The End Of Denial.

One of RGG Studios most ambitious games carrying the whole legacy of Yakuza as a whole and they fucking nailed it. The perfect love letter to the LikeADragon/Yakuza Series. Dual Protagonists with one of the best two to ever do it, the most yakuza plot and setting, the themes and messages, etc. I am so happy to be a part of this journey of games to see this from back then and to now when this game was released.

The themes that Kiryu and Ichiban represent and show through their own games and this one is just really done well. How much they are able to change people through themselves and be the change they want to be positively, is just contagiously amazing. To come up from nothing, to be able to keep going in life even while struggling and to embrace those failures, regrets, past decisions, to be able to keep going no matter what is what this series is about and growing to be a better person and to embrace those happy moment in life, to keep on living no matter what, when you finally break through from coming from zero.

A game and series made this well with so much love doesn't come by often, that's why I love this series yakuza so much as a whole, it's filled with so much life and love. Everything about this game was perfect for me. Thank you RGG Studios for this series and this game.
