This review contains spoilers

My first turn-based game. At first I wasn't sold on the turn based combat, and I was even more put off by the protag change from Kiryu to Ichiban, but I thought I should at least give the game a try given it's from my favourite game series.
I wasn't used to the combat on the first part of the game and I didn't like it. However, as I played the Hiratsuka boss fight, I started to like it from there on. But enough about the combat, what are my thoughts on the story?

The story follows a new face in the Like a Dragon series, Kasuga Ichiban (yes i use the JP naming order), and while that protag change did initially put me off, I started to love the guy literally during the first chapter. The way his lore is set up made me feel for the guy. Also, he's funny as fuck.

By far my favourite part in this game is the Omi/Tojo dissolution and Kiryu's appearance. I'm just a sucker for cool/serious scenes.

I don't know how to write reviews, so I think this'll do it for this game. Overall, great game, top three in the series for me (excluding the Judgment spinoffs.)
