I was not ready.
I said in my Yakuza 0 review how the game is a rollercoaster of emotions, and here i am again repeating this phrase. I cried, i laughted, i screemed, i became the mad dog and so on...
Yakuza does a very good job by growing likeable characters really fast (even if some of these i want to kill and punch until break the planet). The plot is very simple, some might say very shallow, but i am not one of them.
The combat still not great, but the bosses fights are a little better.
Kiryu Kazuma. How can someone be this good? We acompany him since 1988. We are now in 2016. Kiryu grow older, he lost and gained so much. We suffer and fight together for almost 30 years. It's impossible to get to his final chapter and not be emotional. He became what he always wanted, someone who protects the ones he care about, thinking only about them and never to himself. Kiryu lost many possibilities to be happy, just to make sure those around him are. You can actually use the substories like an example. Kiryu is always helping people with the most stupid and simple activities. For me, this is not only a subquest type of thing in games, but a way to tell how he cares to the well being of others. We don't deserve him.
Yakuza 6 isn't the best game in the series, but it's the best ending Kiryu Kazuma could have. The Legend of the Dragon of Dojima, the Guardian of Kamurosho is now a song of life and hope for those who shared this incredible experience that the Yakuza series provided.
I will finish this review just like i finished Yakuza 0's so long ago:
"Therefore, instead of reading reviews, go all out and play it, i swear to you, it's definitely one hell of a journey."
