The Final Chapter, and final part to the legendary Kazuma Kiryu the unshakable and invincible Dragon of Dojima. The most well known legend of both Kamurocho, and the hearts of RPG fans.

So what did I think about Yakuza 6 The Song of Life?

Well if you want me to be as tough against it as possible, I didn't like this game. At least, not as much as the rest of the series. It's not a terrible game, but playing the games in canon order really showed how barebones the game was.

With Kiwami 2 blowing it out of the water with content, and polish. And 5 being the most Yakuza of the series with tons of extra bits and bobs as well as plots and things to do. 6 comes off as less than the some of it's parts.

I was frustrated by the dismal money drops though that could be just my luck speaking, I was often left completely broke and needing to grind off stream for money. The story would often lock out combat encounters so that somewhat blow that plan up, and the story somewhat rail roading you into the main quests and less about the side content also bugged me. Without a side quest finder exploring the city became a game of chicken on if I'd find anything extra to do.

Well, was there anything I enjoyed? Of course there was!

6's story was easily one of the more engaging. However with how much love I can throw at it, I can just as easily poke more holes into it. With key characters just getting written off leaving tons of potential on the table. Thankfully the newer cast is great! With it being the last will probably see of them it kinda sucks that the more established cast gets a send off from Kiryu that was just a literal letter.

Tons of the side content I did see was great call backs to the entire series, which was just heart warming to see. There was also an amazing selection of arcade games probably the best of any of them.

And the dragon engine once again makes the stylistic graphics absolutely shine. It's a fantastic looking game, and the vistas you can see will have you just in awe.

This is probably the most I've written about any of these games, and it's clear I'm on the negative side on it. But if it's your favorite, or how you got into the series I am so happy to hear. Just because I didn't enjoy it doesn't make it the worst because 3 still exists!
