The Yakuza rpg we deserve!

This game is excellent. It adressed many of the issues from the first game offering a much more complete rpg experience. On top of that the narrative and characters are top shelf. The story does expect you to know the characters from the 7th game, but even if you dont it provides enough context and oppurtunity to get caught up.

Also the animal crossing mini game is actually a blast, I probly played it for 10 hours alone. It also has a pokemon minigame where you catch perverts around Hawaii.
