Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
In Yakuza 6, Kazuma Kiryu will find out exactly how much people are willing to sacrifice for family - be those ties through blood or bond - when he investigates a series of shadowy events that involve the ones he holds closest to his heart. Fresh out of a three-year prison sentence, an older and weathered Kiryu comes to find out that his surrogate daughter, Haruka, has gone missing from the orphanage he looks after. The trail leads him to his old stomping grounds in Kamurocho, where he discovers that she has been struck by a car and now lies in a coma. To make matters worse, Kiryu learns that Haruka now has a son that he must look after. With baby in hand, Kiryu journeys to the seaside town of Onomichi, Hiroshima to unravel the truth about Haruka, her son, and a sinister secret that the Hiroshima yakuza are harboring.
From the unparalleled realism of the new setting of Onomichi, a beautiful, sleepy port town in Hiroshima Prefecture, to the latest evolution of Kamurocho, the biggest red-light district in Tokyo, Yakuza 6 is the ultimate iteration the game's blend of gritty crime story, hyper-explosive combat, and all the vices and distractions those locales have to offer.

Let the Bodies Hit the FloorYakuza 6 Kiryu is a 100% certified thugfed OG, so that means he’s a battle-hardened veteran when it comes to the art of street fighting.

I should point out that this is my first Yakuza game, though I've seen my brother play Yakuza-0. Didn't need any prior knowledge of the series to enjoy this to the max.
As expected, Yakuza does not stray from giving fans what they’d expect and more in several aspects that the developers wanted to refine. In the case of the sixth, they seemed to have focused on stunning graphics, a physics system, strong writing on a philosophical level, and a few other things. The story is captivating, the substories are fun and the immersion of living the life of the Dragon ingulfed in the affairs of the Yakuza underworld are filled with twists and turns.
As grand and brilliant as this installment felt, it also felt neglected in some aspects. The fighting mechanics were quite disappointing, especially coming from Yakuza 0. Kazuma only has one fighting style and the satisfaction of his dragon rage meter is lessened by the enemies being able to easily surpass it. The mini games were new and refreshing, but left me wanting more as they ended too quickly - namely the spear fishing. Though three mini games should suffice for the average fan.
Aside from this few gripes, this game still shines for the series. I cannot wait for what’s yet to come from the new protagonist and successor to Kazuma.
Yup, story of the rest of the game.
This was my first foray into the Yakuza series and the starting 60 minute cutscene nearly lost me. If anyone else intends to play this series, it looks like long cutscenes where mutually frowny and scowly dudes stare at eachother and speak slowly in menacing ways is par for course.
The game good, but not great. some parts were very grindy, literally composed of "Go to your apartment, sleep, go to the bar, cutscene, go back to your apartment, cutscene, go back to bar, cutscene." Normally it's not super obvious (most games are composed of heading to some location for the next story), but there was one segment where this back and forth happened several times in a row in short sequence, so it really jumped out at how ridiculous it got. Other parts are hilarious and incredibly fun to watch, if only to have this super seriously, Dragon of Dojima ultra cool badass character dress up in ridiculous mascot outfit and saying hilariously out of character dialog.
the story is...interesting - i find it to be overly dramatic, and made me feel like the game was trying way too hard. THAT SAID, sounds like this is another par-for-the-course for this series (I'm playing Yakuza 0 right now, and it's also like this). Maybe it's because this is the world of Yakuza, obviously something i'm never going to "relate to", but it's really hard to take any of the drama seriously. Spent a lot of time facepalming (but in a fond way?). The characters aren't bad either, but again I can't really relate to any of them (I find the female characters utterly illogical, and the male characters, due to perhaps being yakuza, also illogically angry lol), so when good or bad things happen to the characters, I had a hard time really caring that much.
Where the game really shines are the "sidequests" and the minigames. Not all of the sidequests are that great, and most of them composed of talking to an npc, hear their woes or whatever, do something for them, watch another cutscene. It's actually pretty standard/dry/boring if not for the fact that many of the sidequests are just utterly hilarious. As said before, there was one sidequest where your ultra serious, hardcore main character had to wear a ridiculous mascot outfit to entertain children. there's another where Kiryuu, ultra manly protagonist, gets the kabedon treatment from a drag queen. There were some absolutely hilarious minigames as well, like the chatroom where Kiryu types with his index fingers trying to have a sexy livechat with girls. Altogether, utterly ridiculous, but also utterly charming.
Unfortunately not all of the minigames are that interesting - the street gang thing was rather boring for me, but i think it's meant to take a huge chunk of the player's time (Y6 is relatively short, but from the list of trophies just for this minigame, i can tell the developers hoped that i would sink hours into it). The baseball stuff was the same. The cabaret/hostess club side stuff were also only soso. I'm not very fond of games using these kinds of tactics to pad play them, but at 27hrs or so just doing the main story and some random extras, it's not too bad.
combat system is okay - i don't love it, but also don't hate it. some parts are fun, like picking up stuff and bashing people's heads in, but it gets rather repetitive. i think it may also be that i just wasn't trying too hard to learn all the tricks, but I don't find the combat system very reactive, so i tend to just stick with tried and true methods just to get the fights over quickly. when all you have to do is pick up a bench and swing it around...
I liked the game overall, enough to make me buy Y0, but I think I'm gonna stop at Y0. So far, these games are incredibly similar, to the point where having played one, i feel like i've already played them all. Good games, incredibly quirky, worth trying one or two of them, but not a series that i'm going to really invest in, i think (unless my friend talks me into them anyway).
As a Yakuza game, I hate it so much. My main complaints include: no weapons inventory, weapons you get in fights only have like 2-3 durability/ammo, combat is just button mashing with ragdoll physics, a huge chunk of Kamurocho is inaccessible, some of the minigames (like bar chats) are tedious and just pad the game for time, and almost all of the recurring characters aren't in it. This is a budget title, at best. The artbook is just the disc case with 16 pages attached. I got over 70 hours out of each of the prior games. I finished this in under 30 hours with maxed stats and like 70-80% completion and have no desire to go back to it. If you played the other Yakuza games, you're going to buy this regardless of anything I say. Just don't get your hopes up.

La historia se desenvuelve bien, si son fanáticos de las historias de criminales, novelas policiacas y esas cosas encontrarán la historia bastante entretenida.
Sobre la edición no hay mucho que decir, el librito de arte esta bien, pero no es nada del otro mundo.
Too bad it doesn't include the standard PS4 case. I don't like the type of the included case at all. The art book is also a part of the case. I would've preferred if they were separate. I can live with it, though. I'm just saying it's not a great case. Those giving 1 or 2 stars most likely bought it for more than the standard edition. If you bought it when it was 70-80 bucks, RIP wallet.
