Yakuza Kiwami 3 is the first Yakuza game I’ve played since getting into the series that I didn’t beat in the first week. Not all of that is the game’s fault, after all it’s hard to be enthused about completing a game where I already know the ending and all of the major story beats. Still, there’s something… missing, I think. Maybe it’s that this game feels more like a Gaiden than an actual mainline entry. Maybe it’s the horribly paced opening. Maybe after playing like fifteen of these in just three years I’m totally burnt out. But this is the first one that I just don’t feel compelled to play. I’ll pick it up every few days, play for a couple of hours, have my fun, then put it back down.
