So that's how you ended the journey. Well at least as it should. I didn't want to spoil it for people, but if you are new to Yakuza, you would probably think the same. Later installments are clearly money milking. [H3]Summary Review: About Description Gᴀᴍᴇᴘʟᴀʏ Well at least if you come from Yakuza 0 like me, I wouldn't call the gameplay as fun as Yakuza 0 did. Maybe because it was prime Kiryu that made RGGS make Y0 combat fun, or Kiwami series and 6 were meant to follow its story. Overall it was better than remastered Kiryu, and at this point I just wanted to follow the story, so no hard difficulties like I did in Yakuza 0. Just normal one, and you can also enjoy easier if you want a fast story telling that attaches you to this series. It's not that clunky but still limited. Hey, it's Yakuza games. You expect the combat gameplay which, tbh, I would never call Yakuza game gameplay good action games. It's not that great tbh. I play fighting games and Yakuza never made sense. But I love the many variations of skills in this game. Now your followers fight along with you. It's better than 4 and 5. Sub quests, long side quests, mini games are also back. The problem is you no longer have the trouble finder item like Kiwami, so you need to search for them manually by walking around Kamurocho and Hiroshima. Overall, you wont get disappointed. Gʀᴀᴘʜɪᴄ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's better. Its night Kamurocho looks so much better. Following its story, we can now enjoy daylight because older games look so ass during the day, especially Y3. They really made a good view and graphic trick for night life in Kamurocho until this games a full real time rendering as it seem. But Y6 did make day missions look better, maybe because of engine limitation and SSAO back then. Well with that graphics, it comes with a price. I wouldn't call this game optimized. No matter what setting I used, it uses CPU so intensively. Low to high setting, eating CPU usage so bad. It had the same old problem just like the remaster series. What you need to do is to unlock your FPS rather than lock it at 30 or 60. Set that aside. Kiryu looks more intimidating. Expressions were good, except hub quests are now full of emotionless NPCs, including Kiryu. Not sure why the downgrade. Thanks Sega. Well if you have CPU usage issue, just set the FPS to unlimited. Thank me later. Mᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴀʏᴇʀ Yakuza 6 doesn't have any kind of online multiplayer. It does feature local two-player multiplayer for select arcade mini-games. Nothing special there. Cᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ Just like what the dev wanted, play it with a gamepad. i don’t even know how tf someone is still complaining this game ain’t fun using keyboard & mouse, literally they have better specs than me and can’t afford a cheap gamepad. oh wait, maybe because americans paying $80 for a branded gamepad made in china is funny, here in asia we buy the same quality for $20. eat that western Pʟᴀʏᴛɪᴍᴇ Up to 29h to 55h, welp i do have the same playtime, HLTB really does come from the community, not promotion btw. Sᴛᴏʀʏ I mean, bro kiryu’s story should have ended here. if you follow the series after this you might be disappointed later when you see him again. like i mentioned, kiryu kinda became something they keep bringing back to the series, let my guy rest RGGS... from Y0–Y6 babysitting the entire tojo clan is messed up, wtf is this, one clan carried by one guy... that’s the comedic thing about yakuza btw, but also kinda sad... but the story for Y6 does end well, 3 climaxes and plot twists behind plot twists, some unexpected things happen. weirdly i don’t even know why they bring different ethnic groups back and some of them feel out of place, maybe they just wanted that boyband guy in the game, you get the point... aand yea unlike previous games you only play as kiryu, no akiyama, but they all still exist, same with the others. overall for “the song of life” title... it’s not that sad tbh, yakuza 0 still holds the trophy, but it’s still a heartwarming story to end kiryu’s path. PC ᴘᴏʀᴛ Performance Test (For this review) • +60 FPS. • Run on NVME. • HD resolution. • CPU | Medium-High Usage (intensive) • GPU | Low Usage Game Optimization Kamurocho is the only map where it uses your CPU intesively, the more NPCs on the map the harder your CPU works. the problem is no matter what settings you use it keeps using the same resources, so set your graphics to medium or high.

Bᴜɢ / 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗 • Kiryu neesan. • Emotionless substories. • Unlimited CPU for less intensive usage. ⓘ Build ID 6657092 DLC Yakuza DLC is never worth it for substories, they’re just eh average side stories. Exᴛʀᴀ [VALVᴱ] Suggested Region Price Correct : 7 Cheaper : 19 Overprice : 15 Overal score : 5.5/10 I suggest you buy now because it seems yakuza games won’t go on sale, they already finished their promotion campaign for the PC launch. Community Health ✗ Toxic ✗ Moderator/Developer Problem Note : Worth Oᴘᴘɪɴɪᴏɴ Probably gonna go on a hiatus before playing the next installment, maybe. Judgment is my next target :) Rᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ?

I'm not salty at all that Majima progressively gets less and less screentime for each installment; I can't wait for him to be in the next game for just a still image.

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.
