completely forgot to log this game after I beat it

This game is great, while I do think the final couple chapters of the game where it pulls off 12 different twists in one cutscene is silly, everything else about it is great.

Every character is fantastic to play as, all with completely unique movesets and gameplay styles to them. With Kiryu being the last playable and being a complete fucking tank over everyone else. The gameplay feels great, improves a bit on y3s gameplay and expands more with the extra characters. Again, the remaster has its issues that break some parts of the game, but it's still worth playing.

This is basically my entry point into the series aswell, not including when I played Y0 when it came out YEARS ago and haven't replayed it since, but this is very beginner friendly. If you are gonna start with a Yakuza game but aren't sure about the PS2 ones yet, start here.
