The sleuthing side of the Yakuza franchise calling back to their more action focused combat. The game has built upon the first game, adding Yokohama from Like a Dragon. The main thing I don't like about it is its focused on a private school and the people that go there. It tends to lean a bit into stereotypes and has beating down kids, who in fair, deserve it. The main mystery is fascinating and expertly weaves everything into it. Aside from that, the game is solid, beautiful, mysterious and fascinating to just be a part of the world. Saying goodbye to Yagami due to real world politics is a shame but I'm excited to potentially play as Kaito in future iterations.
