Easily a 10/10

If you enjoyed the first game, you’re going to love this one even more
The amount of side content and activities is absolutely insane

An amazing sendoff for a beloved character and a great jrpg all around.

Classic Jrpg with a modern paint of coat . All classes are fun with really good synergy with one another. Setting up the best team is part of the fun .

Storywise its a bit weaker compare to its prequel but from what i can see they are setting up a very strong foundation for a sequel. All the pieces from 2 games are in places with how the ending plays out, I can see how some people might find the ending a let down especially how Ichiban kinda get side benched a lot on the later half.

Also Kiryu's part of the game depends on your knowledge of the series since there are a lot of callback from previous games. The impact would be low if people started playing the series from LAD instead of Kiryu's saga All and all its a very solid jjrpg on its own and a very good entry for yakuza series.

I went into this game blindly, since negative reviews can sometimes discourage potential players from giving a game a chance — and I'm so glad I did! Trust me when I say this is probably one of the best modern turn-based JRPGs you'll ever play. Just be prepared to sink a lot of hours into it, as games in this genre typically take 50+ hours to complete.
