Once again I'm caught up on all the Yakuz......oh wait Judge Eyes came out GOD DAMN IT

Being a fan of both Yakuza and Fist of the North Star of course I would play it.

In the end though I'm conflicted on this game because gameplay-wise it's just as good as the other Yakuza games (in some ways better because of being able to time hits to hit pressure points for instakills and making everyone's heads explode everywhere), but the game being divorced from the Yakuza series characters and specifically Kamurocho as a setting made me realize how integral those are to the experience. Eden itself was pretty small and not all that interesting and the open world buggy traversal didn't have much going on for it either.

The actual story content is also pretty light and the majority of the 96 hours I spent playing this game was doing the side content and grinding out all the trophies. In fact despite being shorter overall to platinum than Yakuza 4 and 5 I would say this game had far more grinding to do everything than those games did. Luckily they don't require you to get 100% of the completion list although I still did all the critical ones. There were just a few leftover that you would have no reason to do like doing some random task x amount of times that had no bearing on anything.

Main points for the platinum were as follows:

- Complete the story (twice on Normal then on the unlocked Extra Hard mode)
- Complete 50% of the Completion List
- Raise Kenshiro to level 99 and learn all abilities
- Obtain 100K chips in the Casino
- Stare a Xsana for 3 minutes in first person (>_>)
- Don't attack Toki while he's having a coughing fit
- Obtain S Rank in Bartender Ken
- Drive buggy backwards for 10 km
- Make $100K in Merchant Ken
- Break the HIDEBU weapon 20 times
- Perform a perfect combo in Ken's Clinic for all songs
- Earn and spent $10,000,000 total (misleading because you're going to earn over 100 million over the course of the game)
- Complete all 40 Manager Ken missions
- Earned a wide variety of accessories and buggy parts
- Treated 30 injured citizens of Eden
- Used a flamethrower during the Thouzer boss fight
- Drive 500km in the buggy
- Retrieved 1000 items out in the wasteland
- Obtained an S Rank on all Death Batting difficulty
- Obtained all crane game prizes
- Played all the classic video games
- Ordered every menu item
- Completed all Bounty missions
- Defeated Toki at his strongest
- Completed the Deathcry Collection
- Found all 30 Hostesses for Manager Ken
- Won all 15 races
- Defeated Yakuza boss fights (Komaki and Amon)
- Obtained all Savior equipment
- Used all Hokuto Shinken techniques
- Completed 50 battles each in Eden and the Wasteland as well as 5 scripted encounters and 5-in store battles
- Defeated 500 enemies in Eden
- Completed all 80 substories
- Won all Colosseum fights and duels
- Obtained all Destiny Talismen and maxed them out to level 7

There were a few missable ones in there the main one being the Deathcry Collection. Had to be aware to not raise my attack power too high or I could potentially miss some of those as it requires you to kill enemies in various areas of the world map in specific ways. There were 50 in all I think.

The big time wasters though were earning $100 million to pay off a debt which basically has you playing the hostess game over and over again and then getting all 24 destiny talismen to level 7 as it required a ton of materials and money

Overall cool game but man I was not expecting how much of a grind it would be. Hoping Judge Eyes has more varied content to it.

You're not wrong!

Actually I would've been okay with playing it on PS4 since it's at least 60 fps, but it kind of came and went since I got swept up with other games and the Yakuza games were releasing so rapidly.
