Jan.5 This game does some incredible things I haven't seen ever before. Everything works perfectly in sync and the story evolves by how you play truly great.
Jan.9 Super interesting game with tons of branching paths for dialogue the main murder mystery isn't as strong as the connecting all the side characters and doing side missions.
Feb.13 Replay with item/enemy randomizer super interesting went to a lot of side paths and found items and weapons I normally would run past
Feb.20 Small JPN PS1 inspired horror game neat
Feb.29 Shows off how strong the psvr can be with first party production
March.2 Game too long man
April.7 Excellent excellent excellent mystery novel be ready for it to constantly betray expectations and lie to the reader
April.10 A good spin-off of the yakuza series that unfortunately falters on most of the new things that were implemented. Combat is a huge step down from the previous games with less styles overall and only 1 feeling truly fleshed out. Story is decent with some good new characters showing up but none really hold a candle to any of the previous games Kiryu/Majima equivalents. Exception to this is Kuroiwa the main villain who has probably the most violent scenes in any of the yakuza like games and is just straight cappin. Detective side quests were interesting enough but too many were similar and tailing/chasing people sucked hard.
April.20 Exactly how I remember it
May.9 One of the best mysteries I've ever read, I love so many of the characters across all these arcs. Ending was incredibly satisfying and made me cry.
