true ending to kiryu story arc
fh1477 January 2024
This ending fills to me like a true ending to kiryu story arc. It is what I have been longing for .

The gameplay is captivating in that certain way where you just keep doing side questing, beating people op, doing weirdo stuff in the City When You Begin doing it you can't stop, I certainly couldn't, I ended up. Defeating the final boss in nope time because I was so over power, because I keep going to the arena.

Difficulty isn't there most because we go back to the money system for upgrading your kiryu and that means you can buy so many healing items that the difficulty is more suggested about how fast you have to be to heal yourself, but if you put on a homemade rule to not heal yourself only with healing item to find in the level then it certainly challenging.

This time it was not a big villain. It was not a big boss of another syndicate. It is not one of the biggest competitions in the country. It is the guys on the ground who's being f* over who's the villains this time and it's so refreshing.

But I am not really here for that . All the all gameplay stuff is good. I enjoy it but I'm here for the story and the story is short. It's captivating. I love the character. I love my boi here , oh my god the story made me cry in the last half. It's just so much. I would not say anything more please play it yourself.

I absolutely love this game.

Warning: Spoilers
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is the perfect bridge between Yakuza 6 and 7 as well as 8. For being a smaller title, Gaiden blew me away with its story, and the ending cutscene with Joryu in tears over the Morning Glory children was incredibly emotional. Gaiden is one of RGG Studio's best titles to date. I'm excited to see what RGG Studio has in store for Infinite Wealth.

The gameplay is top notch, as to be expected from RGG Studio. While not as diverse as Lost Judgment, Gaiden has very satisfying combat which makes Joryu/Kiryu feel very powerful. The Yakuza style is full of fun and strong abilities to obtain. The returning feature of buying upgrades with money from 0 makes for an interesting dynamic where you have to balance buying items and upgrades.

Overall this game completely blew away my expectations and has quickly become one of my favourite titles from RGG Studios.
