Working my way through the Yakuza series and coming to this after Kiwami 1 and 2 was a bit jarring.

As the other two are full remakes, this being a remaster doesn't have the same quality of life improvements and it feels a bit dated.

The main story is fun but I would have liked to have spent more time in Okinawa as Kamurocho felt quite empty in this game. Splitting it across two cities and not having either live up to their full potential holds the game back. I didn't feel compelled to really dive into the side-quests in this one either.

I still had a great time with the game but I'm happy to move on to the next entry now.
