Games just really fun, don't go into it thinking it's gonna be a really serious yakuza game cus it's not, it's very goofy which i'm glad after Infinite Wealth but there are some opposite moments aswell.
For things that i liked:
+The new mad dog & the new style + Jumping and doing combos mid-air like DMC
+Simple story & fun characters
+Long battles & Treasure hunting
+Low substory count, most were decent
+Musical intro
+A "cat"
+Great new Karaoke songs
+ Character customisation & Finding chests around the map for accessories
+Rings was a cool take on gears
+It's a Pirate game idfk loool
SPOILER WARNING FOR THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
SPOILER WARNING FOR THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
SPOILER WARNING FOR THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE
things i didn't like :
-Ship battles & travelling via the ship, ship battles i'm mixed on really, it's fun and i like how it's different but god do these drag on sometimes (the final queen fight for example) i get what they were doing and it was executed fine, but i just didn't like it, travelling via ship is super boring aswell and how it's just so slow even when you're spamming the boost, it didn't help when you could just get spotted by a ship 100 miles away.
-One heat action and not a whole lot of heat actions, why?? i get that they're (I'M GUESSING) are trying to have every game play differently but one heat action is absurd. There being little to no heat actions also is just meh, like i wanted a saejima co-op heat action dammit.
-The way they handled the lighting, on some areas and cutscenes they looked GREAT, but once you get into gameplay it's like wtf? why is it so white and bright first then next it's dark and contrasty as hell? also theres very noticable filter changes, the strong yellow/orange in a cutscene to a normal looking area in gameplay is visually awful.
-Filler, it's just as it says, lot's of filler in chapter 2 & 3, oh and i guess alot of backtracking which was annoying.
With all that stuff i didn't like, i still really, and i mean really enjoyed this game. It's gotta be the #1 yakuza game to just turn your brain off and just have some good fun.
ALSO THAT ENDING LEGIT BLUEBALLED ME LIKE CMON BRO I NEED TO SEE IF THEY'RE GOOD OR NOT.
