Finished in 2024

A turning point in the series in both gameplay and cast, but i’m pleasantly surprised by how easy it was for me to get on board with the changes. Ichiban Kasuga is an amazingly fun, kindhearted and spirited loser protagonist who instantly won me over. I’ve got 73 hours into this game and i’ve grown really really attached to Ichiban and his band of misfits.

I was worried I wouldn’t enjoy the turn based combat as much, but I did enjoy the strategy aspect and the cooky skills and jobs. It keeps things fresh and the game is not as “grind-y” as other Yakuza installments (looking at you Ishin….)

Great game for veteran and new players!!

Finished on Steamdeck

I mean, it’s a fun little 4 hour game. I actually enjoyed it more than I thought it would, but nothing groundbreaking. I do love the introduction to Mr. Scratch as a villain here, but the other characters and dialogues just weren’t as well written.

Finished on Steamdeck, including Foundation and AWE DLC

I was a bit weary at first as the type of gameplay isn’t my usual jam. I did get the hang of things once I managed to upgrade some skills, but some parts of the game were tediously difficult.

That being said: the story is very intriguing and right up my alley! I think Jesse is a great protag - and getting to know the other characters around the bureau was fun. Especially finding all of Dr Darling’s little videos scattered around - definitely a highlight for me.

As for the DLC: I thought i’d enjoy the AWE dlc more it being about Alan Wake and all, but I found the combat endlessly frustrating. Dr. Hartman truly was the bane of my existence. The Foundation DLC was much more enjoyable - both gameplay and storywise.

Overall i’m pleasantly surprised by this game. Will definitely play the sequel!!
