A great entry in the Yakuza series with possibly the best combat.
The story was somehow more convoluted than Yakuza 4, but the finale wraps it up nicely.
The game has so much more content than any other entry and the substories was of more quality than 3 and 4.
Kiryu's part is my second favorite. The Taxi missions and races were really enjoyable and I spent about 4 hours trying to finish all of them.
My favorite part has to be Haruka's. I just love rhythm games and the story ties with the whole game in a great way. Saejima's part was somewhat less enjoyable, especially the second half. The first half of Shinada's part gave me a stroke, but I really liked him as a character. His reactions and mannerisms felt so real than any other protagonist.
The final chapter was overwhelming to say the least and I really liked how the game ended. Fuck the final boss though, he had like a million health bars.
Truly an amazing experience.
They should have made a spin-off of Haruka's part called Haruka Kiwami or something.
