Admittedly I had some doubts and fears about this game since it was touted as much smaller game along with Kiryu stepping back into the protagonist role again but safe to say Gaiden really hits the mark for me.
Taking place years after Yakuza 6, Kiryu is thrust back into the new identity as Joryu in a sort of Interquel around Y7 to Y8. Really dig the new agent style a lot with being able to pull out more tricks out that would make James bond blush. It's nice to RGG rework the dragon of dojima fighting style completely along with bringing back some heat moves from pre Dragon engine games.
I spent a good majority of my time in the side content along with Awesome arena fights which takes Clan creator from Y6 but Improves upon it significantly. A lot of the new characters were very memorable (Akame, Shishido and Tsurono) and I honestly legit Teared up at the ending of the game. I'm very excited to see the direction RGG is taking this series by the time Infinite wealth drops in January next year. But yeah a Good game all around.
