Ishin is an excellent 'What If?' type story in the Yakuza-verse, and continues the franchises tradition of balancing a intense, gritty story alongside slapstick-level side missions. An easy recommendation for all.

My one word of warning will be that it feels like the game needed a deep-dive video on Japanse history for westerners as clueless as me - it really throws you in the deep end!
