4. The Mole - Judgment

Everyone loves a good murder mystery, and a murder mystery that slowly unravels into a "hunt the serial killer" setup is one of the most entertaining variants around.

Enter Judgment, Yakuza developer Ryu Ga Gotoku writing a more grounded, visceral tale of various people around Kamurocho having their eyes gouged out, as the killer known as "The Mole" is apparently responsible.

As with any "It could be anyone!"-style reveal, you'll be on your toes for the majority of this 25 hour runtime. The Mole is treated as a semi-mythical figure; an assassin for the mob with the skills to fight their way out of any group scenario, responsible for brutal killings and not leaving behind a whisker of evidence.

By the time comes that you know The Mole is hunting a person in the same building as you, the lights go out and they slowly stride into the building.

Just seeing them in the flesh is a highlight of the whole story.
