Maybe combat is a bit frustrating, but it helped me to get better in yakuza series. Great story, but not perfect. Orphanage stuff is great (idk why a lot of fans complains about it). Okinawa is beautiful, but lacks things to do here.
Side content is weak, I don't remember any substory.
I'm not against Kiwami 3, but OG 3 still holds up.

Such a great story, memorable characters, great ending, good plot, fun combat in a short DLC. 30$ is a bit much but I got LJ ultimate edition for 40$ so I don't complain. Only new game+ is missing.

I didn't care about the story at all and enjoy it a lot. The best stealth game for me, many possibilities that never ends, could play it forever.

Once you get good in it, gameplay is extremely satisfying.
Even noob players can have fun there.
But better with friends, playing with random people can be confusing.

2024 and it still the best YAKUZA experience in every way. Maybe not the perfect introduction to series, but there is no better one imo.

RGG cooked hard with story, characters, plot, action, only the pacing in first half is too slow.
Playing as Yagami is fun, but Dragon Engine is still flawed in this game, unbalanced styles, lack of weapons, still much better than Y6 and kiwami 2.
Detective missions sucks, tailing = suffering.
Side content is meh, only liked drone racing. Substories meh, friendship is okay, but too many friends to farm, Yagami's girlfriends are whatever.
So yeah, story carries.

Cool ideas, fun with friends, some pretty good maps. Yeah its roblox looking ass but who cares.

Cool to play after yakuza 0, still very fun, good story, majima everywhere funny first time, but gets really repetitive. Flawed as a remake, but it still a good game.

Really liked it despite many flaws.
I haven't played OG 2 so enjoyed its very good story, combat kinda fun, but its a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG downgrade to kiwami 1 and 0. Liked the side content and bouncers missions. Majima Saga is whatever.

ICHIBAN IS THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah great story, very fresh one to the series, great message, ending broke me.
I liked the step into jRPG, but the combat is undercooked, too grindy, unbalanced skills, but I still enjoyed it.
Probably my favorite side content in the series including substories and minigames.

This spin-off is really great, so glad it came out to the west.
Good story with good message, but not very special one.
Combat feels great, but requires too much grind, I HATE CRAFTING, fighting with pistol is funny, only brawler is shit.
Side content is mixed, has really cool minigames, some good substories, great unique karaoke, but friendship stuff sucks.
I guess its a remake, but they barely add needed QOL like faster skipping dialogues or better inventory which frustrates me.
Banger OST.

Milkman level alone makes this game 11/10, im serious.

Its a dead game now, but back then it was almost perfect casual shooter.

My favorite casual shooter. Lots of variety in classes, lot of fun ways to play and very simple, but never gets boring. If only progression wasn't based on stupid loot boxes.
Sadly its dead now, only a few lobbies left.
Thats the EA for you.
