Took a bit longer to warm to this coming from Like A Dragon due to its unwieldy camera and awkward combat but once it clicked I was in love all over again.

For how often the game flits between high drama and wacky absurdity it's amazing it still manages to keep the story so engaging. I love Yakuza substories because you go in expecting the twist to be this, or maybe that but then it's actually both and also one more. So stupid/incredible.

Except the Catfights. Those were terrible.

Really enjoyed playing as Parker in this. Some disgusting little setups and combos you can use, despite the ostensible simple controls. Had a great deal of fun with this.
