Why play it

Play as the muscle of the Yagami Detective Agency, Masaharu Kaito, and take on a new case that ties up loose ends of his past in The Kaito Files. Kaito brings his own Primal Focus detective techniques and two beastly fighting styles to challenge new foes and crack the case with a distinct Kaito swagger. Following the events of Lost Judgment, Kaito starts a lucrative case while Yagami is out of town that unexpectedly has him searching for his old flame, Mikiko. Along the way, Kaito encounters a teenager claiming to be their son and team up to uncover the truth behind Mikiko's disappearance. Now Kaito stands at the crossroads of past and present while up against a syndicate tied to Kamurocho’s criminal underbelly. But why did Kaito and Mikiko split up, and what does this dark fraternity have to do with her?

Aside from the near total lack of side content, The Kaito Files has everything that you'd expect from a Yakuza-style experience. Its shorter length actually works in its favour, allowing for a well paced story that doesn't get caught up on overplayed plot points or filler missions. As RGG Studio's first crack at a proper expansion, it's a roaring success.

Kaito's solo adventure is a thrilling side story to Lost Judgment and explores a new side to Yagami's sidekick with a new, compelling storyline.

One to get for the characters and story, especially if you can't get enough of the base game.

‎If an entirely new game were to come out starring Kaito, that would be more than welcome. Yagami and Kaito may not be Kiryu, but every Yakuza enthusiast also walks away with these games. They are two interesting characters of which many more stories may be released. It's a bit of digging into the pouch, but then you also have something. Just keep in mind that the ‎‎bad guy‎‎ is quickly known, unless you play with blinders on. Yet there is still plenty to do afterwards!‎

The Kaito Files is a DLC that, while a bit pricey, is a must-have for fans of the Yakuza series.

The Kaito Files is everything a DLC needs to be, bringing new elements to its combat, in addition to a very good story, which impacts the future of the franchise and justifies its existence. The only downside is its price and duration. If you're a fan of the base game, you'll really enjoy this expansion.

Perhaps The Kaito Files is a bit expensive for its duration, but the quality of the narrative and the way in which all the details have been pampered to make the experience of handling Kaito something different make it essential content. for all those who have been left wanting more after the end of Lost Judgment.

‎Lost Judgment: Kaito's Dossier is a great DLC that's a must for fans of the character or those who were left wanting more after finishing the main game. It honors the character and completes his story.‎

Lost Judgment - The Kaito Files stands out as an extremely welcome revisitation that introduces us to a very interesting character who, unfortunately, ends up being sidelined to the detriment of the titular main character, with an agile plot worthy of the franchise.
