Objectively, an upgrade to the first game in a lot of different aspects. Not sure what it is what overall I did not enjoy this game as much as the first one. Story and characters didn't hit as hard I guess

Took a pause right up at the Saejima part of the story

Probably the best cast of characters in the series, close to Yakuza 5 and 7 but the ending to this game sucked donkey dick

Story and characters were actually really good but something about the game makes you just want to push through the story instead of really playing it. A lot of the gameplay mechanics regressed

I appreciate the story and characters a whole but the pacing and presentation of the game leaves a lot to be desired. Number 1 problem being that cutscenes are about 10-15 seconds in length when I think they could have let some of those scenes breathe a little while longer

Best in the series
