Great game, cleaned up most of the issues I had with Yakuza 7’s combat system. Hawai’i is a great location, and I had a great time exploring the area, there is so much to see.

Story-wise, it doesn’t hit the same heights as Y7, and this is more of a Kiryu game than Ichiban. Still, I loved the opportunity to reflect on the series with Kiryu, and his ending. I really liked giving Ichiban the opportunity for a do-over with Eiji, who stands in for Aoki in the last game.

Great game overall, with some silly side activities (sicko snap, crazy eats, and sujimon were highlights for me), though not all shined for me (Dondoko Island). Looking forward to the next game, hoping Kiryu stays on as a mentor, support character from now on and we get to visit him in Okinawa.
