Absolute cinema, Story was so good, words cannot describe it. Many people say it's too complicated because of 5 protagonists, but that's just a bunch of nonsense. If you use your brain you can understand the sotry well and if you do, you're in for a ride. Side content good as always, personal favourites are: Taxi and race missions and Haruka idol quests. Since the game is one of the newest of old gen, there is a lot of quality of life updates compared to both yakuza 3 and 4. The graphics are good and you can really immerse yourself into the world. Would recommend to anyone.

Five cities, five protagonists. A story of dreamers and those bound by reality, where ideals sometimes converge with reality and other times clash.

The good stuff on Yakuza 5: 1) Most playable characters in one game the series, which adds a lot fighting style diversity (and Haruka's DDR mini-game pseudo combat style). Also the most cities in a Yakuza game, which makes the scope feel appropriately grand and the virtual tourism element really adventurous. 2) Goes without saying, but it's a Yakuza game, so it's hilarious and exciting and wild and fun all at once. 3) Some of the best "medium sized" mini-games in the series in the Initial D style racing, the Taxi driving game, and the Cabela's Big Game Hunting game with most of the best smaller mini-games that show up regularly. 4) Shinada is the best "one and done" character in the whole series, making a strong impression here and then bouncing out of the series forever. Shine on you crazy Baseball Boy! 5) Obviously arguable, but I think this IS the best Yakuza soundtrack, which is a very high bar to clear. I love other individual songs from other games better, but in terms of totality I probably listen to the Y5 soundtrack the most overall. Some fire tracks here! The Bad: 1) The game's best chapters are the 1st and the 4th by FAR, which means the games middle drags a LOT and it kind of ends on a bit of a whimper. They frontload too much of the best stuff in this one and should've pace it out a bit more. 2) Saejima goes to prison only to break out AGAIN like in Y4 and it just . . . he still has half his chapter to go through so this whole sequence really feels like them trying to do the same sequence from Y4 again but better, which it is, but its a HUGE retread, and feels tacked on since his role in the plot is less critical. 3) Haruka's segment is VERY divisive. I think it's a great change of pace for the game, but a lot of people hate it, and frankly, yeah I can get it. Also even though you CAN fail her Idol gameshow contest, it doesn't matter due to the larger plot, so it's all a bit of fake tension really. They also aren't *really* delving too much into the idol lifestyle in as critical way as you might expect. Perfect Blue this ain't. 4) Akiyama is a great returning character from Y4 but his potential is wasted here. More so in Y6, but this starts the trend. 5) Man this ending. It's just . . . THE most convoluted nonsense. Even for a Yakuza game. But the real problem is the final boss . . . they go for a twist boss here and it just does not work well. There's way too much pathos and hype for the fight going into it considering who it ends up being, so even though it is a cool fight, it just seems very unjustified. All that said, again, this IS a Yakuza game. It's great overall. I wouldn't recommend anyone start with 5 at all, it's way too embedded in the series lore to really work as a 1st game in my opinion, but even with some of its worst bits it holds up as probably the 2nd or 3rd best in the main Kiryu series (after Zero and 6 IMO).
