Most of the game takes place in Sotonbori, somewhere many series fans will know and love. With the events occurring within the same timeframe as Like a Dragon 7, it feels more like a proper ending for Kiryu than Yakuza 6. The game itself delivers the same over-the-top fights, side stories and mini-games galore. The side stories don't hit the same highs as previous instalments, though, and rather than encountering them throughout the city, they are dispensed by a central agent. At the end of the day, the games play fantastic, look fantastic and know how to give you an emotional gut punch that felt like it was delivered by Kiryu personally.
