Yakuza 6 The Song of Life-CPY

Yakuza 6 is an action-adventure game set in an open world environment and played from a third-person perspective. It is similar to that of other Yakuza titles with exploration mixed with arcade style over the top combat with ragdoll physics. A more advanced variant of Yakuza 5’s Dragon Spirit Mode, called Extreme Heat Mode, is introduced, where Kiryu becomes temporarily invulnerable as long as his Heat remains, and his combo finishers can turn into Heat actions that take out immense amounts of health. Kazuma Kiryu returns as the main and only playable character and the game features locations of Kamurocho, Tokyo and Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, with just one fighting style returning this time like all titles before Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami.

Yakuza’s never looked so good, but then the series has been stuck with passable PlayStation 3 era visuals for the last decade. It’s not just the environments that are a real step up, though. The character models look great too, particularly during cutscenes – and Yakuza 6 has a lot of cutscenes. As we’ve come to expect of the property, this is an intensely story-driven experience – the game’s never frightened of dropping huge amounts of dialogue when it’s trying to get a point across.
