This is a banger. And believe me, i knooooow bangers! So. I completed Yakuza 0 to 6 at 100% achievments. And i had the most fun, sad, happy, depressed, i wanna smash my keyboard, FCK THIS DUDE, etc...journey of ma life tho. This is a great end, before the like a dragon Series starts. Like...wow. What this game and series has done to me...from 0-6...i hate how underrated this game series is (especially in my country). Im really gratefull that a good person out there has shown me those games...like, they are one of my favorites now. I will recommend these games to everyone. JUST PLAY IT. They are worth. Ps: One day i wanna be a dad like kiryu....

Edit - Make sure if your using controller you enable it through game>properties>controller>enable steam input. To avoid the fps lag bug, was abit shocked when starting up the game thinking i would not be able to continue my adventure through Kiryus saga. This took me a bit of googling but it works. I have been playing these games continuously from 0 to 6 and still have like a dragon, gaiden and ishin to complete after this. Let me just say this game takes off directly after yakuza 5, and its graphics are enhanced with the dragon engine much like kiwami 2, once again cinematic genius. I am devastated much akin to kiwami 2 this game does not have an epic cinematic montage start of the game but rather enters the games story with a massive cutscene. As all dialogue is voice acted you can skip sentences after reading if you prefer a faster pace, also a setting you can hide the "skip" buttoin that annoyingly pops up every spoken line without losing its function (should be default tbh). I also wish some of these games would remain consistent with how substories and things are tracked but this could be because i am playing them sequentially one after the next without long breaks.. None the less this is still an amazing game and worth making your way through the series to this point. These games have been helping me through a hard time in my life and i am thankful i discovered them when i did and would recommend them to anybody after a crazy dramatic action packed story. A massive time investment but very much worth it.

Yakuza 6 is the "final game" on the original saga of Kazuma Kiryu, and it remained as such for several years before RGG picked it back up on Gaiden. Even so, I'm pretty sure at that time they were treating this game as the final game to be telling the story or the Dragon of Dojima. It also released after Yakuza 0 was made, as such, this game aims to wrap up the entire story arch they had built up prior. The game uses the "Dragon Engine", a new engine that revamped and replaced the base framework they were using before, and it is immediately noticeable how different it is. If you've played Kiwami 2 then it won't be as much of a surprise, but the jump from 5 to 6 is very drastic (even though 5 already showed many great advancements). Now unfortunately I'm not sure of the exact reason but Y6 is a little bit polarizing when taken as a whole. On one side, the graphics revamp and story are fantastic, almost every single dialogue is voice acted (besides some minor inner thoughts by Kiryu). All of these are great factors. Unfortunately in the side content department it lacks a lot that earlier entries had as a default. While it has a few new minigames proper to it, a lot of classic side activities are missing. I still greatly enjoyed the game but I did feel like part of the usual Yakuza fun factor was missing. Perhaps its due to the tone of the game? Though this had not stopped them before. Also, there's a distinct lack of interactable NPCs, I suppose due to them aiming to voice most characters, a bit of charm is lost due to this in my opinion. Besides the previous point, the game is still highly enjoyable. The new city of Onomichi has a completely different vibe from previous cities in the series, its a more relaxed town that tells it's own story, despite not sharing many facilities like one is used to, it's still very enjoyable to roam around in. Sharing a final topic about the completion aspect, overall its nowhere near as hard nor long like some of the previous titles, however there are a number of activities which require a LOT of grinding for no apparent reason. It's not just doing a certain activity until you get good, but rather repeating the same thing over and over to meet a certain number of times executed. I found it quite annoying and not many previous titles ask anything similar to this degree, given that this type of grinding is needed for a number different activities. Overall, of course I love it and I appreciate it in somehow closing the story arc for Kiryu, the ending not being all painted pink adds to the struggle that the series hopes to convey, Knowing that it was made as a send of fills me with emotion with the ending. Of course, playing this on 2025 I know the story is not quite over, so I'm eagerly awaiting to get to the next games soon enough.
