Beautiful story to end the legendary Dragon of Dojima. It's another heartwarming story which is short yet wonderful. Villians are just so sick, like Joon-Gi's too fucking good, a throwback to Y2 at the same time. And also, about throwbacks, this game captures tons of references to the past. I'd say it mainly did of Yakuza 3 a lot in this game, with even them sharing VA's. Characters like Someya are one of the best in the series and they God damn fit so well for how far Kiryu has come.

Music in the game are pretty nice, Destiny and Way of Life are fucking top tier but other than that the rock and orchestra combination fits the game. I like how some are similar to old tracks, like the long battle theme being similar to Illtreatment from 3's melody. Only a small amount feel generic like when you get spotted by thugs. It's great music overall, fitting for the end of everything theme 'Song of Life' they were going for.

Twists were nice, which is rare in the series! Only thing this game suffers is lack of activity in Hiroshima and how it brings back Akiyama, he never sticks to his ideals and is all like 'Well you'd do better than me anyways' despite literally going against and fighting Kiryu, mehh. Second is... combat, Someya and Joon-Gi are pretty good fights, but its overall TOO dodgy, your hits don't feel powerful or rewarding.

One of the best video games in my opinion, as this made me love Yakuza after finishing 1. Firstly even by watching the bosses alone, the pacing is clean, clean as shit. It's all amazing and perfectly done. Second, the story even if it takes two characters manages to focus on both at the same time in a healthy form. In my opinion Majima's story was more interesting but they tie up to each other in the end. Both characters' young selves show the struggles they're going through and how they were back then, amazing stuff. The combat is probably the best, even better than Yakuza 5. One thing, upgrading is a pain in the ass, the system is explained well but it just doesn't work well... Unless you become a millionaire. Side content for the game are great aswell, and the story's solid as fuck. Amazing game, 10/10.


The game was originally inspired by the german serial killer, ''Amon Gus'', it has a dark past but it's meant to replicate his crimes that are suspicious and sustained throughout the game. I don't get it but whenever I open up the game sus and similar gibberish appear over my screen, I tried to close the game but it gave me one of those astronauts in yellow shaking it's ass, after I saw that I couldn't keep it up for atleast a few months. The game has ruined my life in points I can't explain. I'm kept hostage around a year for now, I'd like this whole 'Among us' witchcraft to get out of my head before I snap out. It'd be nice if anyone were able to come over InnerSloth Headquarters.

Great potential with cool ideas, terrible writing with awful jokes every 5 seconds, takes you out of the scene's feeling
