A breath of fresh air to the RGG formula from the new setting and combat styles. The story starts off real slow but definitely picks up and becomes more investing towards the second half. And seeing familiar faces play new roles is a fun addition.

Most of the side content focuses on the usual RGG grinds or "bonds" similar to the Judgment games, leaving the side content feeling lackluster compared to the main series.

All in All, a very fun game and a great remaster (putting aside some slight framerate drops on certain story segments on PS5) to a long awaited localization of this entry in the beloved Yakuza/LAD franchise.
