Much better combat than Yakuza 0 (in some ways it's maybe too balanced), was my first Yakuza I played, enjoyed and would play again. Does reference a bit of stuff from Yakuza 0, so it'd be better to play that first beforehand for a better experience. Though, there's nothing wrong with starting anywhere in the series (please do start with 0 though)
