RGG tries and somewhat succeeds with their new IP in the Yakuza-verse. Yagami quickly became one of my favorite protagonists of the series and the rest of the cast was memorable and fun. The story had a couple of lulls in the middle but snatched my attention back near the end where everything cleanly snapped into place.
The combat is flashy and weighty, though heavily leans into the tiger style, which holds almost all the combat upgrades. Also almost all of the detective stuff falls flat besides the chase sequences. The tailing missions especially are hot garbage and feel as if they pop up every other mission. All that said a few missteps are expected with how much new stuff the team is trying; a lot of it was remedied with the sequel.
7/10
