errrrrm literally peak gaming???? literally the best gameplay in the series
2005
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
really mid RPG with a story so strong that it ends up being one of my favorite games anyway. All of the characters are so fun and charming and exploring yokohama was a delight too

Certainly way better than a lot of the shit thrown at it that reviewers gave it. Its simply misunderstood. Its mechanics are so cool and so different and out there, but just like Bayonetta 1 it bogs itself down with side stuff and also doesnt teach you the mechanics at all, nor does it really give you a reason to not spam, though I think giving the player the freedom to fuck around with a ginormous move pool is a good thing sometimes, Unless you're on infinite climax. Infinite climax mode is where this game goes INSANE and I love it for that.

this game is really incredibly lame. Weapons are either overpowered and defeat enemy encounters in seconds, or the battles are so overdrawn but lack any sort of real substance. Its combat feels so linearised to the point of feeling tedious and numb in Infinite Climax mode

Simply a splended game with excellent gameplay and art design. Some of the most fluid combat ive seen in a game but its non combat sections are sorely lacking and it doesnt bother to teach you a lot of mechanics. This game only clicked with me after I watched a youtube video on how its mechanics work
