Possibly the best designed side content in an RGG title as of yet. The Friend Events are a brilliant addition and really made Kamurocho feel more alive, and also how different Side Cases overlap with each other made for a bunch of equally hilarious and interesting stories (Sashimi of the Fallen has to be one of my all-time favorite substories).
The minigames are also some of the best the series has to offer, with games like Kamuro of the Dead and Motor Raid being the highlight (I suck at fighting games, so I haven't touched Viruta Fighter 5).
The Drone racing is my favorite racing minigame, second only to Taxi racing in Yakuza 5.
I was planning to do all of the Side Cases, but I got burned out after 40 Side Cases, 38 Friends and 2 Girlfriends, and I was in Chapter 12, so I couldn't resist finishing the game.
The combat is the best in Dragon Engine titles, and I really liked the duality of the focused high-damage Tiger-style, and the wide-range low-damage Crane-style. Playing the game on Hard was a wise choice.
The story was amazing as usual, with the twists and turns characteristic of RGG titles. The cast are all amazing characters and Hamura is one of my favorite characters in the frachise.
The Finale is a 2-hour-long extravaganza of court room drama, over-the-top action sequences, and one of the best final bosses I've ever fought.
The opening drop was hard as fuck.
