Yes, reasons Yami used CG are:
- To see if they could reduce suit usage for lower suit maintenance cost (Garo is non-CG on final episode);
- To enable fast-paced battle and background usage that would be difficult to pull with suit (Sonshi vs. Ryuga, Takeru, Aguri and Vol City Catacomb Fight);
- To enable different, more difficult design (Aguri's bow is difficult to portray in live-action, marionette-looking Madou Horror that can twist it joint 360).
Why they didn't continue to do that for Gold Storm and Hagane? Because Japanese audience dislike direction they took with Yami.
Mainly because Ryuga is not "Japanese Bruce Wayne" like Kouga and "CG action is not tokusatsu" thus we got Garo 'split' into three after Yami: Raiga (to satisfy Kouga fans), anime (to enable ideas that won't do well for live-action) and Versus Road (CG is part of setting to begin with).
