Kiryu himself at first had zero appeal to me, but he grew on me as the game progressed (mostly cause there were more parts of him showing actual emotion in the end).

I also like characters, like Date, The Florist, and Haruka (her running off and getting kidnapped multiple times was annoying tho). His descent from throughout the years in which Kiryu was in jail for was particularly well done, and completely understood his motivation (even if he didn't have a whole lot of screen time outside of the flashback scenes). The story is really cool, especially Nishikiyama, the main villain. These side activities, are surprisingly well done too, for example Billiards is surprisingly deep with it's mechanics for being a minigame within a game. It's lovingly detailed and really sells the urban jungle vibe, from bustling big streets to narrow dark alleyways. Kamurocho is small but dense with activities and things to do. The different Kiryu fighting styles are interesting and help break up the monotony when it's starts getting repetitive. It was an absolute blast most of the time, I enjoy the brawler gameplay (with a few exceptions). And following suit with SEGA’s commitment to the Yakuza series, the game will release in both physical and digital formats in the west.Played and finished Yakuza Kiwami over the last couple weeks (Friend told me to start with that one)
