This is everything a Yakuza fan could ask for. I think RGG lied to us when they said they made this game "6 months". Because there is no way they made this in 6 months, this is not an asset flip, there is a lot unique bosses, animations, cutscene animations etc. There is a whole new fighting style and they refined the Dragon style. There is beefy substories, a giant Arena minigame which could be a game on its own.

They really nailed the characters as well, I don't think any other game could make you care about characters in a such short time.

While its true that its shorter than a normal Yakuza game, it's filled with content and I cannot recommend it enough.

Just be warned though, the game pretty much spoils the Yakuza 6 ending in the first scene (they showed the ending entire ending cutscene) and they also spoil Yakuza Like a Dragon (this is expected since this game was meant to be a DLC for LaD before it was turned to standalone DLC).
