“If you buy and want to play the whole saga I would personally suggest not to do it. The Yakuza saga starting with 0 is like all you can eat chocolate ice cream, but the twist is every time you take a new cone the…”
“PRIME KIRYU in terms of combat, theres just so many sick moves Kiryu fighting 100 yakuzas was absolutely wild 1 Kiryu vs 100 Gorillas should be the debate Saejima part felt a lil draggy but loved his combat Hated the…”
“Give a man six hours to finish Yakuza 5... and he will spend the first four hours being an Idol in the Princess League... and then he will spend the last 2 hours fighting because there's 5 million f****ng enemies on…”

“KIRYU IS A CAB DRIVER, SIZUKI NINJA, KIRYU DOESNT KNOW HE HAS A GF WHO LIVES IN HIS HOUSE 4 DAYS A WEEK, DIAGO GETS LOST, DRUNK BOSS. 10/10 buy it.”
“Yakuza 5 is the most ambitious Yakuza game i've played up to now, it has more flaws than pros, but i still consider it to be a pretty good game To start with the pros, Chapter 3 introduces an unique mechanic that is…”
“I won't lie this is my least favorite of the franchise and i will likely never replay because it took the forumla from four and just made it way way longer, and one of fours big issues for me was how long it felt when…”

“Never give up. When Yakuza 5 came out, it was easily the most ambitious game RGG had made up to that point, and you can feel it in everything. Five protagonists, five cities, a mountain of side content, new systems, new…”
“this was craaaaaaaaaaazy long but very fun”

“Good game. Value for money. Nice change in narrative from other games.”

“classic yakuza well done fun doesn't treat you like you're a brand new gamer like yakuza 3 remake buy it before they delist it”

“Maybe I just burnt out, even though I took a month-long break between Yakuza 4 and 5. But still, this is the most tedious and boring game I’ve ever played. I couldn’t care less about Haruka, and Saejima’s part is a pure…”

“It was the worst yakuza game i ever played, the story telling is horrendous, shinada is a cool char but his story is so boring and super random, and if i could i would beat the sht out of the person who decided that…”

“tive que fazer certos ajustes em relação a compatibilidade por conta de um bug bizarro onde algumas cutscenes estavam com o áudio de outras cutscenes. tirando isso, rodou perfeitamente... é possivelmente o melhor yakuza…”
“They did the multiple MC format again and I enjoyed it even more than I did in Yakuza 4 mainly because how the MCs felt different in both game play and story. I think that made the coming together at the end weaker but…”

“[h1]Well that’s how you put an end to the remaster series![/h1] You know what? i think listening to “yakuza fanboy” about how ♥♥♥♥ haruka gameplay is… might not be real yakuza fans… although i’m kinda disappointed we’re not playing her at the final part of the climax, eh spoiler…”
— a player, Steam review · 61 hrs played“Having an entire chapter where you play as a 16 year old girl doing QTE dance battles in a game about muscular Yakuza dudes beating each other up was certainly a choice the devs made.”
— a player, Steam review · 41 hrs played“Yakuza 5 is the Y0's ancestor and truly the only game that could rival Y0 in how good it is as Y0 type of entry. Y0 is just a perfectly put together yakuza entry. Story, gameplay, combat, it's just chef's kiss, but yakuza 5 is where they went crazy and experimented with…”
