Painfully mediocre. It feels like a fusion between Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, and gacha games, but none of the things that makes those games fun. Things like air combos and defensive options are locked behind characters you have to gamble for. The open world is stunning, the music is chilling, the characters are all very likeable and the story is interesting, but it's all held back by a very lackluster game. It would've been better as an actual paid MMO, a single player open world game or just an anime/manga.
The PC port is awful if you want to play this with a controller. The launcher and title screen both cannot be navigated with a controller and you have to manually enable controller support every time you launch the game. It's been out for months now with this remaining the same.

This game is shockingly good. The new characters are all really compelling, Saejima in particular is amazing. I feel like the game starts to fall apart in the latter part of the story, as things start getting a little too silly and the plot twists become so ridiculous that this game spawned a meme. That being said, this game definitely feels like one of the more heartfelt, genuine Yakuza games. The flaws are easy to forgive because you can really feel the passion from the writers for this game. The gameplay, thankfully, is pretty good too.

Everything about DMC4 but even better. Legendary Dark Knight mode is ridiculously fun. The campaign is still pretty weak, but this is a port and you probably already know the story, so it's not a big deal. The new characters are fantastic additions. Vergil is great as expected, but Lady is also fantastic. I'd like to see her in more DMC games. Trish feels a bit too much like an easier Dante, but that's fine since even a nerfed Dante is fun to play as. If she returns, I'd like to see a more unique moveset.
