Frankly, Majima's entire combat vibe is to be flexible, with lots of dashes and deftful movement, only for your most reliable attack to be one that locks you down.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

​Deep Customization: The ability to customize Goro Majima’s appearance is a great touch.
Performance

I love the crew dynamic and, this being my first Yakuza game I played in the English dub, I absolutely loved the voice acting and how close it made all the crew feel.
