I never knew I needed a game like that.
You can slightly compare it as a mix of Rocket League and Fifa.

Almost all of my playtime was with randos and I'd say 90% of my playtime was with decent enough teammates and I had a lot of fun!
This game is perfect to just play for a few rounds.

One of the best things here is the music though. The music is tied to the match length, where the ball is and how far the ball is to your or the other goal.
The music is so dynamic. It really adds up to the intensity!

Of course there are flaws here and there but nothing that ruins the experience

This is it.. the peak of the franchise!

If you are just getting into it.. you have to play Yakuza Like a Dragon first to understand the story.
Better yet.. just play the whole franchise. You usually get at least 40h from every game.

It's a shame what they did with the selling part and all the dlc's. I don't know if it's the publisher or the developer but nonetheless... this game is worth it! Well.. without any dlc's and such it's still a masterpiece.

I'm talking about the game itself. You get a serious and complex story and anything else is just fckd up and funny. The character are so likeable and they made a good job caring for them.
With all the different minigames, crafting and just exploring the open world in different ways.. I'd say you won't regret it!

The combat isn't for anyone. Like Yakuza Like a dragon it's turn based. I prefer the dynamic combat but it's a nice change of pace and it just fits with our hero
