I played this game pretty much nonstop for a while and then I took a very long break from playing it at all. The story is quite long and convoluted, so it was hard to get back into it after such a long break. I ended up basically just watching a story recap on Youtube and skipping most of the cut scenes. Even still, I enjoyed the game a lot. There were a lot of fun side activities. The “Majima Everywhere” system was both annoying and fun, just like Majima himself. The only thing I wish is that it wasn’t so random. I wasn’t able to get some of the achievements from it during my play through because I just so happened not to do whatever random things would trigger those specific Majima “types” to appear. The Coliseum was a pretty cool feature and I also really liked the locker system and the pocket circuit racing. The MesuKing game was a little bit interesting. What I find annoying and really really wish they would remove from this series as a whole are things like Shogi & Mahjong. These are games that take a while to really learn and I just don’t think they are necessary or fun. Things like that are what stop me from getting 100% in some of these games and it’s quite annoying. Also, the requirement to go back and complete the game in Legend mode is quite ridiculous considering how long these games are. So, I probably will not be 100% this one. Even still, I am very excited to play Yakuza Kiwami 2.
