Critic Reviews for Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life presents the most detailed virtual chunk of Japan the series has managed to date, and its story provides a satisfying end to the Kizama Kiryu saga. However, as far as gameplay goes, Yakuza 6 doesn't make enough of an effort to break new ground, making it weaker overall than last year's Yakuza Zero.
The setting of Onomichi proves that the long-running series still has some tricks, making Yakuza 6 a worthy finale for its main protagonist.
Perhaps not the greatest Yakuza game, but Kazuma Kiryu's farewell certainly makes for the most human.
A slightly underwhelming end to the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, but the changes in gameplay and graphics do hold a lot of promise for the future.
A touching finale for Kazuma Kiryu, Yakuza 6 manages to surprise and delight in equal measure.
Yakuza 6 delivers both quality and quantity, so saying goodbye to Kiryu doesn't feel rushed
Even with my criticisms of the admittedly optional and inconsequential aspects of the game, Yakuza 6 succeeds because its core story is so compelling.
