errrrrm literally peak gaming???? literally the best gameplay in the series

Glorious little late era PS2 game. A bit rough around the edges but it was so heartfelt in what it was. Combat was a liiiitle bit stiff but that story and that atmosphere.... ouuughhhh the use of fixed camera angles gives kamurocho such an awesome sense of scale and a ton of OOMPH that the other games dont have. Please start with this instead of Yakuza 0

The gameplay is way better than Yakuza 7. Probably the most fun ive had in the series. The game letting you move and basing mechanics on maximising damage depending on your angle is such a welcome change and makes everything feel so much more engaging.Though it is let down by the story sometimes feeling a bit rushed and long winded. Its one I defenitely need to replay at some point. Despite that this is peak way more often than its mid and is probably one of my favorite RGG games
