After a lengthy legal battle, both theJudgmenttitles have finally made their way to the PC. The twoYakuzaspin-offs take a look ata private detective named Takayuki Yagami, who uses a combination of his investigative skills and mastery of combat to solve various cases, deal with any hooligans, and save innocents. He might be considered as the weakestYakuzaprotagonist in the eyes of many fans, but players who love the series and its gameplay loop will be more than satisfied with the other parts of these titles.

Of course, the advent of these two games on PC means that mods are bound to play a role here too. Keeping this in mind, here are some of the bestJudgmentmods that fans of the title should definitely try out.
10Judgment Pierre Taki Restoration Patch
Kyohei Hamura is a pretty major character inJudgment, with his likeness and voice being given by well-known Japanese actor Pierre Taki. Unfortunately, due to legal problems stemming from drug use,Pierre Taki was removed and replaced in the game’s western releases.
Judgmentpurists can opt to play the game as intended withthe Pierre Taki Restoration Patch. True to its name, it brings back both the likeness and voice of this actor to the PC release ofJudgment, making for a more authentic experience.
9DLSS 2.0 Mod
AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution, more commonly known as FSR, is a pretty novel solution that tweaks game performance to run at higher resolutions despite the high graphical requirements. However, this solution still pales in comparison to NVIDIA’s DLSS, which is the best super-sampling solution to increase performance with little to no visual drawbacks.
Unfortunately, the base game ofJudgmentonly has FSR 2.1.This can be changed with a modthat replaced this solution with the vastly superior DLSS 2.0.
8Straight To Menu JE
Most modern AAA games feature many logos and intro videos before players can reach the main menu.Judgmentis no exception to this golden rule, and most people might not appreciate the long wait they have to go through before starting the game.

So, it goes without saying that modders have come to the rescue in this department as well.The Straight to Menu JE moddoes exactly what is stated in the mod title and lets players jump into theJudgmenttitle screen from the very moment they start the game.
7Faster Style Switching
Switching styles inJudgmentis crucial to mastering combat. Different styles work best for varying scenarios, but the fact that style switching takes time might frustrate players who’ve clocked in a ton of time into the game as is.
With Faster Style Switching, this issue becomes a thing of the past. Yagami switches styles twice as fast with this mod, letting players wipe the floor with enemies in record time.
6Judgment Cheat Table
It’s only a matter of time before cheats would come up for a game released on PC, andJudgmentis no exception here. WiththeJudgmentCheat Table mod, players can customize and tweak pretty much all the metrics in the game to suit their fancy.
These cheats include infinite health, no mortal wounds, infinite EX gauge, and keeping the threat level at 0% for an indefinite period. Suffice it to say,these cheats turnJudgmentinto a breeze, so players should only use these cheats if the need comes up in any way.
5DisguiseAnytime For JE
Just like the normalYakuzagames, Yagami can’t change his outfit in the base game unless the story mandates the same. Having to unlock Premium Adventure to get access to all costumes can be a major pain.
This issue is fixed withthe following modthat lets players change outfits in Story Mode whenever they see fit. Being able to change in any outfit and beat enemies up is a neat part of the overall experience that fans will have a great time with.
4Judgment Unlock Every Skill
MostYakuzagames feature a natural sense of progression that lets them unlock moves as the story moves on, andJudgmentis no exception here. This lets players feel quite powerful as they slowly unlock great moves for all three styles.
If players want to break this progression and get all the moves they want in one go, thenthis mod is perfect for them. It removes the cost for every skill, although the skills locked behind QR Codes won’t be unlocked in the same manner.
3BD Yagami
Yagami’s default outfit is pretty great and a fitting look for his character. However, there are times when players might want his look to be somewhat different.

2Proper Ultrawide (For All Languages)
PlayingJudgmenton ultrawide screens is definitely a treat for the ages. However, there are times when the game doesn’t make full use of this ultrawide, using black letter boxesduring cutscenes and the like.
This is wherethe Proper Ultrawide modcomes into the picture. True to its name, it ensures that ultrawide resolutions don’t encounter these black letter boxes in any given situation, leading to a more immersive and less jarring experience.
1Lost Judge Eyes Or Yagami On Crack
Lost Judgmentis a great sequel that improves on a ton of things present in the first game. Notable changes include faster combat, instant style changes, and increased opportunities for juggling enemies.
All of these changes are integrated inJudgmentwith this mod. Suffice it to say, battling enemies in the game becomes all the more exciting with all these modern innovations, especially for people who’ve already played the game before!
