This is my first time playing Ishin, but I have played all other localized entries in the series & spinoffs besides 5,6 and Dead Souls.

I loved my time with this, and while I do have some minor complains, overall it's a superb entry and one of my favourites in the series.

Initially I was a bit put off by the combat and how overpowered the guns felt in the early game, but the more time I spent using the Wild Dancer style & Katana, I never looked back.

Combat is satisfying, and solid.

Originally, I was a bit put off by the combat demo, because it felt a lot less fluid than Lost Judgement did. However, after playing the full game, I can easily compare it with Yakuza 0's combat, which by itself is a great compliment.

Story is REALLY good, one of the best of the series imo.

If you like RGG games, I can't recommend this enough!

Main Story takes about 22~ hours if you don't focus on side objectives.
