Is it still worth playing?

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's 2018 action adventure, in which a former lawyer turned private detective investigates a case of corpses with their eyes removed in the fictional Tokyo district of Kamurocho. You play in third person, with two combat styles, crane style for groups and tiger style for individuals. There are parkour elements such as wall running, brutal takedowns called EX Actions, an enhanced state called EX Boost, and team up combination attacks with allies. Investigation sections have you search scenes for clues, pick locks and use disguises to gather information, and there are tailing sequences, where you follow a suspect unseen, and chases. Injuries called Mortal Wounds permanently reduce maximum health until a doctor or medical kits treat them. The pace is still varied, as detective sections like tailing and lock picking give the brawls a reason to stop.
