I think this is peak Yakuza. Each character’s story was short but managed to still be entertaining, and they all have very different fighting styles, which was fun to play. The way their stories intertwined throughout the game, especially at the finale, was a tremendously satisfying payoff.

You still have your typical Yakuza BS(incredibly convenient “I knew the whole time/I betrayed you and you had no clue” story, cheap boss fights), and I feel that the substories were lacking, but if you know what to expect from a Yakuza game you’ll love this.
