It scratches that Yakuza itch, but it's still a side game at the end of the day.
Side stories are basically just cutscene -> fight, they're lacking those special, memorable moments the other games had.
Combat is good as always, agent style is fun to use but I personally found 3/4 gadgets mostly useless.
Overall I enjoyed it, but it's clearly made for the fans, not a general audience, so keep that in mind

Once you get used to it it plays amazingly, very fun, but I really could not care less for the characters

Once people mastered the building mechanics it was really hard to keep playing the game casually when every match I'll just find someone that build half of Indonesia in 30 seconds and I can't do anything. Then they added that buildless mode which was just boring, so I don't even know, game feels like a novelty now

The game is so much more fun if you turn off driving assist

Insanely fun

The greatest video game of our time

Was always fun with friends, but got boring with randoms when people began to tryhard

Really fun and beautiful. But has a lot, lot, LOT of backtracking

Extremely fun game with a very interesting concept. It's like ratchet and clank meets rhythm game, love it

Played it with 3 of my best buddies and it still got boring at the end

Repetitive

Incredibly fun, beautiful music and amazing levels and challenges. I recommend doing the 500 moons level.

What an amazing game. The exploring, art, music, sound effects, bosses, story, all fantastic

This game kicked my fucking ass, but I guess that's the appeal. It's the raw Metroid experience
