The value story

March 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $5.99. It has been discounted 36 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales.

Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name ($49.99, scores 60) and Like a Dragon: Ishin! ($39.99, scores 48).

Of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, none come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2021 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 108 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 20.6 hours; clearing it takes 92, which is 4.5 times the campaign.

Deck Verified, so no launch options and no controller remapping before it runs.

What players say

Pros: - the story goes full j-drama and is funny at times. they've dedicated a surprising amount of scenes to small things like revalations or just to introduce characters properly. - navigation between each character's substories is nice throughout most of the chapters with a good amount of overlap to find another substory step while pursuing one. Cons: - i have a bone to pick with whoever designed saejima's...

This is the absolute worst game I have touched in the entirety of my existence and for the foreseeable future. This game has the worst gameplay, story, and overall design I have ever seen. This game makes me want to rip my eyes out of my eye sockets and put them in acid. I would rather climb Mount Everest than touch this game again. This game makes me question how RGG got to a Yakuza 5 after this. And even that one...
RalseiNot recommendedafter 20h1 found this helpfulRead on Steam
THE best Yakuza game! The multiple characters keep things fresh, the combat is much better than 3, the story is great and things are just a big upgrade from the previous game.
