Absolutely incredible puzzle game! Deciphering the glyphs is so extremely satisfying and the message of this game is very thoughtful. The art style and sound design really help set the tone of this game. Don’t want to spoil any more of it for anyone so….just go play it and you won’t be disappointed!!

Fun way to show off the new Playstation options. Collecting all the artifacts feels very satisfying.

Clearly the most dated game in the franchise. I struggled a lot with the combat and side quest tracking. That being said, I did enjoy the story even though it’s super corny. Kiryu really deserved some downtime in Okinawa after everything he’s suffered through.

Finished on Steamdeck, including Foundation and AWE DLC
I was a bit weary at first as the type of gameplay isn’t my usual jam. I did get the hang of things once I managed to upgrade some skills, but some parts of the game were tediously difficult.
That being said: the story is very intriguing and right up my alley! I think Jesse is a great protag - and getting to know the other characters around the bureau was fun. Especially finding all of Dr Darling’s little videos scattered around - definitely a highlight for me.
As for the DLC: I thought i’d enjoy the AWE dlc more it being about Alan Wake and all, but I found the combat endlessly frustrating. Dr. Hartman truly was the bane of my existence. The Foundation DLC was much more enjoyable - both gameplay and storywise.
Overall i’m pleasantly surprised by this game. Will definitely play the sequel!!

Very fun game overall. I think it’s one of the better installments in the franchise, though it’s not as good as Until Dawn. Would definitely recommend playing this with a friend on the first playthrough.

Very fun game, however some of the co-op features could’ve been better. The mini games gave it some variety, though 100%ing is a bit tedious.

I never played the original, so I don’t have anything to compare it too. I’m not too big on DLC’s in general either but this was a pretty good one. Plus you can’t really go wrong with more Ada and Wesker.

Played this in co-op all the way through. It was fun to play, but nothing special. Levels were a bit of a hit or miss situation. Ran into some trouble with the depth perception quite a few times throughout the game.

It’s been exactly 2 years since I finished my first Yakuza franchise game (Lost Judgement) and i’m no where near done! So of course i had to start my 2024 by finishing another installment.
I’m going to be honest: I find this game difficult to rate. There are some really high highs and some very low lows in this game. Getting to play as five(!!) main protagonists in this was great. Shinada was a great addition with an interesting story, as well as playing all the rythm games as Haruka. Having all their stories connect is both the strong and the weak point of this game. I love figuring out the plot, but the story just drags on forever - i feel like they wanted to much and just….kept adding unnecessary stuff. Some plotpoints felt forced and certain gameplay parts took forever (looking at you Saejima).
Yet, overall, i think it’s a very memorable installment. Way more than Yakuza 4 (which I actually enjoyed, in contrary to many others i believe). Plus getting to play as my personal favourite Akiyama wins the game some point. Settling on a 3,5 stars rating for now.

A short but sweet puzzle game where communication is key. Some of the puzzles took some time to figure out but they aren't too difficult overall. It's fun to piece together parts of the storyline together with the other player. The ending really surprised me (in a good way)!
Fun game overall! I would rate this a 3 1/2 stars.

I was afraid i’d get super frustrated with this game but failing the levels actually made me want to finish the entire thing. (+ the art style is gorgeous, but no surprise there)

Gaiden a.k.a. the only Yakuza game i was able to 100%. Had heard a lot of good things about this installment and was pretty excited to play it!! Definitely surpassed my expectations - i’m really hoping RGG makes shorter games like this. The fighting and leveling system worked really well and wasn’t too grindy like other yakuza games. Game had a bunch of new memorable and enjoyable characters which left me wanting more!!! The way Kiryu was written felt human and heartfelt. The ending was a real tear jerker. Onto Infinite Wealth now!

What’s there to say? I enjoyed it a lot and the finale is just twist after twist. It’s a bit much, but that’s honestly part of the charm. The Majima Saga was a nice touch, though the gameplay is a bit repetitive.

This game has been sitting in my steam library for years on end. Got it in a sale once, played the first hour or so and left it backlogged for ages.
With Alan Wake 2 catching my attention, i’ve decided to give this game another go - mind you this is not the remastered version. I really vibe story thematics and the general idea of this game. Finding the missing pages and uncovering more of the story alongside Alan was great! However gameplay wise i think the game has become a bit dated, sometimes even excruciatingly difficult for no good reason at all. Don’t think i’d play this again, but it was fun nonetheless!

Great co-op platforming game! Loved unlocking the different skins and creatures. Scratch cards were a fun little touch :) though the grind to get platinum is a bit too much
