Backlog Resolution: Yakuza 0 Chapter 9 (Part 2)
Something rather enjoyable that I've noticed regarding the main plot is that Kuze actually is increasing in difficulty each time we fight him, and at a pretty good pace for the story as well. Now that he's decided to stop acting like a motorcycle punk and fight us with his allies, he's a decent challenge this time around. Compared to Nishitani from later on, who seems to get easier the second time around, and the Mr. Shakedowns who don't really seem to be getting more difficult relative to their number of defeats, Kuze is doing his job as the full game rival boss pretty well.
Yakuza 0 is the 11th game in the "Like A Dragon" series, and the 6th mainline release. A prequel RPG set in 1988, the open-world game puts players in the shoes of two of the franchise's most famous figures: Kazama Kiryu and Goro Majima. Published by Sega in 2015, Yakuza 0 is credited for bringing the series out of obscurity in the US and Europe, pushing "Like a Dragon" into a new era of international popularity.
