As a huge fan of the Yakuza series, this one definitely felt the weakest out of the ones I've completed so far (0, Kiwami 1 & 2). To be fair, I think it is the oldest of the series that only got a remaster treatment. I really enjoyed the bits dealing with the kids at the orphanage, but this entry in the series has the worst combat so far. Everything felt pretty boring and bare-bones combat wise, especially since combat is the majority of what you do. Story is amazing, which is to be expected, but the substories didn't have the same pizzazz as I'm usually used to. Overall, if you're wanting to experience the entire story of the Yakuza series, this is still a must-play, but I would recommend just focusing on the main story on this one instead of spending most of your time elsewhere.
