Fundamentally feels like Yakuza 1 but portable, the combat is nice and punchy but highly exploitable to the point where it's better to spam the same grabs over and over than to do combos. Side content is surprisingly plentiful for being a portable game and it's got a good host of typical Yakuza minigames and substories. I unfortunately couldn't ever connect with the story though so I found any story segments to be a slog, even with the fan-made English patch
