fun game :)

Awesome: game, mechanics, music, art, characters, voice acting, RNG, writing. Seriously my GOTY hands down.
....

Story was okay.

I'm glad I experienced it, nothing like it ever in other media.

Do yourself a favor and dive in! I can't even rate it. It's a league of its OWN

best fighting game in the market :)

Enjoyed the game quite a bit, gameplay abilities felt really nice and smooth but man the Service Gun felt weak
and the bosses were pretty disappointing in this game

Graphics are phenomenal to this day, love just lifting a slide projector and just seeing how Ray tracing works by bouncing and accounting objects

Voice acting is very well done! and sound track is.. well I did love the music.

Story at the beginning is a bit of a slog to go through but it picks up pace and gets me hooked, love the entire theme of it.

If you played Alan Wake and/or excited for Alan Wake 2, pick it up for sure. If hesitant, get it on sale when it's $10 :)

Happy Hissing

Most fun I had this year. Incredible value for $10 (with DLCs)

Having to go through Rockstar Launcher to play this game is like going to a 5 star restaurant and ordering a high quality steak but they add ketchup ontop of it, so they have special random days where you can only experience high quality stake but without ketchup where the experience is phenomenal in those instances, most likely its worse rest of the time.

This is a great game if you'd like to tap into the Yakuza franchise if you aren't interested in 0 and want to see what this franchise offers.

Soundtrack is fantastic! Nothing much to say since the audio team always hits the bullseye in every RGG game.

Side quests are very well written, comical, but few have missed the mark

Combat is the best of this game, very satisfying and well balanced (at least one style is.. the other not so much), encounter rates do get annoying, but there are items that help you lessen it. Not to mention upgrade system is quite straightforward... or not bother and go tiger drop your way through the game.

Story is very well written, everyone plays a big role and no character feels unnecessary. The side characters feels just as important and shine in the spotlight. My only annoyance is how there are good amount of fillers in the game that can break the pace of the story. Once passing it, game no longer adds any fillers which is great!

Gameplay (not combat) can get dull quickly, tailing, thumb turn pass (good lord this is the WORSE) and chasing are ALOT in this game with characters running around the block or being super sensitive if you breathe, thankfully it is toned down by alot in it's sequel, Yakuza Judgement. On the other hand, "Mario Party", Drone racing are one of the most enjoyable activities I have done in Yakuza games!

This game ? Go play it if this is your first time into a Yakuza game and would like to see what this series offers, although I suggest 0 first, but if that is not up your alley, this is a second best.

its aite i guess

pretty great!
