A spectacular game that pushes the series in the right direction in so many ways. Basically since getting into the yakuza series I have been chasing the high 0 left me on and honestly like a dragon was the closest the series got for me, but this game is the first to actually reach that. The story is fantastic and has a majima that actually feels like a final mix of the one we had in 0 and the mad dog we've known...
