I really cannot decide if 4 or 5 is better. Yakuza 5 brings back fan-favorites and introduces new characters to straddle a weird story, but a good one nonetheless. It follows 5 main characters who each have their own play in the plot and portray their struggles passionately. I felt invested in each part, even though some of the gameplay felt a tad repetitive at times. Also, they had all their own locations to explore through, instead of the same ol' Kamurocho the other games are used to putting the protagonists in. Graphics were a small step up from 4, simply showing progress and limitations of the hardware it was on. Music was enjoyable, but I wouldn't exactly go back and listen individually, still memorable. Although, compared to the other Yakuza games, this definitely felt long. Twice the amount of hours compared to 4 on my playthrough, but I also did some small side stuff. Although, the length really reflects the passion they put into this one game. I'd totally recommend this once you finish 4, just remember to pace yourself a bit, as this is way more enjoyable if you do the side things that 5 offers.
