The Detective Essentials Pack was the first expansion released for Lost Judgment. It was downloadable content for every supported platform except Windows, as it was included in the base game on that port. It included additional items to help with the game, new aesthetic options, new storylines, and additional Sega Master System Games.
The new storylines come in the form of three new dates for Yagami. The women include Tsukino Satome, a graphic designer, a woman inside of the Kamulop mascot, and Kyoko Hakase, the school nurse. This is the draw of this pack, in my opinion. The new dating stories are all a lot of fun, and the last two, in particular are extremely memorable. The mascot storyline has a funnier story than any of the substories in the main game.
The other aspect of this pack that validates its price is the additional Sega Master System games to play at the Yagami Detective Agency. The games include the cute 'em up Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa, the shoot 'em ups Global Defense and Darius II, and the run and gun Alien Syndrome.
Most of the remaining pieces of the DLC are helpful items that can be used in the game. These include the six extract recipes for lightning blade, telekinesis, insta-flux, unyielding wave, guardian spirit, and temporal zen. There is also an open air skatepark, a hover drive skateboard, a new drone frame known as the sky spider, a super boss version of Shin Amon to fight in the gauntlet.
There are also three new colors for the detective dog that sits outside of the Yagami Detective Agency. The white, black, and rust coloring for the fur is purely cosmetic, but somehow welcome as the Shiba Inu is adorable in any color.
The Detective Essentials Pack isn't downloadable content worth paying for on its own, but as part of the season pass, it's a nice addition to Lost Judgment. The new hostess stories and Sega Master System games are the draw of this game, but the rest are helpful additions to the game. Well, the new Shiba Inu colors are an exception. However, because they are an inclusion in a pack with more helpful additions, they are not worth sniffing at.
Final Verdict:
3 out of 5
