Favorite series: Yakuza
Least favorite game: Lost Judgment
It’s still a great game with an incredible story, but it’s the uninspiring open world that really brings the experience down. Unlike the other games, you have to go out of your way to find side stories, they don’t just randomly occur to you. And most of those side stories are in one location at the corner of the map: the school. The world by itself doesn’t feel interactive or interesting. Also it doubles down on the worst parts of the first game with follow missions and stealth segments.
