before i started this game i thought it was just tough gangster men suffering through cringey scenarios, but i wasn’t expecting a cinematic, hard-boiled crime drama that tore at my heart strings, it honestly blows my mind how well this game focuses on two protagonists. all the events that happen throughout both Kiryu and Majima’s stories ended with such a satisfying pay off with a heartfelt honor to it’s future titles (even that iconic outfit scene had me tearing up 😤)
ahh i can't stop thinking i'm fucking amazing, but overall: phenomenal cinematic direction, incredible voice acting, and fantastic characters, with very minor issues. the contrast of humor and seriousness truly reached heights beyond my expectations. i really love this game.
