The gameplay is described as a mix of nostalgia and innovation, with some users praising its immersive and inventive mechanics, while others find it mediocre, particularly in comparison to other titles. Notably, the game offers a unique vehicle mechanic involving a helicopter, but some aspects may feel unintentional or clunky. Overall, it is celebrated for its depth, freedom, and attention to detail, making it stand out in the open-world genre.
- “Totally immersive, incredibly inventive gameplay.”
- “To whoever loves games with an in-depth story, awesome characters, total and utter freedom, non-repetitive gameplay, awesome crafting system, freedom in dialogue, a game that wants you to do whatever you want, a game that requires logic to beat, a game that barely has any bugs and glitches, a game that was extremely looked after during creation, a game that has true open world.”
- “You can steal a helicopter, which is probably the only working vehicle, but there's a catch: the helicopter is on the roof of the police station, and the only way to get there is to find a car and then use the 'car jump' mechanic to get onto the roof. Of course, I am sure that the car multi-jump wasn't the developers' intention.”
- “That being the biggest issue, since the game is all about the girls to begin with, the gameplay itself is mediocre.”
- “You also can steal a helicopter which is probably the only working vehicle, but there's a catch: the helicopter is on the roof of the police station and the only way to get there is to find a car and then use the 'car jump' mechanic to get onto the roof. Of course, I am sure that car multi-jump wasn't the devs' intention.”
- “Gameplay is unmatchable, makes the Yakuza series look like a joke.”
