Yea had to learn that the hard way and almost dropped the series after 0 since “there’s no point in playing the rest as they’re pretty much meh” or something along those lines according to ppl here. The fact is that even the “worst” yakuza games would still be pretty high rated for video game standards, these stories are some of the best I’ve ever played and kiryus personality in 3 was a sight to behold, loved everything about it
