This was my introduction to the series off the back of the SBFP LP that had just started - RIP to the shitlords - and I've fallen in love with the series since.

It's a modern day evolution of your old school beat 'em up with a gripping crime drama as the main story, and also a bunch of completely insane and wacky shit that shows up in the side stories. Throw in two supremely compelling player characters in Kiryu and Majima, and the city of Kamurocho which is essentially a character on its own, and you have a recipe for greatness.
