❤ Protagonist Variety Enhances Combat Depth

The game introduces four playable protagonists, each with their own distinct fighting styles. Players can switch between Kazuma Kiryu's well-rounded Dragon of Dojima style, Shun Akiyama's agile kick-focused moveset, Taiga Saejima's powerful but slow brawler approach, and Masayoshi Tanimura's parry-heavy technical abilities. This variety allows players to adapt their tactics to different enemy types and scenarios, adding depth and replayability to the combat system.

❤ Responsive and Fluid Combat Overhaul

Compared to the previous entry, the combat in Yakuza 4 Remastered feels significantly more responsive and satisfying. Enemies no longer block constantly, enabling more dynamic and engaging encounters. Players praise the improved overall feedback and responsiveness of the combat, which addresses the clunky issues present in the earlier game.

❤ Expanded Verticality and Exploration in Kamurocho

The developers have expanded the level design of the iconic Kamurocho district, allowing players to access rooftops, underground areas, and other previously inaccessible locations. This added verticality and exploration depth enhances the sense of immersion, as players can navigate the various layers of the city, from bustling streets to abandoned malls.

❤ Engaging and Diverse Minigame Offerings

Yakuza 4 Remastered retains the series' well-established lineup of side activities and minigames, which players generally find to be enjoyable and satisfying. The game includes classics like karaoke, batting cages, and pool, as well as new additions such as table tennis and an expanded aromatherapy massage system. While some minigames, like darts and fishing, may prove overly challenging, the overall variety provides welcomed breaks from the main story and further investment in the vibrant world.
