Gets too much hate, while I do think a lot of the criticism for this game is fair, especially when it comes to some of the annoying mechanics and boss design being disappointing, this was the most fun I've had exploring the world in a FromSoft game besides Elden Ring. The DLC's improve upon the base game quite a bit, with some of the bosses there being genuinely great.

Lot of hit or miss with this game. Combat never stops being fun with Yakuza but I didn't enjoy the story too much. The villains are boring except for one of them and the way some of the characters behave makes the game feel disconnected from the rest of the series. Still recommend playing but it wasn't my favorite.

Highly advise anybody to play this AFTER RDR2, adds so much depth to the story and its characters. Still an amazing experience on its own, and I found this game's ending to be even more emotional than RDR2's. Some sections can drag a bit, and the gameplay isn't the best. But these flaws don't really take away from how enjoyable it is. A must play just like the sequel.

Pretty good. As much as I love seeing Kiryu happy the first part of the story definitely drags quite a bit. The latter half just jumps straight into the action though so the pacing is not too great either. Still recommend playing because this game is very important to Kiryu's character going forward.

So fun. With all the different approaches this game provides when it comes to stealth, experimenting and messing around with flashy takedowns is very enjoyable. The chaos system does suck, because unless you don't care about the flow of the story, the game pretty much incentivizes you to do almost everything non-lethally. Even with its faults, I'd still recommend it to anyone.
