In this installment Kiryu has become such a dad his fighting ability has apparently vanished, and he gets block spammed by every enemy in the game.

The story is more goofy fun and the orphanage stuff is such a great arc for Kiryu. I also found combat improved as the game went on with more abilities to counter and deal with enemies.

But Jesus i could not enjoy the combat for a large portion of the game, and the substories also suck with a lot being 'play this sport minigame 10,000 times'.

It has my favourite final boss in the series and the latter half of the game picks up a lot in fun factor, it's just torture for new players to reach that point
