The other day the AC unit broke in my apartment, and maintenance sends up this kid (probably 16 or 17) to set up a portable AC unit until they could get it fixed. He looks over at my computer and says "I like your setup, what games do you play?" I tell him I hop between things and crank my brain up to Jimmy Neutron-brain-blast levels of power trying desperately to think of a single example of a video game I've played that a normal person would know, and I end up going "oh, have you heard of Dinkum?" He shoots me a look, immediately says "uh, no. I play Apex," and leaves without saying another word

I am really conflicted on this game.
In one hand, I really love the Yakuza formula. Charismatic characters with a heart of gold are set against impossible odds in tales fulls of melodrama, murder and mystery.
However, the change from brawler to RPG took me more time time to adapt than I expected. And some of the RPG mechanics weren't really that good or well executed. Not to mention the grind necessary to pass one of the chapters is way too extreme.
Despite this, I really enjoyed my time with Ishiban and his merry band of friends.
