What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $5.99, set in March 2024. It has been discounted 37 times in the 6 years tracked here, typically at 50 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
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 94 percent. The nearest things to it, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name ($49.99, scores 60) and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth ($69.99, scores 67), are both worse buys on this math.
Players rate it 89 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 75 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 1 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here comes from a buyer who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written August 2022 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 145 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 2 percent of everything written about it.
Finishing takes 35.9 hours; clearing it takes 152, which is 4.2 times the campaign.
It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating, which is the one that means it just works.

I hate this game, it is so damn slow and tries to do to many things at once. I will complete the game regardless as i plan to play the rest of the yakuza games. But this is one of the worst games I have ever played with yakuza 4 being the worst. Not sure how yakuza 4 and 5 were this bad compared to 3. 4 and 5 make that game look like a masterpiece.
Yakuza 5 is a game I dreaded to play for like 4 years now, because this is the biggest beat em up Yakuza game, and I really wasn't in the mood for quantity over quality, especially when most of the PS3 era games weren't that great, but as it turns out, this is surprisingly good. Due to Yakuza 5's structure of having each characters' story be one continuous part instead of splitting it up, with very different...

Yakuza 5 Remastered scores 78/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1105510/yakuza-5-remasteredThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 18, price as of Sep 24.
