I enjoyed Yakuza 6 way more than I expected to, mostly because of the characters and the story. Shoutout to the entire Hirose family and Someya for being amazing. The final few chapters of the game and ESPECIALLY the finale are super exciting and I enjoyed every second of it.

I haven't played much side content, so maybe I'll change this rating when I come back and play more, but for now I only have a few minor complaints. Dragon Engine combat stills feels a little rough even after upgrading my PC, but I had a better experience with it than I did with Kiwami 2 (I think mostly thanks to the performance improvement). I also thought it was kinda dumb that I had to sit through multiple occasions of the JUSTIS/clan creator side story interrupting the main story, but again just a minor complaint.

Seriously, the tension in the finale and the ending (which I imagine is controversial but I thought was great) make this 100% worth playing.
