The Weakest Entry in the Series
It should be noted that this game is not bad but it's a reMASTER of a PS3 game unlike the Kiwami games which are reMAKEs of PS2 games. What that means is you are going to go into this and notice this game is missing a lot of Quality of Life improvements you are gonna miss from previous entries. Particularly with things we take for granted in more modern titles such as the amount of button presses, having to do an unnecessary amount of NPC interaction and non-stackable difficulty achievements. It's very much playable and familiar for those who played the newer titles but you are gonna notice what's missing and go, "Man, I miss this from Yakuza xxx." The main story is probably the most serious in the series that had potential with a great supporting cast, great villains such as Kanda, Hamazaki and Mine, and a solid amount of intrigue. But it's hamstrung by some weird decisions that didn't really age well such as toning down the comedy aspect of Majima, having a major character "return" but not really, a lot of the new characters have plot threads that go nowhere, and its really hamstrung by this feeling that they were going to retire Kiryu as a main character. (Spoilers: it isn't.) I also struggle to remember most of the side stories which are usually as good as the main narrative. I do recommend it but I can't say I was inclined to try and complete it compared to other games. It's rather low for me overall in the series.
Hilft dir das weiter?
