You must have played the previous games for this game to hit you the right way. I've played through all the Yakuzas so far. I'm pretty picky about games I write reviews for. They have to strike my fancy in a very specific way. I reviewed Yakuza Kiwami, Kiwami 4 and Like a Dragon negatively for the way the story played out. In my opinion, Yakuza games often suffer from "we need to finish this" syndrome, where the story accelerates at an unsustainable pace and you have some weird mechanic that trumps all the effort you put. I don't have infinite time, so I try to maximise my efficiency. That usually means grinding out the money-making minigames as fast as possible, which is a chore.

The Man Who Erased His Name is perfect. The soundtrack is the best out of all the games. The graphics are the best out of all the games. The game is optimised so much that I've run the entire thing on 144 fps, 2k ultra, while streaming. The story is absolutely amazing, so much so that I even shed a tear (or two) at the end of the game, although I won't spoil you the reason. There is no grinding that is no rewarding. They took all the complaints from the last few games and simply avoided adding the problematic components of the previous games. Beautiful game, whole way through.

The two people who watched this game with me agree, this was the best game out of all the games, from every aspect.
