Game is pretty unique, there isn't much else like it, particularly in terms of the way it plays and the heavy focus on the story. I can see why it has a pretty rabid fanbase. Its similar to Persona in a lot of ways imo.

The story itself starts to get incoherent about 3/4's in, and has a lot of supposedly 'smart' characters doing a lot of both stupid or straight nonsensical things.

Instead where the game stands out is in the characters. It has a lot more memorable characters than you would expect in a video game (although it has a couple of garbage ass characters as well). Besides the two leads, I liked Sagawa and Nishytani a lot.

I liked Kiryu of course but this idea of a good guy gangster is stupid as fukk. How is he supposed to make money while staying on the straight path? Majima is a better gangster character in that respect.

It’s a action comedy game.

It’s serious but it doesn’t take itself serious half the time.

Can’t really think of another game I’ve played like it
