I had pretty low expectations coming into this after hearing it was the worst of the series, and I was not looking forward to the technical downgrade from Kiwami 1&2 to this being the oldest in the franchise

I will say I am pleasantly surprised! The game is so damn chill. Going from defusing 33 bombs to save the city of Kamarocho, to gathering up the kids for dinner. The city of Okinawa is such a breath of fresh air after being in Kamarocho and Sotenbori for 3 games straight. I love the summer aesthetic. Plus I didn't feel like it was a huge technical downgrade despite the games age, it runs well and feels at its core like every Yakuza game. Great time
