Is it still worth playing?

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's 2016 action adventure, the last main Yakuza game with Kazuma Kiryu as its protagonist, set in Kamurocho in Tokyo and Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture. Kiryu returns to care for his adoptive daughter's infant son and investigates the circumstances of the child's birth, while a conflict between criminal organizations unfolds in both cities. You explore an open world in third person, with arcade style combat that uses ragdoll physics. Kiryu has one fighting style, and Extreme Heat Mode makes him resistant to knockback while his Heat lasts. Eating at restaurants also grants experience, but it raises a hunger gauge that limits how much you can eat. Arcade titles such as Out Run and Space Harrier are playable as play spots. The open world still has things to do between fights, from a hunger gauge that limits how much you can eat to arcade cabinets in the city.
