Akiyama is a real goofball, I like this guy. Sleepy man.

Why is Akiyama

Guys. I get the hype for Akiyama. Also, his fighting style goes hard.

Playing this one right after Yakuza Kiwami kind of felt like a mistake. The entire game takes place in Kamurocho again and I already felt like I saw all that Kamurocho had to offer in the first game. The multiple perspectives and the reused story elements was a bit jarring. Still a good time though.

The second game to make it's way onto my "binned" shelf. At least I managed to play more than 15 minutes of this title! But finally after give or take 15 hours, I've come to realise this is too taxing for me to continue. As much as I might have been enjoying it.

Yeah, the brawling is repetitive after a while but what refreshes it is the combos you can buy. Every battle scene you come across allows you to go buck wild. Button mash all you want but sometimes it actually requires some skill, really near the end. I love how everyone's story connects and items aren't hard to come buy. There are a few things I would've done differently but it adds to the games value. I would say this is a must play.
