Yakuza 7 Gaiden’s story is, absolutely banging, as Yakuza stories are—the emotional hits in this one though are strong as Kiryu (Joryu) is in this game. The story is a retelling (kinda) of the Yakuza 7 story, from the perspective of Joryu, AKA Kiryu. It really is great to see the story from this perspective, and it adds a lot that otherwise we just didn’t get to see in Ichiban’s side of the story. The game also does away with the turn based combat of Yakuza 7 and goes back to the action beat-em-up style that we’ve come to love from the Yakuza games, and with a new brand fighting style as well. The agent style allows Joryu to use a bunch of different gadgets that, once upgraded become super overpowered. This game makes you so overpowered that, the secret boss you unlock after completing the coliseum and 4 kings storyline&hellip; is kind of a pushover if you know what you’re doing. I killed him only using like 4 heat actions which is just absolutely insane.</p>
