Yakuza 6....what a ride it was! I'm working my way through all the Like A Dragon games. As others have said its the first game on the Dragon Engine and in a lot of ways it shows, combat is fun but can be a little janky and Kiryu feels overly simple in this even with all skills.
The substories in this are alright, theres a few standouts but they are mostly standard, the full voice acting elevates them but some of them are just rehashes of older ones, I honestly don't remember a lot of them.
The side content is mostly good? First you have spearfishing which is an on rails shooter, its fun, really simple once you get the best guns. You have Clan Creator which is offensive instead of defensive like Kiwami 2 its extremly overly simple and boring and probably has the worst achievement in Yakuza 6: 100 wins, its just mindless grinding for the sake of it. Baseball management is alright, but the baseball is a step down from Yakuza 5's which i ended up really loving. Oh and the Bar "minigame" isnt much of a game but its extremely cozy I wish the story of that was longer honestly!
Amon in this one is honestly maybe the easiest in the series, he has an awful instakill attack but...you can just ignore it by staying in extreme heat mode and chugging drinks the second you get out of extreme.
The story this time is fantastic though,really the highlight for me, outside of the main villain who is much weaker even compared to this game's own minor villains who are far more interesting, the cast and plot had me gripped the entire time, this game has some of my favorite moments in the franchise so far!
Worth mentioning that this is my first Like A Dragon game I got every single achievement on thanks to the devs finally realizing nobody wants to put the time to learn Mahjong on top of doing literally everything perfectly, the achievement list in this one was honestly just about right, beat it on legend, try every minigame, complete all the side story content with plots thats it! Excited to start 7!
