A bit lacking compared to 0, K1 and K2 (completely understandable) but it's got HEART.

-- very slight spoilers --

Another great Yakuza entry, altough a bit rough compared to the kiwami engine it's still an enjoyable journey. Cheesiness aside, the plot is very solid with fun characters and very engaging plot.
Although i felt the "main" villain was a bit lacking on motivation, he more than makes up for it by, like many other yakuza villains, redeeming himself and bonding with Kiryu through their fists, cause every Yakuza game gotta have that shonen manga SOUL. Knowing that the series continues to follow Kiryu's AND Haruka's whole life fills me with expectation and i can't wait to see more of these character's growth, new appearances and ofc the cheesy subplots.
Also Richardson is such a metal gear ass character lmao i love it.
