This remake of the Japan-exclusive spinoff brings the Yakuza series to feudal Japan. Instead of beating people up, you can now rip them to shreds with a katana or shoot them, or both at the same time! I really enjoyed my time with the story and characters, and as usual with Yakuza games, the side stuff is also great. I did not particularly like the heavy grind in this game, but I could ignore that part with the free sword DLC you get relatively well (otherwise this review would probably be a lot more negative). Also, the many bonding side activities were a bit too much for my taste. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this entry, and I hope they bring Kenzan to the west too. Perfect game for the Steam Deck.
