One of the best games in the Yakuza/Judgment series.
A lot of improvements from the previous game, the 3 main styles feel a lot more unique and fun (plus boxer style is insanely fun to play, though a bit overpowered), the school substory was pretty fun (except robotics, we'll get to you) and in general i liked the sidecontent more.
The general story was maybe a tad bit worse than the first one, but this game's new characters are really really good, especially Kuwana, whom i found extremely compelling and interesting as an antagonist, probably my favourite in the series, and i really really loved his dynamic with Yagami.
OST great as usual, nothing to say there.
Now to the "bad", which is honestly not much, but i feel like i need to mention it because it did bother me somewhat.
To me, the only flaw in this game are the stealth/following/run/parkour sections, which i found very boring and very easy, especially stealth which was basically just "throw coin>step around the guy/choke him". Also, robotics club game was a travesty, annoying at best, disgustingly hard and RNG dependant at worst.
Anyways, very, very, very good game that cements itself as one of RGG's best, in my opinion.
