The pacing is all over the place and the gameplay is incredibly clunky and frustrating coming from Kiwami 2. Still, I found myself coming around to it by the end, almost entirely thanks to some great new characters and interesting new city in Okinawa. I wish the slice-of-life orphanage stuff would have been handled better because there was great emotional payoff, even if it was at times a slog to get through. I can absolutely see why this is almost universally the least liked Yakuza.
