Probably my second favourite main Yakuza game after 0.

What I like:
- Story is focused on a single main character and delivers a much better narrative,
- Almost everything is voiced over,
- Combat moved to dragon engine and feels more fluid and responsive,
- mini games are more streamlined and fit more into the story,
- Snack Bar was great,
- Major leap in terms of graphical fidelity

What I do not like:
- Kyriu desperately lacks super armor and can get easily interrupted and floored by even the weakest schmucks that die to a firm stare.
- Super Sayan Blue mode is a massive disappointment and a downgrade from Yakuza 5. It is extremely short and gets easily staggered often leading up to whole heat going to complete waste. On top of that they now locked majority of heat moves behind that which boggles the mind given how niche and generally useless it is.
- While Clan Creator is somewhat fun, its story and main characters are completely disconnected from main story and only serve to break immersion by ... making zero sense whatsoever. I could not care less about any of them and just started to skip all cutscenes later on... a shame since someone did put effort to write and voice dialogues.
