What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Maybe because it was prime Kiryu that made RGGS make Y0 combat fun, or Kiwami series and 6 were meant to follow its story.
Well at least if you come from Yakuza 0 like me, I wouldn't call the gameplay as fun as Yakuza 0 did.
Well with that graphics, it comes with a price.
The OST is an absolutely underrated gem in the series, delivering a perfect blend of emotional depth and high-energy tracks.
Just like what the dev wanted, play it with a gamepad. i don’t even know how tf someone is still complaining this game ain’t fun using keyboard & mouse, literally they have better specs than me and can’t afford a cheap gamepad. oh wait, maybe because americans paying $80 for a branded gamepad made in china is funny, here in asia we buy the same quality for $20. eat that western
