Outstanding finale to one of the greatest games series of all time

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2018

Style: Essence of Art EditionVerified Purchase

Yakuza 6 is the final game in the excellent series of Yakuza games, it follows Kazuma Kiryu as he tries to work out the truth of what happened to his adopted daughter ... as he finds that she was put in a coma after a hit and run and that she has had a baby, this story in classic Yakuza fashion results in Kazuma finding ties to Yakuza families and results in multiple rivalries and story twists and turns.
The gameplay is better than ever, with fighting being as over the top as before and plenty new ways to beat up baddies. There was a slight frustration with trying to do attacks while holding something that resulted in the same special move, but that was fine, it still helped me defeat them, just not how I intended.
There is plenty to do in the two gorgeous and realistic open world fake japanese cities you can explore, from Arcade games to Mahjong to Darts to Talking to strippers online and much more, my favourite is the Deep Sea Fishing mini game, which works as an on rails shooter, hitting all sorts of fish and predators with the harpoon.
The baseball game is abit underwhelming, its more of a baseball manager than a baseball playing game, but the home run challenge is a great baseball type mini game.
There are some classic Yakuza mini games that are not here (like the toy grabber), but this game definetly has more content than many of its predescessors, including the new huge side game, Clan Wars, where you have your own gang and you direct them how to fight and take down rival gangs.
A huge story mode, lots of side quests, lots of mini games and much more, this game has a huge amount of content. Its story is massively compelling from start to finish and has an ending that will shock and surprise, but it also ties the Yakuza story up fantastically.
Like the games before it, Yakuza 6 is another classic and is one of the all time best open world action games.

Amazing game with so many twists & great things to keep you occupied as in all Yakuza games graphics are improved too even though Yakuza games normally have great graphics,if you have not played a Yakuza game I recommend all of them as they are a totally awesome alternative to GTA or saints row series although it's maybe closer in comparison to some parts of sleeping dogs but Yakuza games stand alone as classics so in my opinion it's worth every penny & the art book included was also top quality so 5 stars from me!

Absolutely terrible. Tried to cancel this item was not allowed stated on the email I could refuse the delivery. It was posted through the letterbox no knock no nothing so could not refuse! Then I find out it was not the edition I had ordered, essence of art edition ordered, picked from a drop down box not just displayed on the picture. Item received was cheap PlayStation hits version. Now I am having to print a label and take it somewhere to return it no option to have it picked up. And having to wait days for a refund!!!

Good game, just falls short of a satisfying Yakuza experience.

Yakuza 6 is a great addition to the series, but falls slightly short of a powerful and cohesive story line. I really liked Yakuza Zero and Yakuza Kiwami, but there just felt like something was missing from the experience and the side quests where just a slight distraction from the main story and didn't leave you with any real satisfaction in completing them. I also felt the main story was a little too short, backstories on new characters were too brief and this left you feeling very disconnected with all the events during the game. It's a good game though, but probably needed a little more work with the story development.

First of, beware that the "standard" edition of the game comes in a poor cardboard cover. So if you don't wish that wait for a normal blu-ray box version to be released or buy it digitally.

This is the final chapter with Kazuma Kiryu. There is Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1 and 2 which also is worth playing if you wish to know more about Kazuma Kiryu story. Yakuza 3 and 4 are not needed to understand the plot of Yakuza 6. But I would HIGHLY recommend playing Yakuza 5 on PS3, watch the story on YouTube or wait for the remaster later in 2019 since 6 picks up right after 5.

This my thoughts and opinions on Yakuza 6 (first review)

This game is voice in Japanese but has English subtitles

The story and atmosphere for Yakuza 6 is probably the best in open world game I've played in years.
The city just feel so alive and so do the character's, everything here feels so right and nothing feels out of place or feels tack in to boost the hours of content

I would strongly recommend this to anyone that wants a game that offers a new experience

I've been a fan of the Yakuza games since they were on the playstation 2, and this game is amazing, it's a bit of a slow starter at first, but if you stick with it, the story will hook you in, such a brilliant game and I can't wait for the next installment.

Not one of the better Yakuza games

I'm a big Yakuza fan, but the constant screen tearing, shimmering effects and unstable framerate really spoilt it for me.

It's a shame because it's a great story, and you get lots of fun side missions and mini games, as is standard with Yakuza games.

Great conclusion to the yakuza franchise. Has less content than previous entries due to a new game engine being used but same great characters, great sidestories and lots of charm.
