10 Video Game DLCs Better Than The Game

Lost Judgment is a highly entertaining game in its own right, albeit one that falls a little shy of the original Judgment in both the storytelling and especially the pacing stakes.

The next year, The Kaito Files DLC was released - a comparatively bite-sized six-hour standalone mini-campaign in which players control Yagami's partner Kaito - who, on the strength of this DLC, should probably lead his own full-fat game.

While some might decry this DLC's lack of side-quests, it's aggressively streamlined and all the better for it, focusing most of its energy on teasing out Kaito's charms and telling a snappy, concise story.

Even the most die-hard fans of the Yakuza series will surely concede that its verbose, molasses-slow storytelling clip can get exhausting after a while, and so playing a like-minded experience with the courtesy to wrap up in the time it'll take you to watch a single season of TV is downright refreshing.

Also, it rocks one of the best and most memorable final boss fights in the entire damn series, while taking a lighter, less-bleak tenor than Lost Judgment itself.
