This one hurts. The combat and gameplay of this game is extremely dated since it is the oldest that has not got the phenomenal kiwami treatment. The story in this one is weak comparatively. Sure there are still plenty of moments of that yakuza series charm and heart that I still cracked a few smiles here and there, but the story is near meaningless until the last 3 chapters. Yes, morning glory orphanage is cute but wow it feels like half this game you are either lecturing your kids on various life lessons, or you are searching for your kids that wandered off. It just didn't make for an interesting game at the end of the day. This game will be a big disappointment for anyone looking to play-through the series in the modern day.
