I was a fan of Hokuto no Ken, but then I dropped it, just like my fondness for JoJo. Then again, I just dropped anime in general. It's not my cup of tea really. It probably will never be, but I thought it was. Secondly, I wanted to try a Yakuza game for a long time. Read it's basically a fanfic, and wanted to revitalize my love for Hokuto Shinken. "Why not?" I said.
Well, this definitedly not only buried my desires of revisiting Hokuto no Ken nor playing a Yakuza game for some time, but it also made me remember how disgustingly mediocre anime videogames are. Pandering, with the bare minimun of animation and taking the core elements from other franchises, applying them with not a single element of nuisance. How in the fuck a Hokuto no Ken game can be boring and lacking good beat-em-up mechanics?

Hoping the Yakuza team releases more games like this with other franchises so we can have a big "ga Gotoku" franchise like we have the Warriors[無双] franchise.
Based on this game, I'd prefer if they stuck to more realistic settings, and just expanded on Yakuza some more. This is by far their worst game I've ever played, in basically every way imaginable. It's such an insane step down from the Yakuza games, it's really hard to believe it's the same developer. Yakuza is one of my favorite franchises currently, and this game is pure trash, imo.

A lesser Yakuza for sure but still fun for the most part. Shame about the mindless grind tho.
