Honestly, very boring walking around expecting to find randomly whatever the game wants you to find. I liked infinite wealth better. A lot of boring dialog, and it is so painstaking to have to smash button A to try to move it along. I think I spent 80% of my time trying to skip boring dialog.

Really dont know what to say about this one TBH. Its... ok? I think? The story had what seemed like good beats, but like some of the other Yakuza/LaD games, the sheer amount of characters + japanese names makes it really difficult to keep track of things, and some of the characters resembling characters from pervious games didn't help. I also feel like you will get more out of this game if you are already familiar with the time period and the historical events this game depicts, multiple times in the main and side stories I felt like the game was going "HEY LOOK! ITS *THAT GUY* WE ALL KNOW WHO *THAT GUY* IS RIGHT? LOOK HOW SILLY HE IS DESPITE BEING *THAT GUY*" so I feel like I missed out on context a lot of the time. The game has a glossary, but its SUPER bare bones and only defines 1 or 2 terms for english speakers. And as others have said the game can be really grindy, thankfully unless your going for 100% (God's speed you mad bastards o7) you can ignore it for the most part. Frankly, I'd only recommend this game if you are already familiar with japanese history of this era, or are caught up on the other Yakuza/LaD/Judgment/ect games and still REALLY want to play another one.

Great spin-off. Based on actual Japanese history using familiar faces from the Yakuza series. Really good voice acting + dialogues.
