I did the exact same thing with this game that I did with the previous one, which is go insanely hard for about 50 hours before burning out hard. This game is incredible but oh my god it's so dense and it just KEEPS going.

I will say, as someone who only got into the franchise at 7, it's a bit of a bummer that at a certain point in the plot you start having to spend every other chapter hanging out with Kiryu and essentially just going through Yakuza fanservice that means literally nothing to me. I thought switching the protagonist to Itchiban was an intentional way to start fresh guys?

The stupid Animal Crossing island mode kicks ass
