There's not a ton here in terms of story or side content compared to the other games. Most of the really good story stuff is packed into the final chapter, where we're given some extremely emotional moments with Kiryu and fun cameos. But thanks to the narrative being so tight, it doesn’t take long to get there. The final act features what I think is one of the best scenes in the series.

I was so sure that I was going to fixate on Yakuza fighting style for the whole game, but as I started upgrading the Agent style, I switched over and never looked back. Combat felt really fluid, especially with the Serpent boots.

Because the game has less than half the number of chapters compared to a usual Yakuza game, I felt like I could engage with the side activities without pouring 100+ hours into the game. This eventually led me to get the platinum trophy without much effort.

I can't wait for Infinite Wealth!
