This review contains spoilers

My favourite point in the game was when Itchybum said, "This Kiryu guy really is like a dragon."
Yakuza 7 was very good but had some really strange things about that made its gameplay and narritive frustrating at times.
I thought, for example, that Kume was going to be a one off minor starting antagonist, but then he heavily overstays his welcome until the very end, in which he does very little in the story but everything he does do is annoying. There were also parts were if felt like the story was getting sidetracked and there was a lot of nothings in the first few chapters.
The change with the combat was fun but horribly balanced. The fight with Majima and Saejima was a big difficulty spike for no reason with little signs of any huge spike beforehand. (Enemies suddenly going from late 30s in levels to level 50+) This then lead to random points of grinding before later game boss fights.
The story overall throughout is very, however, and the ending is amazing.(Bar Kume killing Aoki randomly for his stupid reasons) I really loved Ichiban and all of the new characters that came along with him.
