Story

162 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The narrative hits with incredible force, delivering an emotional payoff even stronger than *Yakuza 6*.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Superb storytelling and acting from the entire cast and some fun/over the top additions to the combat system(s) this time around.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Both Yakuza and Agent style are a blast to use, and the mechanics used in the Judgment games such as the Juggling and Ultimate Counter are brought in here which are always fun and very satisfying to pull off.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Overall the graphics are solid but not a huge step up, and Sotenbori gets stale fast.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The fighting animations as well as the world are updated and seemless with every door not having loading screens and alot of Osaka Tombori open world + tv grade cut scenes with great voice acting and a plethora of quests and side quests to play through.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Packed with diverse match types, it allows you to recruit and directly control a huge roster of secondary characters and sub-story allies from past titles.
