![]() ![]() +Good graphics, effects and soundtrack, consistent with the series. Even though it unlocks 2 areas to explore, there's not really much to do in them (especially if you've played previous titles) except grind for levels. The game is lacking in this kind of side-content for the last 3rd of the playthrough. They have cut out most of the "go there and have some angry men start a fight with you" missions and put them into a separate section where they can be largely ignored. +Very good sub-stories with multiple parts and recurring characters. ![]() That said I'm a little worried that the writers will make them star in so many sequels until they too, become very tired and disinterested in what the plot wants from them. Their personal investment in the events and antagonists really help the game stand above previous instalments, where it was mostly the plot dragging Kiryu back to save the Tojo clan again. +The new character cast is strong and really helps the main storyline become more interesting. Yet you'll still come back because the endgame gear costs ~10 million yen a piece and this game spits out a lousy 3 million, making you pay 5 minutes of your life each time for doing the same thing over and over. It's not very interactive and once you reach the end, there's basically no variety either. The main money-making minigame (that you will have to play because there's no other way to make some real money), is a glorified spreadsheet business-management simulator. I particularly like the one in the movie theatres, which comes with its own little subplots and dialogue. ![]() +There's generally a decent number of new mini-games to play, some of which are very creative and enjoyable. This is something the previous fighting-game style combat did better. Games like War of Beach: Deponia: The Complete Journey,Animal Crossing: New Leaf,MapleStory 2,deep space waifu: FLAT JUSTICE,Plants vs. It's mostly a pattern of debuffing the boss, buffing your characters and then spamming every character's hardest-hitting moves. Similarly, the boss fights are not really that challenging (barring 1-2 very good exceptions) or interesting. Due to limitations of the system you will only ever fight a maximum of 10 enemies and there is very little usage of furniture or other environments to really turn it into a fun chaotic brawl. While I find that this new combat works really well for the random encounters on the street, it stagnates a bit during the "storm the castle" yakuza office gauntlets where you fight your way up to some boss. There is a great diversity of abilities and enemies, introducing new ones right up until the end of the game. Be careful though, some people might not like your success. As the ruler of your island, you are to plan your economy and optimize the layout of your island. Anyways, here's my assessment after finishing it: ++The new turn-based combat engine allows playing as multiple characters and manages to keep a decent pace with action prompts as characters use abilities (basically heat actions). GAME : War of Beach War of Beach is a free-to-play strategy game in which you are to rule your own Island-State. I'm glad the developers had the courage to go off the beaten path and try something a bit different. Yakuza 7 is in many ways, a new chapter in the series, using a new combat system and character cast to breathe some life into a franchise that Yakuza 7 is in many ways, a new chapter in the series, using a new combat system and character cast to breathe some life into a franchise that had become rather formulaic. So if you’re a true fan and have already tried your hand at these. I have veeery minor nitpicks about the story but nothing big enough for me to consider this as anything other than my 2020 Game of the Year, no contest. Some of these include Armageddon, 3D, World Party, Battle Islands, Ultimate Mayhem, Open Warfare, A Space Oddity and Revolution. The story is an incredibly gripping crime drama, it still has that same zany sense of humor, the side stories always get you invested, and there's hours upon hours of mini games to get yourself lost in. Everything to love about Yakuza is still here. The ways they portray real-world fights as fantastical RPG battles is constantly inventive and it's a blast to see new moves from both your party and the fighters you come across throughout the city. Personally I'm a huge fan of the switch to turn-based combat. ![]() There wasn't a moment that I'd thought I would rather be playing in Japanese. Ichiban's party give both the combat and the story a lot of depth, and as someone who has spent years with the Japanese actors, the English dub absolutely knocks it out of the park. Whether you're a newcomer to the series (This is probably the second best jumping on point aside from 0) or a veteran, this game has a lot to Whether you're a newcomer to the series (This is probably the second best jumping on point aside from 0) or a veteran, this game has a lot to love. ![]()
