Very good. The Dragon engine is very impressive visually, and there's a lot of game on offer. Lots of minigames and side content. Pretty silly story (this is a running Yakuza theme) but it has some great moments and a good villain.
After playing games 0-6 I can say I'm not a huge fan of the new combat system. It's definitely more fluid, but doesn't have the satisfying and brutal impact of the Yakuza 5/0/Kiwami 1 combat. Kiryu and enemies get knocked around a little too easily, and pounding a guy's face in just isn't quite as visceral, especially when he proceeds to ragdoll and fly off the screen.
Still, it has been improved from 6 with equippable weapons being added back, better charge attacks etc.
