Finished in 2024

Yakuza 6 aka Kiryu forgot to teach sex ed at the orphanage.

All jokes aside: I know this installment had mixed reactions from fans, but I honestly liked this way better than yakuza 5. I’m a bit over the Haruka as damsel in distress trope though, but I think the overall narrative and story of 6 was powerful. The final chapter really hit hard for me.

Having played the story consecutively 0 through 6: i’m glad we’re back on the dragon engine. I honestly don’t know why people hate this combat/leveling system so much, i’ve been thoroughly enjoying it.

Great send-off for Kiryu for now (even though we’re getting 8 soon).
