Usually the story is what keeps me going in Yakuza, but in this entry it feels a bit long winded and all the same tropes appear from the other entries. He is still likeable but I feel like Kiyrus story came to its natural climax at the end of Yakuza 3.Īll four protagonists don’t really cross paths until late in the game which is fine, but events that happen in the first chapter of the game don’t get revisited until a lot later on and by that time its hard to remember them, so the plot can feel a bit hard to follow at points.

Then we get to Tanimura who is a disgruntled police officer and a bit of an arsehole, he has his moments but he doesn’t really have a personality to speak of and his story focuses on a case involving his murdered father which we have seen many times in different media.įinally the series main protagonist Kiryu, it feels like Kiryu was added in last minute because he doesn’t really do much until the end and his plot line could have been taken up by Majima or any new character. The plot of Yakuza 4 revolves around four main characters this time, Akiyama a money lender with a heart of gold and probably my personal favourite in this game, Saejima an ex-yakuza hit man who has been in prison for 25 years who’s also appealing thanks to his reaction to how the world has changed in the 25 years hes been away and a genuinely interesting back story. Yakuza 3 was a big let down for me ( please read my review of Yakuza 3), but Yakuza 4 started off really impressing me, after a strong start though the game falls into the same problems the series has had for ages.
