Reviews

Yakuza 5 is considered a high-water mark for the series, and it’s easy to see why. I’ve rarely seen a game that packs in so much content, even compared to the other installments of the series which are bursting with side quests and mini-games. Though the story loses some of its focus in the final chapter (a recurring issue with most Yakuza games), it still keeps you engaged from beginning to end.

Ultimately, these changes, as well as the visual and mechanical upgrades, make Yakuza 5 Remastered a better game than the original release. If you’re a newcomer to the series and have never experienced the beautiful story of this title, then this is a must-play.
