Absolute masterpiece. From the story, to the characters, the combat, the side content, the music, even the costumization were all on point.
At first I wasn't sure if the price was worth it since it's a short game but it definitely is. There's really tons of stuff to do and it's very engaging and fun. The mention of past characters that Kiryu encountered in his life and such, even in the substories was so cool.
The combat was definitely my favourite of the whole series. I loved the gadgets since they added something more to the fights instead of just punching my way through and it was much easier for big groups of enemies which is something I was often struggling with in previous games.
The music was so much fun, especially in the Coliseum menu, it made me want to spend hours there, and talking about the coliseum, it's been really awesome. I usually dislike this kind of content but they made it so much fun in Gaiden, especially playing with Majima! So glad they added 3Jima as playables.
Being able to costumize Kiryu and the fact you could see the outfit you chose even in important cutscenes was so awesome and I really hope they make more of that in future games. Especially since they even included that content for sidequests.
The characters were all super awesome. I loved Akame, Hanawa, Tsuruno, Shishido, Nishitani... I really hope we get to see more of them eventually!
The fight at the end where 3Jima and Kiryu all remove their shirts made me go like AAAAAAAH and it was incredibly peak.
I cried so much at the end, almost as much as 7 and 0. Something about Kiryu breaking broke me and I will never be the same after this
ps: definitely didn't costumize Kiryu to be similar to Zhao
