In terms of side-content, music, gameplay and so on, 5 is an absolute blast and peaks above even the current entries of the series, and it is certainly the longest out of all of them.

Narratively, the campaign weaves a huge interconnected web, anchored by top-tier character work across the roster.

This game is a remaster version of a game from 2012, but the graphics still are great, do not expect the smoothness of 1-2 Kiwami remakes.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would also like to mention that the soundtrack is really good and is one of the best in the series.
