“Good entry in the Yakuza series. Solid story and a nice way of closing Kiryu's arc. Graphics look great especially if you're coming from Yakuza 5. However, after playing Y0 through Y5 I do start to feel a bit of burnout…”

“This is where my addition leads me. Game was decent but nothing special game plays wise. This game reminded me I needed to beat my kids because I haven't in a while. Wish the boss fights were harder though, this game…”

“This game was the perfect sendoff to Kiryu, his character arc is now complete. I love that we can still see and play as Kiryu in the later games but part of my heart wishes Yakuza 6 was his last game. Anyways, this is a…”

“It's just... peak. The long execution... making you wait for that moment.. the simplicity, yet complexity.. how it keeps you wanting more.. the mystery.. is this really the peak of it all? It won't always hit, but then…”

“Play Yakuza 0-6 on Easy. The Dragon of Dojima doesn't struggle with grunts. Let Kiryu Cook. It's not perfect, but it does have a lot of emotional payoff. It's also our introduction to the Dragon Engine, a HUGE leap in a…”

“yakuza 6 felt like a second try at the story of 3 you get to go into a small town that is very tropical and very vibrant and the story being good. yakuza 6 has an odd trope on it giving so much it gets confusing in the…”

“I liked how simple and focused the story was though it’s very obvious that going into a new engine put a strain on RGG and the game ended up feeling very limited with fewer mini-games and heat actions and Kamurocho…”

“Lots of people hated this game because of its engine, personally I loved it because of the story. If there was ever a game with such a good storyline that it made me forget about the new terribly optimized combat…”

“Not as polished as Kiwami 2, but still worth the experience if you're story focused.”

“It's good but bro I can't take anybody calling Kiryu "gramps" in game seriously when he looks younger than they do brochacho XD”

“A Mixed Game, there is good ideas, and bad ideas in there But still if you want experimentation on the Yakuza series This is the game, and Onomichi doesn't have much food or stores btw.”

“This is an alright game, took way less to fully complete than the previous ones and most of the story wasn't that good, definitely a weaker Yakuza title but by itself it is alright. 8/10”

“shortest yakuza game, but truely cuts above most of the franchise's former titles. Great conclusion, though I personally am not a fan of the dragon engine in terms of combat. It's definitely great base for an rpg game…”
