Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

Old game, same old Kiryu, and somehow still ridiculously fun. Great story, peak Yakuza nonsense, hilarious side quests, and street fights that feel more like stress relief than actual combat. Probably the easiest Yakuza I’ve played, but watching Kiryu turn every thug into a walking punching bag never gets old.

Really good but has the worst anti-aliasing I have ever seen

This one is a huge upgrade in terms of presentation compared to the previous entries, animations and environments look incredible, the entire game is voice acted, going into buildings and watching cutscenes don’t require loading screens in between. Combat is mostly the same as previous games, the progression system allows you to raise stats or unlock moves via experience. Side stories are here, all fully voice acted and are entertaining from what I experienced. Old and new mini games are here as well. The story is a little shorter compared to most of the other games but filled with tons of epic and emotional entertaining moments and fun new characters that all have moments of character growth. The story also has tons of plot twists that are actually exciting to see play out. Aside from the great looking Kamurochō that is back, we go to Onomichi a small city by the ocean which also looks amazing. All in all while the combat may feel the same over the series, the quality of the of story and the visual presentation make this one of the best in the series.
