I really like this game. I've played it twice! It's still probably only my 5th favourite Yakuza game. It's just, kind of what it is. A sort of janky thrown together remake of the first Yakuza game. It's kind of funny thinking about how Yakuza 0 is this bespoke prequel and this game is what it is. Sega is a weird company.

Anyway, this game uses the Yakuza 5 engine like Yakuza 0 does. It's not very long. I think its got a pretty solid version of the combat, and some excellent mini-games. And also one of the worst car chases I've ever played in a video game.
