The best Yakuza game in years, and that's honestly saying something.
Though it only serves as a transitional title before LAD 8 drops, Gaiden gives us everything we love about the previous Kiryu-led Yakuza titles, bringing back classic minigames and side content for a great experience. The story is great, with some incredibly powerful emotional beats. The combat rules, especially the new Agent style, which allows you to use high-tech gadgets in battle. The Colosseum, Akame Network, and countless minigames make it so you can go days without progressing the story. I loved this game so much!
