Loved pretty much every hour I spent in Ijincho and Kamurocho. Lots of quality of life features like letting me re-read previous dialogue that my smooth brain didn't absorb and also letting me check character profiles even mid-cutscene to remind me who the fuck we're talking about with my inability to remember Japanese names.

Combat great fun but maybe a wee bit too easy after you've spent some decent SP. Some heat moves kinda hard to execute. Skill issue.

Story was pretty good and I found it easier to follow than the last one. Wasn't always on the same page as Yagami but I understood his motivations. The school stories and side cases steal the show as usual.

Laying broken at the altar of mahjong like every other Yakuza game.
