Considering this is RGG's third action game done in the new Dragon Engine it's impressive that it already feels much better than the other two titles, Kiwami 2 and Yakuza 6, but while improving on a lot it also tries new things that are somewhat hit or miss. Overall though at its core it's still very much so a Yakuza type game, where the main story takes a break with substories; the usual stuff. Regardless it's safe to say they didn't reinvent the wheel, but it sure is a good step in a new direction.
