For while these are action titles that revolve around the power struggles of the Japanese criminal underworld, there are also moments to remember that revolve around friendship, family, honour and love. The Yakuza series, as we know it in the West, has always been characterised by its enormous attention to detail, the number of activities you can do and the complexity of its stories.
It would be difficult to mention a video game series that has shown the culture, values and idiosyncrasies of Japan with such precision and care as the work of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.
