This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I'd try to get it going here if people are interested.

Finished Yakuza: Like a Dragon a few weeks ago, really liked the vibe. The whole Yakuza collection came up for sale on GOG right after I finished, so I’m going through the whole series now. Almost done with Yakuza 0, and it hasn’t disappointed. The graphics and UI are dated, but it’s easy to get past that. The storytelling is what’s so great about these games. They’re long, complex, and surprisingly thoughtful. Sure there’s a good amount of trite cringeworthy tropes, but that’s part of the fun. Oh and the minigames! Business management is almost as fun as the main game…and I love that you can play classic sega arcade games in-game!

You have a long and wonderful journey ahead of you!

In my opinion Y0 looks better than LAD, at least on PS5

Yeah, I can totally see what you mean. I was definitely underwhelmed by Like a Dragon’s graphics. Lately I’ve been a lot more forgiving of old/crappy graphics though, especially with how gripping these stories are.
