Where it all began, huh!
This is indeed a fire game. For it being the first Yakuza game, it sets a gameplay style that would only keep improving, and it's already solid, but unpolished.
The story is nothing much to write home about on its own, but it would set themes that are further explored in the rest of the franchise (thankfully it kept going) which are great.
Family, bonds, hanging onto your own beliefs, that's what makes Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku what it is!
...alongside some damn good action sequences.
Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this game.
Shoutouts to Intelligence for Violence, the best track in the game which plays a lot more than in the remake (which I'll have to write my thoughts about once I replay it later).
May the legend of the Dragon of Dojima live on!
