I really am enjoying this at the stage of the game I am at. (early ~4.5 hrs)

Just finished YLAD and LAD:G as well, and of the three I personally feel Judgement has the most refined combat and the most detailed environment. YLAD is turn-based, so not really a fair comparison, But Judgement combat controls are a fair bit more involved than LAD:G. It feels great once you get used to it.

Also, something something gamepad. You really should use one for this title. KB/M controls are fine, but the game is clearly designed with a gamepad in mind.

Judgement is beautiful, and there really is something to be said for RGG creating this entire world that spans multiple games. I am already familiar with Kamorocho from other entries in the Yakuza franchise, but the version of Kamorocho in Judgement is -while being entirely familiar - much larger and more detailed in scope. It feels both familiar and unexplored to me.

Huge fan of RGG, and Judgement is looking like one of their marquee titles for me so far. Big recommend.
