This is actually the first Yakuza game I completed myself (I've watched lets plays of others) and I had a pretty good time! I definitely am in a space where my preference of stories is something more simple like a murder mystery compared to anything about saving the world. Maybe that's what getting old really is: once you learn the diagram of what "saving the world" would entail, you start thinking "well ok what about stories where A Problem gets Definitely Solved?"
