+ As vast and crazy as is to be expected from a Yakuza/LAD game at this point. There's so many options of things to do at all times that it never becomes tedious or boring even after 70+ hours.
+ Expands and improves on the RPG combat from the previous game - and with the job system and skill inheritance, it stays interesting through the entire game.
+ While the wider story isn't really that interesting to me, where the game shines is its extremely strong characters, with Ichiban solidifying himself as one of the best protagonists in history.
- Suffers from the same issue as previous Yakuza games, where cut scenes take 10 minutes of dialogue to explain what could be conveyed in 1.
- Loses a bit of steam towards the end, and I feel while the story doesn't necessarily leave any threads open, a lot of the resolutions feel slightly flat.
