Phenomenal fucking video game

7 parts Kiryuu-san gave shit to everyone around him and finally received a well-deserved eternal vacation. A perfectly finished series of games. Biblethump.

Perfect.
One of the most emotional stories in Kiryu's whole saga and I wish I could rate this higher but the combat is atrocious and there's so much content missing
Aizawa could have been the dad and i would have been fine with it if battle for a dream was playing
This game is good. First dragon engine game so I can forgive for any gameplay stuff being a little yknow but anyway very good plot imo. Perhaps the most overhated game in the series? From what I’ve seen in the community? I disagree. This game is very strong thematically and works as a great study of kiryu as a father figure, the theme of parenthood is very present and well done, and it ends quite satisfyingly emotionally. I do have problems with the story but idk it’s just good I think
Too many of my tears were shed due to this game... A somewhat misunderstood entry of the franchise in my eyes. The combat is extremely clunky and the leveling system is made by an insane person but It's also some of the most fun I've had in the entire series. Wrapped together with a beautiful but bittersweet story, Yakuza 6 is amazing.
Top 3 yakuza story but the gameplay really drags it down. It's still really good gameplay but nowhere up to par with the rest of yakuza. It was especially jarring right after playing the yakuza with the best combat (y5). The combat becomes very fun once Kiryu is fully levelled but that shouldn't be endgame only. The final boss felt amazing though especially because of the scene preceding it.
This game is really beautiful and at some points is better than kiwami 2 visually. Onomichi is a really cool looking location, I wish there was more to do there though. My favourite part about this game visually though is Kamurocho. I could probably spend an hour just walking around looking at the really cool sights and details all over the map. W sweat physics dragon engine.
I think the ending was amazing and was near perfect I was spoiled for a big plot point because of LAD:G's existence but it still hit the same for me. The main characters in this game are so compelling and have their own motives that make sense and are very human.
9/10 better than yakuza 3,4 and kiwami 2

Pour la "dernière" histoire de Kiryu je dirai Ue ça manque de poids et la lettre à daigo ne fait aucun sens ils ont franchement raté la scène
Sim, esse é o "final" que o Kiryu merecia!
Chegamos ao fim da maratona, o cansaço chegou, então essa review vai ser mais dinâmica, vamos aos pontos:
• História
Alta qualidade como já se esperava. Ótima ideia ter sido algo mais sentimental e pessoal, combinou com a proposta e foi bem executada, só achei que lá pro meio meteram muita informação (tem 4 "facções" diferentes, uma delas nd a ver) e não deu pra pegar tudo. O final é um baita destaque que fecha as pontas soltas e honra o legado do Dragão de Dojima.
• Combate
1ª entrada na nova engine, a galera quis tentar algo diferente, não é surpresa ter sido bem experimental. Não é ruim, mas ter saído do 4 e 5 que são o ápice da fórmula pra isso desanima de início, mas você vai upando o boneco e o combate vai ficando melhor, dá pra se acostumar.
• Exploração
Se tem algo que a Dragon Engine fez de bom, foi criar um mundo aberto muito mais gostoso de se explorar. As melhorias de qualidade de vida são excelentes, de modo que você até cria gosto pra enfrentar os inimigos aleatórios, fazer missões secundárias, minigames, só porque é muito divertido.
• Impressões gerais positivas
Yakuza 6 me fez perceber que eu prefiro histórias mais objetivas e enxutas. Me fez perceber que quando se foca em um protagonista, a chance de dar bom é maior. Me fez perceber que curtir um jogo no seu tempo é ótimo. Foi ótimo terminar a saga com um gosto bom.
• Impressões gerais negativas
Claro, eu preferiria que o jogo não tivesse tantos antagonistas, preferiria que a "cara de conclusão" não se restringisse às últimas horas de jogo, assim como que o desempenho não fosse tão ruim no Xbox One, porque 23 fps é de ferrar.
• Conclusão
No geral, é uma experiência sólida que com certeza vai agradar a quem jogou os jogos anteriores. Apesar de saber que o Kiryu não foi apagado da franquia nesse título, eu ficaria satisfeita caso sua aparição realmente terminasse aqui.

i cried for 400 years
Uma linda despedida
incredible game, what a conclusion to the kiryu saga, exploring the different bonds between parents and child, blood related or not and executed so well.
the game finally made kiryu realize what he needed to do to finally keep haruka and his kids safe is to walk away, his history is too damaging to everyone around him wether it's intentionally or not, as sad as it is its what needed.
this game also introduced way too many amazing characters, from SOMEYA, hirose, yuta, kurusu, joon-gi, big lo and iwami.(yes i said iwami)
the only problems (well its a really big problems) dragon engine, i know this is the first DE game. but my god is the combat so buggy and delayed and the in-game cutscenes look stiff.

I'M DRAGGING YOU TO HELL WITH ME LITTLE BABY IWAMI.
Yakuza 6 was surprisingly a fire ass game. Y6 is the 1st game on the dragon engine and it adds some very nice changes such as being able to enter buildings without a loading screen or the removal of intros in random encounters.
The combat of the game didn't click with me at first and it is clearly not as good as some the previous entries in the series, but after some upgrades it suddenly clicked, and i started loving the combat.
Extreme heat mode is 1 of the reasons why i love the combat, it can get you out of sticky situations and it can make bosses way easier. My only complaints about the combat is that the enemies block a bit too much, and for some reason they removed the equippable weapons.
The bosses are mostly very solid, but i wish some of them had more health bars. My favorite bosses in the game are: Akiyama, Yuta Usami, korean Vergil, Toru Hirose and the third Takumi Someya fight.
Out of all the rgg games that i've played, this is easily the best looking game both graphically and visually, and good lord this game has some very good looking cutscenes such as the one before the Yuta boss fight.
Y6 also brings a new location to the table which is onimichi. Even tho i think that onomichi is one of the weaker cities in the series, it was still a nice addition, and it has a tofu shop owned by the GOAT pocket circuit fighter.
The substories were pretty solid but not as good as the substories of the previous entries. Spear fishing and clan fighting were pretty fun side content but i wasn't a big fan of the baseball stuff.
Now lets get to the best part of the game and that is the story. Yakuza 6's story for me is on par with Y0 and Y5's story which is a very high bar. The game introduces a bunch of new characters. The hirose family are some very loveable characters, and my favorite of the bunch is Nagumo, who would've thought that the tutorial boss would become such a fun and memorable side character?
Yuta Usami is another well written side character that i loved, and him being the father of Haruto was quite unexpected but thankfully he isn't a horrible person.
As for the villains of the game well there are some good ones and a bad one. Takumi Someya is my favorite villain in Y6, in the final chapter we get to see how he cares for his ex wife Kiyomi and his daughter and that deep down he isn't a terrible person such as another villain that i will talk about soon, and he even sacrifices his life to save Kiyomi, but sadly he died thinking Kiyomi was dead. Toru Hirose is the other villain (not 100% sure if he is considered one) that i like, at first you think that he is just a funny old man, but then you find out that he is a very intimidating old man. Toru Hirose's backstory was very intriguing and he probably reminded Kiryu of Kazama, and like Takumi Someya he gets quite a sad death. Tsuneo Iwami is genuinely one of the most hateable, kickable, punchable, slappable villains i have ever seen, if they were aiming to make the most unlovable villain ever then they did a damn good job. Iwami ain't even very strong, dude got his ass kicked by Kiryu who suffered some heavy blows just before the fight.Sugai fucking sucks. What about the protagonist Kiryu? Well its fucking Kiryu! He is obviously a hot and amazingly well written protagonist.
As for the music well it fricking slaps! My favorite songs are:
Lots of lights which plays during the final long battle
Destiny which plays during the final Someya fight
Brother brother which is Nagumo's boss theme
The way of life which is Tsuneo Iwami's boss theme.
Overall i personally think that Yakuza 6 is insanely underrated and even tho it has a few issues i am still gonna give it a nice
9.5/10

Haruto fofo
I want to rate this game 4.5, but I can't. That level up system is so shit. Coatless Kiryu is my 2nd favorite Kiryu right behind IW Kiryu. I really wish Haruka got to do more. This game is awesome, faults and all.
RIP Kiryu
It is a good game, the story is amazing and honestly it basically carries the whole game, it has a special place in my heart and shows some of the best character work on the whole series. The gameplay is where it falters for me, it feels very floaty and unresponsive, but can still be enjoyable, however it is not as addictive as other entries in the series have been for me. The less said about the leveling system the better. Overall it is a game let down by the growing pains it got from the change in engine, but is still very much worth a try.
haruto is a better character than 95% of the cast from yakuza 3 to 5, and considering he's a literal baby who can't talk and barely walk, it's crazy

One of the strongest Yakuza games. In many aspects, it feels like they took what they failed on in Yakuza 3 and improved on it. The plot was strong and I will forever defend the boat.
Kiryu is amazing and depressed in this and the themes of failed father-son relationships run deep with pairs such as Big Lo and Jimmy, Big Lo and Yuta, Kurusu and Little Baby Iwami, and Kurusu and Hirose.
Despite Daigo being nowhere as present in the story as in previous games, this game made him and his relationship to Kiryu seem so much more important. The letter to him being formed as to at first seem like it would be aimed at Haruka and then hitting the player with the reveal that it was to Daigo was truly peak.
Iwami was a really hateable character, and it was a nice change of pace from villains that were humanized a lot in the prior games, which has been a trademark of the series. It felt satisfying to get at him, especially after the act of cowardice he displayed with Haruka.
However, the side cast was somewhat lacking. That might be especially highlighted after playing Yakuza 5, but characters like Kiyomi and Matsunaga don't really get fleshed out and remain pretty one-dimensional. The fake killing of Kiyomi was pretty weird as well. Kiryu's departure would've hit a bit harder if she actually had passed. Not to say it didn't hit hard though.
Regarding the side content, the sub stories were amazing, even more so as they were voiced, and quite adorable. Minigames were a bit sparse though. Karaoke was as enjoyable as ever.
Overall, an amazing story and good side stuff. Love it.

Something something, a great Yakuza game when you don't have someone in your ear saying it's bad. Yes, the combat feels goofy, but the soundtrack, the Dragon Engine and so many aspects of this game feel great. Someya bros...
Don't belive in the Yakuza Fanbase, this game is awsome, i really like this game very much. And it's end the Yakuza franchise well, besides being a game not so good as his predecessor, having a gameplay not good as other titles ( Yakuza 2 og and Yakuza 5 for a exemple), it's a very good game.
good last mainline game for kiryu. solid story
Juegazo! Super emotivo, final perfecto para el tito Kiryu 🙌
This was certainly a ride.
Gameplay-wise I'm not too big of a fan of some of the Dragon Engine's physics, such as the hitbounce for one, and the early game takes a hit due to the combo speed too, which feels worse than the previous games. However, it taketh away, and giveth. Extreme Heat is such a cool mechanic that gives some satisfying tools, even though it does feel overpowered at times.
Story-wise I kept thinking "this is Yakuza 3 2" through the first few Onomichi chapters. It was nice.
I'm willing to be the Hirose family's strongest soldier, they're all good. Bless you, Nagumo
The last third of the game wasn't messing around at all with the amount of revelations and implications from each.
As always, they never miss with the final stretch in terms of making anyone pumped.
Banger soundtrack
Shoutouts to Korean Vergil and Takumi Someya
Wonder if we'll see the Dragon of Dojima again...

man, it's been over a week since i finished this game and i'm still having a hard time trying to parse my feelings on it. yeah sure i could talk about the gameplay and shit but really i've just been struggling to digest the story,,, like thinking about the parallels between the things haruka does in this game and the shit kiryu's done in the past makes me want to start clutching my head in AGONY she really takes after her dad huh,,,,,,
so much of the game made me so upset but like. (usually) not because the writing made me mad but just because you can really tell they were planning on ending kiryu's story here, and the whole thing is just one bittersweet farewell to this,, stupid, stubborn, horribly-emotionally-repressed-and-dense-but-somehow-still-lovable-in-spite-of-it mf we've been stuck with for so many games now. the shots of haruto taking his first steps in the very last cutscene interspersed w kiryu walking away from the orphanage for the last time made me actually start crying like a baby, no lie,,, like damn it's such a sad way for things to end but with this asshole's track record of running away from things it sure is in-character,,,,,,,
knowing he's gonna come back later does perhaps diminish the effects of an ending like that a little bit, but still, like. damn. i think i'm kinda rambling at this point and this is definitely wordier than probably every review i've posted so far but AUGH i just have so many THOUGHTS about this GAME!!!!!!!!
(i AM going to say as a last word that the only thing in this game that made me absolutely fucking FURIOUS was kiryu's bum ass writing that bullshit letter to daigo about how he always viewed himself as a father to him IN THE HOSPITAL ROOM WITH HARUKA RIGHT FUCKING BEHIND HIM!!!! YOU DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FATHERLY FOR THAT MAN AT ANY POINT EVER AND YOU HAVE THE GALL TO SAY THAT WHILE YOUR ACTUAL DAUGHTER WHO YOU HAVE RAISED ON YOUR OWN SINCE SHE WAS LIKE 10 JUST WOKE UP FROM A COMA AND IS SITTING LESS THAN 5 FEET AWAY FROM YOU!?!?!??! YOU FUCKIGN DEADBEAT MORON AOUUUUUGH I HATE YOU)

This yakuza is the most beautiful one, the best karaoke and ummmmmmmmm... Hirose Family is cool.
Story is mixed with beautiful moments and great characters, but a lot of things feels so wrong.
THE WORST COMBAT IN THE SERIES WITH THE WORST PROGRESSION SYSTEM.
Dragon engine gives some cool QOL changes and makes the game sooooooooooooo beautiful. I wish more yakuza games had voiced substories like 6. Side content was fine. OST is a banger.
I still liked yakuza 6, but could be much better.

Even though this game took me a week to beat, it was still a joy to play. It felt a lot like 3 in some places and that's good. There's not as much stuff in it as 5 but it is on a new engine to them so I can't blame them. I really enjoyed this game. The game made me cry!
kiryu turns into an actual mythological monster in this game
hes a real dragon it rules so much
hes a real dragon it rules so much
