One of the stronger entries for sure! The addition of new protagonists contrasts well with Kiryu's personality, and while the story gets convoluted it makes me care about the new people we meet.
Early impressions on chapter 5: This game is far stronger narratively than any of the previous yakuza entries. I love my hobo family.
This review contains spoilers
As with the other games in the franchise it has high highs and low lows but a lovable cast of characters that make up for the weaknesses in plot and gameplay.
On the gameplay end this one is dragon engine again which I like significantly better than the alternative used in the rest of the series sans kiwami 2.
Story wise, it starts out strong with the introduction of some lovable new characters, but falters towards the end when it tries to redeem a domestic abuser, and then Kiryu seems to learn none of the lessons the game seems to be trying to teach him.
