One of the better non-Fromsoft soulslikes. Beautiful artstyle, great soundtrack and solid combat. The shell system, style and platforming makes it different enough from traditional souls to deserve a playthrough.

I'd highly advice to never turn on any accesibility setting to get the full experience as intended. It's worth it. It's the easiest souls I've played, which is not a bad thing.

It's not perfect tho. Sometimes hitboxes are goofy and the electric hammer enemy was dogshit. I was going to give it a 9 but there was a section so terrible in The Fathoms (the one with the guardians from Breath of the Wild) it made me remove a point, so 8 it is. Finally, there's an annoying amount of surfaces where it looks like you can stand on but end up sliding off the map. Really frustrating for what's essentially a 3D platformer.

Still, the good outweighs the bad, I think its a great game and hope Aggro Crab makes a sequel where they polish up the systems and mechanics, it could be really amazing.

One of the best Yakuza games
One of the best JRPGs I've ever played
Peak story, gameplay, characters, humor
City is vibrant and full of life, legacy characters are treated with the respect they deserve
Main and side content are both as fun and appealing as each other
A cast of characters that feel like family by the end
One of the best soft reboots ever written, if only more franchises were treated with this level of love and care
A must play
