    Can't say I was a fan. Played and found it too easy and quite boring. I really don't see the fuss about these games.

    Since I've studied Japanese for many years, I know the importance of deferential language in social interactions in that country. Unfortunately, it makes no difference in this game because everyone wants to hurt you. Clearly, the game lacks for cultural understanding. Disappointing.

    I don't like this part. Maybe hate is more precisely. It is not about wasted money, I played all previous parts(except Yakuza Kenzan!) and consider my self as fan and after that game I will not buy next.
    It disappointing in terms of scale and more importantly story. It is to late to write a review at this time, but perhaps some one who like previous series will hear: if you enjoy yakuza    I don't like this part. Maybe hate is more precisely.

Even yakuza: dead souls have more enjoyable and brighter story then this( dead souls is about zombies, guess how "bright" it is).    … Expand

    The sixth Yakuza does not bring a huge open world. It brings a great hall full of amazing toys that you will not want to leave. [Issue#284]

    There are a lot of seemingly dissonant notes in The Song of Life, but from this chaos arises one of the best written open world games of this generation, a great technological foundation for upcoming Yakuzas and a beautiful farewell to Kazuma Kiryu. [05/2018, p.38]

    Yakuza 6's intimate story, combined with a cinematic presentation, pays tribute to Japanese gangster movies while the overhaul of the combat and RPG systems leads to the hero's organic development.
