One of the best "value for money" games you can buy. There is so much content in this game which has ridiculous amount of effort put into it, as well as a top notch dramatic story which clocks in around 30hr of playtime.
The characters are extremely memorable and likeable, and the writing strikes a perfect balance of serious and silly. The combat was decent enough (Majima is absolutely broken) but I felt like it was a little clunky at times and could be improved on. My only other gripe is that while the story is top notch, there are times where the characters yap way too much for me.
As my introduction to the Yakuza series, I'm excited to see how the rest of the series unfolds.
