“My bad. Yakuza 4 felt like a nice rebound after 3. Mechanically, it is definitely an improvement. The Blockuza nonsense is mostly gone, combat feels better overall, and just moving around the game felt less frustrating.…”
“Yakuza 4 is the first Yakuza game to introduce multiple protagonists, and that went well and bad at the same time Talking about graphics and every technical aspect of the game, it is literally the same as Y3 and Y5,…”
“maya mori and fighting as tanimura made this game worth it also saejimas revelations are funny to me”

“The story is one of the worst in ther series which is a real shame but the combat is great. Playing Akiyama and Tanimura are some of the most fun i've had in the entire franchise, their fighting styles are some of the…”
“Akiyama: "We are... Yakuza 4." Also hearing [spoiler]Dreams of an Absolution[/spoiler] was random yet peak.”

“I beat this game one when it was on Game Pass and played it just to clean it out of my Steam backlog. But no... The combat is a tiny bit better than Yakuza 3 but overall, it's as horrible as Yakuza 3 due to the exact…”

“7/10. A good ensemble cast, but the weakest story yet. It also feels a little dated coming off Y0 and the Kiwamis.”

“I enjoyed this game! diverse characters to play and a deep story to dive in, a step up from Yakuza 3, although could ease up on the shotgun guys and the constant grabbing of enemies, I nearly had a Yakuza fight with my…”

“TD;DR: The game is flawed, feels dated, but still has great soul. 4+/7 - Plot is worse than Y3 imo, very convoluted and changes the context for some of the previous events not in a good way - Boss fights are equally as…”
“Awesome story, awesome substories, even though the gameplay and graphics feels outdated, the overall gaming experience is good! I wish they could remaster it (but make it good)!”

“After Kiwami 3, I'm scared of the remakes now This game is the best ps3 game that RGG made And should be bought before it gets Remaked”
— a player, Steam review · 31 hrs played“This is the Avengers movie of the Yakuza series. Just like the name, this game has 4 protagonists, including our main man, Kiryu! Akiyama (Iron Man), although he's a great character and I like him, his part is the weakest in the game. I love his character building and how he is…”
— a player, Steam review · 47 hrs played“Another great Yakuza game here! Really enjoyed the 4 protagonists route they took with this game. Music was great, gameplay felt unique with each character and the story wasn't the best in the series so far but wasn't bad either. - So glad I played the original Yakuza 3 and not…”
