    I have played 6 yakuza games and this one is my least favorite for sure. The map and interface sucks BUT the character's are amazing! And the very end where you play as kiryu is epic! the end story is greatness

    It's a nice change of pace to have new protagonists to play with and get to know, but I do not really like Tanimura. With the addition of the underground map and the rooftops this is perhaps the best version of Kamurocho to explore. The music is great. The story is mostly fine, until the last quarter of the game when RGG decides to write the worst stuff they've ever written.

It's so bad that it tanked the game's story for me and ruined one of the core elements of one of the main characters. Decent side content as always for this series, but not as strong as most of the other entries.… Expand

    Сюжет задорно начинается, но заканчивается абсурдно и повторяет сюжетные повороты других частей, от чего легко угадывается и вызывает уныние. Отмечу присутствие интересных персонажей. Боёвка имеет пару интересных моментов, но в сравнении с новыми частями крайне посредственна.Сюжет задорно начинается, но заканчивается абсурдно и повторяет сюжетные повороты других частей, от чего легко угадывается и вызывает уныние.

    Yakuza 4 remastered is a good game and is worth a playthrough, especially for the yakuza fans. I played for the main story and skipped most of the side content. I liked the 4 characters, the story pacing and like other yakuza games, there was a rich emotional content. However, Yakuza 4 feels old sometimes (not as much as yakuza 3 though...).

The story was way better than the average video games but not as amazing as the other yakuza (I don't want to spoil anything but I found that some plot twists barely made sense). I still recommend this game to prepare for Yakuza 5 which is strong according to reviews.… Expand

    While juggling 4 characters was an interesting experiment for the series, I think it detracted from the overall experience. Still a solid entry in the Yakuza series.

    3보다는 여러모로 양호하고 추천하기 좋은 작품. 4인의 주인공을 돌려가며 노는 건 꽤 즐겁다. 캐릭터 밸런스도 나쁘지 않은 편. 타니무라의 얼굴이 리마에서 못생겨진게 유일한 흠.

    Last one I played. Ngl didn't care for playing as other characters outside of Akiyama. The big prison dude was so damn slow he was the worst to play as. Akiyama was probably the best with everything overall. It's odd, I don't remember much of Kiryu in this game. Not a bad game though.

    While Yakuza 4 Remastered doesn’t offer much in the way of quality of life updates or any substantial presentation improvements, the entire package is still solid. It knows what it is and what it wants to do, and is ultimately an improvement over its direct predecessor in a number of ways. It may be different from other titles that succeed it, but I feel like this is one of the better games in the Remastered package and worth picking up.

    I walked away from Yakuza 4 having had a much more fulfilling experience than I did with its immediate predecessor. The new characters revitalized the old "Tojo clan is in trouble" plot, and the different combat styles brought new life to the never-ending street brawls. I do wish that the developers left Kiryu out, as his addition feels unnecessary. Yakuza 4 brings the series ever closer to its modern-day iterations, with enough polish to be playable for newer fans of the series. I look forward to seeing what the last part of the Yakuza Remastered Collection brings us!

    Continuing down the path carved by Yakuza 3 Remastered, this fourth installment in the Yakuza franchise doesn't reinvent the wheel, but offers 25 plus hours of fun for all the fans of the series, even if with a barebone remaster.
