made me wonder if The Kaito Files was a way to test out the potential of Kaito starring in the lead role of a hypothetical third Judgment game. Is this the end? Image via Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio/SEGA With this in mind, going into The Kaito Files I couldn’t help but theorize that this is the final piece of the series. Apparently, SEGA is refusing the agency’s demands, making fans assume the worst for the franchise. Yagami’s likeness is based on his Japanese voice actor and the agency that represents him doesn’t want to see either Judgment game release on PC. Mainly because this may possibly be the last Judgment game, due to a legal dispute. Going into The Kaito Files, I had theories about where this new story was going to take not just Kaito, but Yagami and the rest of the cast that fans of the series have come to know and love. The tool is available, but it feels too loose and inconsistent if there are too many enemies around. ![]() In short, combat keeps all the fun things and suffers from the same problems as its predecessors, specifically locking on to targets. Because the difficulty was never super challenging, I didn’t feel inclined to use Kaito’s tank stance over his bruiser. The trade-off is that his movement feels slow and clunky. ![]() His tank stance is more defensive, allowing him to absorb a lot of damage. His bruiser form is on the offensive side, able to dish out major damage. Kaito too has different stances to approach fights. In combat, things aren’t very different from Yagami. It does play off a stereotype of Kaito being menacing and intimidating like a beast, but it doesn’t feel like an insult, as this is what Kaito does to succeed as a detective. Being big and broad, he uses his primal focus, which gives him a keen sense of smell and hearing. Instead of the abilities that we used as Yagami, RGG Studio implements mechanics that make sense for Kaito and the person he is. Kaito may not be as sharp as Yagami, but this story shows that he can handle his own. This opens the curtain to Kaito’s past life in the yakuza and the sacrifices he made during that time. She happens to be Mikiko, Kaito’s ex-girlfriend of almost twenty years. Until, that is, a man comes offering millions of yen to find his missing wife. Yagami is out of town on business, meaning that Kaito is the one in charge of running the Yagami Detective Agency. Absentee Image via Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio/SEGA The Kaito Files, which takes place after the events of Lost Judgment, gives us a level of intimacy that explores more of Kaito’s past life, but it also shows how much this series relies on Yagami as the central character. The working partner and best friend of series protagonist Yagami, I found Kaito to be charismatic and loyal, but we never really learned much about his character over the past two games. Throughout each game, there was one character whose background I really wanted to learn more about: Kaito. Each time the credits rolled I wanted more time to spend with the characters. I recommend you wait to pick this game up until it is $15.Playing through both Judgment and Lost Judgment in 2021, I quickly fell in love with the main cast of Yagami, the Yagami Detective Agency, and Genda Law. Or at least the English voice acting is bad. Not to mention that the story is garbage in this game with bad voice acting. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. So once you beat the story, there is not a reason to touch this game again. I've seen PS4 titles with way better animations. All the developers did in this game is put pretty colorful lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun. When I pay $60, I expect a combat system with depth and detail. The combat in this game is boring and repetitive. The This game has an interesting open world and I did like some of the minigames and side quests.
