The GOAT

Perfection

Perfect story. The greatest gameplay ever. Improves on its predecessor in every single way. Some of the best boss battles. One of the best soundtracks in gaming history.

Incredible story and characters. The best gameplay at that point in the series. Introduces quite a lot of new mechanics. Amazing boss battles. Wall attacks are ridiculously fun.

Didn’t like initially but loved second time around. Amazing story. Really fun gameplay. Some of the best fan service moments ever. Progression system is awesome.

Massive. Ambitious.Very long. 5 playable characters who are all great. Jam packed with content. Best combat of the mainline games pre 0.

Short and Sweet. The best Kiryu combat yet. Colosseum mode slaps. Great Story. One of the best final bosses. Features the most emotional scene in gaming history.

Love the dragon engine. Beautiful graphics. Really good gameplay. Weapons a bit too strong. Great story. Stupid ending.

Love the dragon engine. Good story but a weak "sendoff" for Kiryu. A twist with mixed responses but I enjoyed it. Excellent boss battles and gameplay.

A little underrated. 4 playable characters who are all great (except Saejima). Big improvement in gameplay over 3. Weak story and stupid twists.

Good. Short. Love the Majima Everywhere system. Boss battles are painful. 10 years in the joint made you a fucking pussy.

Mediocre. Slow. Half of it doesn’t feel like a Yakuza game. Dated graphics and gameplay. Enemies block everything. In desperate need of the Kiwami treatment.
