Yakuza 5 has the audacity to have a narrative this bogged down with pacing issues and lame reveals only to simultaneously have the rawest gameplay of the series. FML I wish I could rate narrative and gameplay separately on here because, boy, the story for this game drags hard at points. But the gameplay is peak. Like, it's incredible. It's the best the series has ever felt to play and I recommend it on that alone. Plus it's got one of the best Kiryu designs.
