April 2025

Hard to judge this game since it is the real first Yakuza was a PS2 game, but the remake really does make things better. I do like this game’s story and combat that was carried over from 0. However, the story does still feel like a downgrade compared to 0, but that’s kind of to be expected. This game benefited greatly from using Kiryu’s 3 combat styles from 0. The story is great, tho while it can be slow at times, I thought the final boss and fights were a perfect way to end it. The music is also great in the game, with a lot of iconic tracks getting redone to make them even better. The sub-stories in this game are also pretty good. Well, I feel like they aren’t as good as zero. They still really stand out with a couple of pretty funny and memorable ones. What stands out is Majima everywhere because he is EVERYWHERE. I really do love that he’s constantly ambushing you, and it actually made me pretty good at the combat in all three styles. Plus, battling Majima in mini-games makes the experience even better. Once he’s at SSS rank, things became a nightmare. I would constantly have to have a full inventory of energy drinks just in case, and it really became a headache if I ran into him just trying to do something else. Plus, unlocking all of the 4th style revolves around farming him, which is really tiring. Speaking of which, the healing mechanics are stupid and require you to use a specific style’s heat action in order to cancel them. I feel like that specifically really helped to make boss fights way longer than they should be because you’ll be in the middle of a combo, and then the boss can regain all of their health before you have a chance to change styles and cancel it. I’m glad this wasn’t added to later games. However, what I really think this game lacks is a lot of the variety of content that other Yakuza games have. Pocket Circuit Fighters is a great addition, but that’s really the only fun game, with the new version of the rock-paper-scissors game still being pretty RNG-dependent, and the rest are just very small mini-games. Overall, I think this game is still pretty fun, coming from Yakuza 0; however, a lot of the content that 0 has, and even other Yakuza games compared to this one, is low. This is excusable since this is the first ever Yakuza game, and while the remakes try to put it on the same level as other games, it still feels empty at times.

Out of all the Yakuza games. This is my favorite. Majima Everywhere, a goofy way to level up Dragon Style The story of finding your missing love interest All of it to make the Top 3 yakuza games. YAKUZA KIWAMI 3 PLEASE

Dec. 2024

Coming from Yakuza Zero, I'll say that I personally preferred Zero's story more. But because I experienced Zero, it made the the story of this game hit so much harder. And just like Zero, everything from the story, characters, and combat are great.

Oct. 2024

this game is very good, the only thing its missing is a 32 minute long making out cutscene between kiryu and majima. there may not be any rainbow flags in this game, but when those two are on screen, the atmosphere is gayer than a pride parade despite the fact theyre both (probably) straight

Sept. 2024

Yakuza cured my depression. Like, genuinely I was going through a bad break-up from a great relationship with my first love that was nearly 5 years strong until a month ago as of this review being posted. I was already in the middle of playing the story when it happened, so I when I went into a deep depressive state, I just figured I'd keep playing the story so I can see what happens. The more the story progressed, the more bad guys I pummeled, the more goofy substories and mini-games I completed, I almost forgot I was suppose to be sad in the first place. Yakuza made me realize that what happened was for the best, and I'm better off coming out of it the way I did instead of possibly suffering further. No use lingering on the past though, nothing to do then other than press on
