I would even go as far as saying this is the reason visual novels were made
2018
crusty gameplay but probably my favourite of the first 3, damn near perfect atmosphere coupled with a well paced story
2019
The story gets as silly as possible while also being as exciting as the series gets. Ties up the past 3 games strongly
Replaying this game only convinced me further on CrowRean being the greatest thing to happen to this series

This game is weird, it's too long, it's too slow and it's certainly almost too big for a yakuza game.
At the same time this game offers the kind of scale, build up and payoff no other entry does. I am genuinely mindblown by how many good characters it had after Yakuza 4, and every returning one hits their peak what more could a lad ask for.
I have a few gripes with the gameplay and story but they don't matter a lot in the big scale. Not to mention this is the hardest a yakuza game focuses on its themes and my god does it nail them

Where do I start, undeniably the best Yakuza has to offer when it comes to character writing, story, side-cast, antagonists, music and payoff, the side content is up there among the best.
It's only a bit lacking in the gameplay section, but that's understandable since this is the first dragon engine game.
The way Kiryu's arc comes to an end here is not simply through what the series says about living, but also its overarching themes of parenthood from way back in Yakuza 1...it's magical even, Hard to describe it with words when I have tears all over my face. RGG fucking killed it.

Half the time while playing this I just wanted Makoto to do something to me

Outside the structure and gameplay feeling a bit off yet pretty damn refined, straight up perfect game
The story has some on the nose moments holding it back with the super off-key pacing, but I would lying if it didn't have me excited and emotional like a kid
I'm really glad Nagoshi finally got to do his mafia mystery without Yakuza holding him back, this game reeks of his inner wanna-make mystery game especially if you've followed all 7 games before

I like the part where they kept the superbowl for pedophiles in the C route
