tells a really fun classic murder mystery adventure with yakuza gameplay. definitely enjoyable.

It's really really nice to be back in Kamurocho for a whole game again. Feels like catching up with an old friend. And then to be able to experience the best (action) combat in the series within that world is really really great. Yagami feels so buttery smooth to fight as, it's very impressive.

Yakuza games are renound for their side quests, and unfortunately the quality is just not there in this game. Didn't have fun with a single one that I found here, which really sucks. This is not helped by the fact most of them like to use this game's patented detective trailing missions.

The trailing missions are the least fun I've had in a game ever. I would unronically give them a 0/10 and there are SO SO SO MANY. also mortal wounds is fucking stupid what a pain in the ass. the point and click-ish sections suck dick also but I did realise during the final boss fight there was a really early game upgrade that I missed that fixes all my issues with them so it is mostly forgiven.

yagami as a protagonist is whatever. I definitely don't dislike him but didn't fall in love with him like I did with ichiban after his first game.

looking forward to the next game as apparently there is only 1 trailing mission so I guess I will be saying less mean things to the computer screen.

also it pisses me off that they spelt judgement wrong what is that crap.
