Gameplay wise, this feels like the massive jump from Y1 to 2, and it improves on the gameplay and feel. They clearly took what worked and didn't work about LaD's combat system and improved it tenfold by focusing on positioning.
Storywise.. umm..well... There is much left to be desired.
Storywise this was one of the weakest in the series with weak villains, and the story stagnates a lot. There are great moments, but there wasn't a hook to keep me playing. I felt very disconnected from this title and it didn't surprise me.
This title reminded me a lot of Yakuza 0 where things are set up and the payoff to them is weak, But that game kept you going with its great characters and villains. And by the finale it all pays off.
Here... It hooked me at the beginning then forgot to reel in the fishing line.
This is not to say the game is bad, far from it. I am motivated to go back and do the extra content and side stories I missed, especially the Kiryu stuff.
I was just expecting more from this title as a massive follow-up to a game & series that changed my life for the better.
It's kind of funny. It's like Gaiden was the game that had the weaker gameplay, and the stronger story, and now it's swamped with infinite wealth with fantastic gameplay and systems, but a much weaker story.
Also the soundtrack was just okay. I want more bangers.
