From Infinite Wealth to Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii, we explore RGG Studios’ iconic franchise. Here are the best Yakuza games, ranked.
Agree with #1 it's what brought me to the series. Gotta say i prefer the Japanese settings over Hawaii though
Oh i still enjoyed it. But it lost a little of the charm for me. It was arguably too big of an area
Yeah i think it was a little weird tbh that outside of the initial landing in Hawaii part and getting a cabbie there was zero language problems kasuga just understood everyone. And everything was very Japanese i expected more fish out of water elements
I think they should have used the adult learning centre school thing to give you English lessons to close that plothole
Maybe I'm overthinking it
It’s all a matter of preferences but I have to agree with you Judgement clears Yakuza ishin and man without a name smh so weird choices up there lol
Fantastic games but they are more spin off games imo and deserving of their own franchise
My favorite was 0 but Yakuza 5 had my two favorite locations Sapporo and Osaka.
Ill be honest i enjoyed infinite wealth but it absolutely does nkt deserve to be as high as it is on this list. Yes I liked the switch to Hawaii but the story was fairly weak until around three quarters in.
I don't want to spoil anything but the misdirection can be seen from space in this one.
