3.5 only because of archaic gameplay stuff, otherwise would be at least a 4 hands down.
rikiya my beloved... why did you have to go and do that... i cried so hard during that entire chapter
i loved all the new okinawa characters (minus tamashiro) and i find mine sooo interesting. the parallels between him and kiryu UGH i wanted him to have a redemption arc and marry daigo... why must all the cool yakuza antagonists die 😔
i had a great time with this game!! the combat is the weakest its been so far and the chase/flee segments can eat my entire ass, BUT the story and characters were very enjoyable for me. i love kiryu sm... man.
that hostess minigame is blasphemous tho

i loved it until halfway through the 3rd dungeon, where i started getting tired of the puzzles and foes. then the 4th dungeon made me drop the game for literally 2 years. then i finally decided to finish the game and just used a guide for the 5th dungeon bc fuck all that. also the flanderization of certain characters was really annoying, BUT it is also the game that made me fall in love with shinjiro.
it was really cool before that tho; i especially loved the bosses of dungeons 1-3 (i dont even remember the 4th and 5th ones). idk if i'll ever replay this game but uhhh yeah!

much better than the first game imo, and super fun! the second to last dungeon was especially fucky in the coolest way.
hikari was also pretty relatable and i cared much more about her than rei and zen

pretty cool game! a lil overrated imo but yeee
this game was... weird. but not in a bad way. it just kind of felt like putting persona characters in an smt world and that was a bit strange. but i had a lot of fun UNTIL THE LAST DUNGEON. why is it like that. also toki could've been so cool and interesting but they ruined her very quickly with her randon crush on the mc. the whole asahi vs toki thing was cringe af tbh
anyway love hallelujah and gaston became very cool god bless

i bought this game without doing much research and kind of wish i hadn't. however, it was fun enough! i dont really think about it after finishing it tho

i have done golden deer and blue lions routes so far.
very fun for a long time, but then it goes on too long and i get tired and just wanna beat the game. and then it just... ends out of nowhere and thats it? ok i guess... the characters are cool!

this game is SO fun and all the vibrant colors and music etc was such a breath of fresh air!! it's not perfect bc some of the character designs are questionable and its a bit tropey, but MAN i didnt expect to love so many of the characters like i did!! touma, eleanora, and yashiro my beloveds...
the ending credits also made me cry omg... itsuki finally singing a wholeass song like AAAAAA... but the final boss was way too easy sadly!!

disappointed by this one tbh... the gameplay was fun, but the story went downhill quickly for me. the dungeons after the 2nd one were a mess imo, except for the awesome terrifying lab one WHICH WAS TOO SHORT.
also what happened to konoe is SO fucked up and the way the PT still made him out to be the bad guy made my stomach turn tbh

i cried a lot. akechi and maruki you will always be famous. akeshu canon. poor sumi but also her potential was not fully recognized. almost everything was better than the original but the new ending didnt hit as hard... in fact it was kinda weird
first half was very cool. second half wtf. also the difficulty spikes. ending credits music is a bop

this game... i loved it. these characters... i love them...
there was so much fixed and improved from yakuza 3, like the combat and chase/flee scenes!! also some of the substories were so fuckin good. i did ALL of them (except amon bc lol) was LIVING for the campy moments. i laughed, i cried, i covered my mouth in shock... this game has it all
i love this lil foursome tbh im SO endeared by them... more!!! pls!!! the revelations were also amazing
THAT BEING SAID!!! the entire prison break sequence with saejima, fighting saito as saejima and kiryu, and some of the if-7 battles (fuckign SUGIUCHI) were the most frustrated ive EVER been with yakuza games. so i am not looking forward to replaying those sequences when i play the game again...
also i wouldve loved to see saito really get whats coming to him... hes a pos in game AND Horrible to fight in combat. there is no one i have wanted to see suffer more in yakuza. and that's saying something!!
anyway saejima sweeps and i hope hana eats well and learns to love herself for how she looks and yes P.S. THE MUSIC THAT PLAYS WHEN FIGHTING DAIGO ALMOST MADE ME CRY
