This game felt like a mixed bag for me as i have the opposite problems I had with yakuza 3 in this game which was the story. I felt the story felt very samey compared to the previous plots from past games. what I find interesting and im not sure if this was a remastered feature is that this ties very well with yakuza 0 as one of the characters is connected to majima. The 4 playable characters was a interesting idea in concept. but it feels spread too thin because by the time you get invested in one of the characters stories you get sent to the next character. Gameplay wise, by the time you get the full moveset of the character, you are already done with the character's part (except if you are kiryu). Also the final boss is probably the worst fight in the entire series from how annoying it is. Kiryus role in the story felt like an after thought since he comes very late into the story as he just comes to finish the job of the ongoing problem in the plot. Overall an improvement with the combat, but has a worse story with good protagonists
