This is probably the most heartfelt entry in the series.
I'll argue it has the best story of all Yakuza games, surpassing both 0 and 2.
Unfortunately even after playing the game I didn't get used to the combat shift from Action to Turn based, and I still quite don't like it; for its first attempt, it feels too simple and a little slow at points. There are RPGs with far better combat I'm afraid.

But, damn, the story in this game... It really is a great freaking ride. I can't stress it enough.
