“i want to like it, but it's just such a damn slog. battles are slow and repetitive, even by turn based standards. leveling up is extremely slow, and the side content that has you hunting specific enemies always has you…”

“This is one of those games that's hard to review. Like all Yakuza games it features interesting characters, lots of charm and fun dialog. But... the RPG mechanics and game loop just didn't work for me. And since you do…”

“Repurchased the game while on sale just to play it again! Great game with an even greater story, and the connection it has to the other Yakuza games is amazing. There so much that develops in this game's story that is…”
