The start of the Yakuza series, remade. It's really good. It's essentially Yakuza 0, but with the original games story, which has been expanded upon, to mixed effects. The expansion on cutscenes and characters are phenomenal, and really enhance the story tremendously, though some missions pad out the game with extra fluff, for example the funeral mission, what was a simple grab an item and go task in the PS2 game is a multi part task that is just tedious.

The Majima everywhere is hilarious fun but I do think that with both it and Komaki, and the story itself being rather short, you aren't going to really fully unlock the dragon style in a normal playthrough. In fact, in mine it was a pretty crap style with how far I got it.

Overall I highly recommend this game, as either the first or in my opinion second game you play in the series (following 0)
