Opis
In this game, however, there is plenty for players of all skill levels, whether you are a franchise fan, or a newcomer to the world of Kazuma Kiryu, who is on his last outing here.
About the Game
The game is set in an open-world format and is played from a third-person perspective with high emphasis on over-the-top combat, with lots of beautifully engineered rag dolling to provide you with cathartic glee as you explore the surroundings! As mentioned above, Kazuma, Kiryu returns, and he is the only playable character in this game.
As well as his usual moves and combos, this time there is a variant of Dragon Spirit Mode (from Yakuza 5) which is called Extreme Heat Mode and it renders Kiryu invincible as long as his ‘heat’ lasts. As well as this, during Extreme Heat Mode, Kiryu’s usual combos are super-sized into Heat Actions that chew into an enemy’s health in no time!
The game is situated in two areas, the known and familiar (and subtly improved) Kamurocho red light district in downtown Tokyo that is the usual backdrop for the Yakuza games, and the new, more tranquil (until Kiryu arrives, anyway) area of Onomichi, which lies in the Hiroshima Prefecture, facing the Inland Sea. Action takes place in both areas as the story arc unfolds, but some substories and minigames are only playable in one location.
Realities of Gameplay
You may wonder if you are watching an anime series or playing a game at some points as the cut scenes can be very long, flowing into each other and running into lengthy minutes, up to half an hour or so at a time: but, the storyline is excellent, heart-warming, and well worth the time investment so buckle in and watch the story unfold before you get your turn to play again.
There is just one fighting style that Kiryu adopts, just as in the first games, because, presumably, it has worked for him so far and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, perhaps?
The backstory and tremendously minute detail of the whole series may seem a daunting prospect to newcomers to the series, but the developers are aware of potential issues and have planned for this. There is a reminisce feature that catches you up with any bits of backstory that you need to progress in the game, so you will be playing with an understanding of just why this guy is your enemy, and why it is so important to do what Kiryu needs to do.
While there is, of course, one overriding story arc that must be satisfactorily concluded, there are also various substories that Kiryu attends to while working towards his main story arc goals, and then there are the mini-games!
Many Mini-Games
There are a lot of mini-games to try your hand at, and the timer stops when Kiryu is working on a minigame, so you can take your time and work through as many of these as you can, as well as finding all the other ways to play through, make some yen and improve the community in your own unique Kiryu way.
