The first PS3 era Yakuza game and it definitely feels like it, even with the remaster. Solid entry into the series but noticeably aged. Fairly clunky combat with enemies that block just a bit too much, but it's not so bad once you get used to it. Okinawa is a nice setting, and most of the characters introduced are very likable. A lot of time is spent at the orphanage which can be tiring, but I think necessary for the story to work. Speaking of story, it's pretty good, although I personally didn't find the main villain very interesting.
Generally good boss fights.

Kiryu is a good father.
