Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
178 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
overall for “the song of life” title... it’s not that sad tbh, yakuza 0 still holds the trophy, but it’s still a heartwarming story to end kiryu’s path.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Maybe because it was prime Kiryu that made RGGS make Y0 combat fun, or Kiwami series and 6 were meant to follow its story.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

Some mechanics of combat feel great as well, such as Heat Actions and Extreme Heat, the physics system, while goofy and sometimes annoying, is kinda fun and the side content (substories, minigames, etc.) is generally excellent, besides maybe some subpar animation work during dialogue.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There’s just something special about returning to familiar locations with updated graphics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The OST is an absolutely underrated gem in the series, delivering a perfect blend of emotional depth and high-energy tracks.
