This was my first Yakuza game, and I understand it's very different from the rest of the franchise, at least from a gameplay perspective. I really enjoyed it, though. I'm a big fan of RPGs, and the way this game integrated turn-based RPG combat with its setting is hilarious, bombastic, and delightful. The classes based on regular jobs are wild and at high levels I really enjoyed setting up buckwild combos through the hilarious use of everyday objects. The side content is also a lot of fun, particularly the kart racing questline. I found the storyline a bit hard to follow at first when it started diving into the politics of the gang war, but that confusion was definitely sorted out by the end. The only major complaint I had was there were a few major difficulty spikes that really made the game grind to a halt, but overall this game is an absolute delight and I highly recommend it.
