    Ultimately, these changes, as well as the visual and mechanical upgrades, make Yakuza 5 Remastered a better game than the original release. If you’re a newcomer to the series and have never experienced the beautiful story of this title, then this is a must-play. The changes made here, especially when considering the other remastered titles, make it clear the Yakuza Remastered Collection is a great choice for any fan of the Kazuma Kiryu saga, or someone looking to continue their journey after Yakuza Kiwami 2.

    Yakuza 5 was considered a high-water mark for the series, and it's easy to see why. I've rarely seen a game that packs in so much content, even compared to the other installments of the series which are bursting with side quests and mini games. Though the story loses some of its focus in the final part (a recurring issue with most Yakuza games), it still keeps you engaged from beginning to end. There are laughs, tears, broken faces, and a hell of a lot of dancing. In other words, it's a quintessential Yakuza game that makes for a super-satisfying conclusion to the Yakuza Remastered Collection!

    The final chapter on the Yakuza Remastered Collection is a quality one, and definitely one that should not be missed by Yakuza fans. The bigger, bolder and weirder Yakuza game yet.

    The most ambitious Yakuza gets the HD treatment. Story-wise is a little bit weaker, but it’s a great entry to break up with the continuity of the series.

    The Yakuza franchise has never managed to attract mass mainstream appeal, and that’s fine; it’s not for everyone. However, for those already enthralled by the journey of Kiryu and friends, Yakuza 5 Remastered is another great upgrade on an already beloved game.

    Yakuza 5 has just about everything that you could ever dream of -- from karaoke and darts to fishing and, er, snowball combat -- but it's the immensely in-depth character-specific activities that steal the show. Whether it's Kiryu's horribly addictive taxi driving quests or Saejima's reflective survival-based hunting expeditions, you can lose hour after hour after hour to Yakuza 5, but it always feels like there's a new obsession just around the corner.

    Through the prevalance of foreground obstructions, YAKUZA 5 REMASTERED contains and then breaches socioeconomic ambivalence in Japanese society.

    An enjoyable entry in the Yakuza series. I'd say it ranks right in the middle of it's predecessors. Not as good as 2 or 4, but better than 1An enjoyable entry in the Yakuza series. I'd say it ranks right in the middle of it's predecessors. Not as good as 2 or 4, but better than 1 and 3. The side stories were a nice addition. However, the plot got really messy, especially towards the end. By the time I had gotten to the final fight, I had pretty much forgotten what the actual conflict was. I also did not like Shinada at all. Really annoying character that was barely relevant to the actual story.… Expand
