About Yakuza 6: The Song of Life

✦ AI summary

Fresh out of prison, Kazuma Kiryu must protect his surrogate daughter's newborn son while uncovering the truth behind her mysterious coma in this gritty crime drama spanning Tokyo and a coastal Japanese town. Yakuza 6 blends explosive hand-to-hand combat, compelling character-driven storytelling, and a wealth of minigames and distractions across beautifully realized locations powered by a new generation engine.


In Yakuza 6, Kazuma Kiryu will find out exactly how much people are willing to sacrifice for family - be those ties through blood or bond - when he investigates a series of shadowy events that involve the ones he holds closest to his heart. Fresh out of a three-year prison sentence, an older and weathered Kiryu comes to find out that his surrogate daughter, Haruka, has gone missing from the orphanage he looks after. The trail leads him to his old stomping grounds in Kamurocho, where he discovers that she has been struck by a car and now lies in a coma. To make matters worse, Kiryu learns that Haruka now has a son that he must look after. With baby in hand, Kiryu journeys to the seaside town of Onomichi, Hiroshima to unravel the truth about Haruka, her son, and a sinister secret that the Hiroshima yakuza are harboring.

From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game's blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.

Enter the “Dragon Engine” - Explore the world of Yakuza like never before. Yakuza 6 is the first current-gen Yakuza title that was developed from the ground up for the current-gen hardware, introducing the seedy Japanese underworld with detailed visuals, lifelike animations, a new physics engine, interactive storefronts, seamless transitions and more.

Explore Kamurocho Reborn and the Scenic Views of Onomichi - The hypnotic lights, opportunistic inhabitants, and hedonistic distractions of Kamurocho look better than ever. Revamped minigames like karaoke, batting cages, darts, hostesses, and the SEGA arcade have been streamlined for maximum pleasure, and new additions like the RIZAP Gym, Cat Café, and Clan Creator are the purrfect distractions after a long night of bashing heads! But it’s also time to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life to play tourist in beautiful Onomichi. This tranquil coastal community is home to plenty of local activities like bar mingling, spearfishing (think action-packed rail shooter … with fish), and more!

Let the Bodies Hit the Floor - Yakuza 6 Kiryu is a 100% certified badass, so that means he’s a battle-hardened veteran when it comes to the art of street fighting. Although he utilizes one fighting style this time around, you best believe Kiryu hits like a truck. Devastating combos and bone-breaking Heat Actions make a return, but now the Dragon of Dojima can fill up a meter to engage Extreme Heat Mode. When activated, Kiryu glows blue and unleashes heavy-damage combos with his fists or any “tool” that’s close at hand.

Fully Voiced Japanese Audio - For the first time in series history, every line and piece of dialogue is fully voiced in Japanese. Let the dramatic story and absurd humor of the series unfold like an interactive foreign film experience.

Great story, Dragon engine's combat system though is worse than seeing Nikocado Avocado's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Wish meaningful actions during in-fights cutscenes had more quick time events, otherwise it makes u feel more like a spectator than the player

My favourite Yakuza game after Y0. So many good characters and refreshing fights and cutscenes because of the dragon engine. Really well written story overall with the typical yakuza twists. It was totally worth it playing all the games in order - what a journey it has been.

Wow. What an amazing end to this saga. It was so great to be back in the dragon engine and the game looks amazing!! The story was one of the best in all of the yakuza games I've played so far. The fighting, the substories, the baseball, all of it was chef's kiss. Cannot wait to start Like a Dragon with a new MC (!!) and turn based combat? Play Yakuza please :)

A nice conclusion to the Kiryu Saga :) I really enjoyed Yakuza 6, it built upon Yakuza 5 in a really nice way while having a really interesting and intriguing story that tied almost every loose end relatively well. I found the story to be overall pretty good, there were some parts that were a bit odd or didn't make that much sense but they weren't too common. It's also just a classic case of Yakuza stories not really making too much sense until you finally uncover the big mystery at the end of the game. All the characters introduced in Yakuza 6 are pretty lovable as well :) I really liked them by the end. The new location of Onomichi is probably up there of my favourite locations in the entire Yakuza series, It's genuinely so beautiful :) A quiet town with great scenery and an interesting and unique design. I do however wish that it had just a bit more stuff to do. Funnily enough a Mahjong parlour would've fit the Onomichi vibe perfectly (Also I've finally started to try and learn a bit of Mahjong and it only took me 7 games to try it out) I also really like the Dragon Engine, I know that its kinda controversial but overall I think its an improvement, the character models lo…

Yakuza 6 sits in a weird position. It's basically the first game that's made with the Dragon Engine and it shows that the devs aren't really used to it. If you have played the series in numbered order (which is what most PC gamers will have done, since the originals are near impossible to find) you'll notice that Kiwami 2 is much of an improvement than this game. Graphically it looks somehow better and worse than the previous entry. Better, because you can see a lot of amazing details and textures. Worse, because it's in this weird saturated color scheme that somehow sucks the life out of the Yakuza-series. Something that I always loved is how Kamurocho looked so alluring and vivid in nightlife, but absolutely a place you never wanted to be during the day. Now Kamurocho looks like a hospitable place both day and night. Also, everything feels much more emptier. Gambling and the Colosseum are surprisingly absent here, despite being in every previous iteration. And while the neighborhood in Hiroshima is supposed to be so small, you can't help but feel how empty it is. And as much as I like the sub-stories, some are a bit... I don't know, weird, even for Yakuza. The one with the girl …
