A nervous game from people deathly afraid of making Far Cry 3 again. The setting, the presentation, the progression; all as good as they've been, or ever will be for the series. Probably the last time this particular formula was fun.
Of course I'm the lone dissenting opinion on what is quite clearly a huge achievement in adaptation, and one of the most consistently detailed games I've played.
It doesn't light my fire. Lots of individual elements, scenarios, and options that I like and will continue to poke at but precious little that I actually love. Larian are geniuses of mechanics and systems design, and the flexibility of the narrative is the clear standout here.
I just... don't think these stories or characters are very good. I don't care about these people. The scenarios they set up are interesting but I've yet to be motivated by much beyond curiousity, some of it idle.

A decent time and the Yakuza format is still good fun. Kiryu continues to be a bottomless well of deeper feeling, but the game around him is assembled from the trim and offcuts of better Yakuzas. While I prefer the brawler games of yesteryear, the role-playing branch of the RGG tree is bearing more interesting fruit right now.
