A phenomenal Yakuza story on a good engine, but with some bafflingly bad integration with regards to minigames and sub-stories, weaker music than the original, and overall cheap production value in contrast with the near-perfect Yakuza 0.

If you take one of the best games of all time and make a slightly worse port, you still have one of the best games on the 3ds.

Truly defined an era. Despite not yet having experienced all the game has to offer, I can tell you that this game will keep you on the edge of your seat with expertly written and delivered jokes, engaging satisfying gameplay, and expansive lore that will keep you contemplating the world for thousands of hours. Please do yourself a favor and experience what this game has to offer, I promise you won't be disappointed.
