Yakuza 3 Remastered is a mixed bag. On one hand, the classic Yakuza melodrama is in full force, the combat is satisfying, and I genuinely cared about the characters. But man, it's definitely showing its age. The visuals, especially when compared to later Yakuza games, are rough. Some of the minigames are a slog, and the pacing feels weird. It's a must-play for Yakuza diehards to get the full story, but honestly, I'd recommend jumping into the series with 0 or Kiwami instead.
