The Yakuza Remastered Collection is a single player open world hack and slash game. It was developed by Ryu ga Gotoku Studios and was released on January 28, 2021. It received positive reviews from both critics and players.
The Day One Edition contains Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, & Yakuza 5 on two disks in a striking red collectable case, emblazoned with Kiryu’s trademark dragon tattoo.
- The remastered collection offers a significant amount of content, with over 30 hours of main missions across three games, providing great value for the price.
- Yakuza 5 stands out as the best entry in the collection, featuring improved gameplay mechanics, graphics, and a more engaging story compared to its predecessors.
- The Japanese voice acting and soundtrack are excellent, enhancing the overall experience and immersion in the game's world.
- Yakuza 3 and 4 feel outdated, with slow mechanics and a lack of engaging content, making them less enjoyable compared to Yakuza 5.
- Despite being remastered, Yakuza 3 shows significant signs of aging, with graphics and animations that still resemble those of the PS2 era.
- Some players reported receiving opened copies of the game, which detracted from their purchasing experience.
