The open-world design feels so empty and pointless. The rewards you get for exploration feel lacklustre and not worth the effort it takes to get them. Did not enjoy my time with the game.
Just a fun Yakuza game. The story is all over the place, with a lot of the middle chapters feeling like filler nonsense, and the gameplay becomes very boring with only the one fighting style that gets old quickly. The Dragon Engine is great though.
It's beautiful, but it feels so unfair at points. I was dying and struggling for a lot of it due to missing pixel-perfect jumps or failing to land on tiny platforms. I'm already bad at platformers, so I know I will never finish this.
Nice little narrative romp. Mae is annoying at times though. Might do a second playthrough for the alternate friendship route, but it doesn't feel like much would change with the story at all.
