The first seven Yakuza games are on sale at GOG for the Winter
If you’ve never played the Yakuza games, you’ll be hard-pressed to find something you don’t like in them. Impressive storytelling from start to finish, with melodramatics leading the way. This is punctuated by street fights, mini-games, and in a few, management sims.
Yakuza ranges from self-serious dramatics to weird tales. In Yakuza 0, you can hire a chicken to help manage your business. Don’t ask, it makes sense in context. While 0, Kiwami, 3, 4, and 5 all use similar styles, it’s 6, and Kiwami 2 utilize the updated engine with new combat experiences. If you’re playing them all in order, it’s like a small taste of what’s to come.
SEGA’s Yakuza games have seen a massive and fresh appreciation in the West. The original two games were strange oddities at the time. Combining flashy, but old-school beat-em-up action with hard-boiled stories, they sort of fell by the wayside. Its follow-ups on PS3 were thought to be trapped in Japan, after poor sales of 3 and 4, plus the ill-advised Dead Souls scared SEGA off.
However, fervor among the cult following eventually convinced the team to release 5, followed by the first PS4 entry, a prequel Yakuza 0. Its success spurred on the releases of remasters of the first two games, along with launching 6 – and supposedly main character Kiryu’s last adventure.
