At the start of 2025 I thought I'd play this whole series in order. Managed to finish them all from 0-6 and thought the story was absolutely incredible. Kiryu is such a great well made character and it feels like I've pretty much played through most of his life. I played Gaiden first over a year ago which then made me want to see the story in order. Glad I finally got through them all, 3, 4 and 5 do show their age though and were a bit of a slog but overall a solid 9/10 game series.

Yakuza 6 is a fantastic conclusion to Kiryu's saga, wrapping up his story in a way that feels both emotional and satisfying, even though Kiryu returns in later titles. The new minigames and fresh location in Onomichi are a blast, and the graphics look stunning, really bringing the world to life. It's noticeably shorter than previous entries, making it much easier to 100%, but that doesn’t take away from the overall experience. It's a great entry in the series, even if it feels like the end of an era for the Dragon of Dojima.

Pros: - The game is gorgeous because it uses the same Dragon Engine as Yakuza Kiwami 2. Seeing Kiryu in high definition is always a joy. I loved taking screenshots of this game. - Substories, Characters, and cinematography are simply top-tier. Aside from the aesthetics brought about by the dragon engine, RGG studios really put a lot of effort into making this a hype game. - Clan creator mini-game is actually a lot better than in YK2. I loved the Majima Construction aspect in YK2, but the gameplay itself wasn’t my kind of flavor. This one is much easier to stomach and the accompanying story is pretty fun. - You get to chat with Anri Okita and Yua Mikami. - Ono-Michio is one of the greatest video game characters ever created. Cons: - Still the same Dragon Engine problems. This game actually came before YK2, so it was even less-optimized. There was a bit of pop-in with the video game assets (I am playing from an HDD, not an SSD, but no other Yakuza game had pop-ins as big as entire buildings). Movement is still a bit slip-and-slidey and the combat is trimmed down. This game really feels like a dry-run for the Dragon Engine. - Probably my least favorite game in terms of side-content and post-game content. Once you finish the main story, there isn’t much else to do in this game. There’s no pool mini-game. No cabaret club mini-game. You can only play as Kiryu so I already maxed out his stats before I finished the main plot. This game really shaves off a lot of content from the previous games despite being in a better game engine. - I know it’s a staple of the series, but this game really has an absurd plot. Who knew that having sex could lead to pregnancy?! Whaaaa?! - Considering it’s an end to the Kiryu saga, a lot of characters built up over the games are forgotten and delegated to EXTREMELY minor roles. Sad to see, but I heard they have bigger roles in Yakuza: Like A Dragon so I can’t wait to play it. This is my least-liked game in the series overall. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad game, but if I had to choose between playing Yakuza 3 or yakuza 6, I would choose Okinawa Daddy Kiryu any day. Plot-wise a very solid game, but it just lacks a bit of the side-stuff that I really enjoy from the series.

This one’s a banger. And trust me — I’ve played seven of them back-to-back, I know bangers. After 100%ing Yakuza 0 to 6, I’ve laughed, cried, screamed, and questioned my sanity more times than Kiryu’s punched people in the face (and that’s saying something). Yakuza 6 feels like saying goodbye to an old friend — one who beat up half of Japan but still found time to raise a baby. This series changed me. Underrated? Criminally (especially in my country...bah). Worth it? Absolutely. One day, I just hope to be a dad half as cool as Kiryu Kazuma. Ps: Thanks to the person who showed me the yakuza games! Im thankful! :) Pps: Yeah, @Vorcyx, its you, calm down! xD

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.
