that's probably the lowest score that I've seen for it.

personally, I'd give it a 6.5-7/10.

I think that it's a decent to good game, with a lot to offer, but I also have some issues with it.

I didn't like the ending but definitely wouldn't be salty enough to say 2/5

it's quite tedious tbh, especially the overly long cutscenes full of melodrama.

"but that's just how yakuza's story is!" isn't a good excuse either.

I really wish the Yakuza games were happier though. I understand there needs to be tension but its just tragedy after tragedy. I've played them all and I always just feel like crap after.

The sidequests is where all the wacky stuff happens, I feel like making the main plot wacky too would undermine one of the main themes that being yakuza isn't all that great and that some of the protagonists are trying their best to leave that life behind, or otherwise just feel trapped in it.

Yeah I stopped half way and want to go back but thinking of the drawn out dialogue and Cutscenes is a great deterrent

Ive been trying out yakuza 0 and I cant get into it. Combat is not fun so far and the cutscenes are way too long. I do like the characters though
