Almost perfect, but still incredibly good. To start with my only real complaint is that Ichibans side of the narrative is not the same quality of Kiryu's side. It's not bad, far from it, you can just tell the narrative team had their priorities and that was with Kiryu.

Onto the good, so everything else. This is a celebration of the series for those that have played the rest of the series. This isn't to say that you can't come in playing only 7, but you will not enjoy it nearly as much. This is very much a Kiryu focused game and the finale to his arc, all of his failures, regrets, and learning how to live again after being broken down to his core. I'm not going to go into too many spoilers other than it's a beautiful game with a beautiful message.
