Is it still worth playing?

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's 2016 remake of the first Yakuza, set in Kamurocho, a fictional Tokyo district. You play Kazuma Kiryu, framed for a murder, released after ten years in prison, who investigates a murder and the theft of ten billion yen. It is an action adventure with role playing elements, in which enemies attack in the streets and people offer side quests for rewards. Combat is brawling with arcade inspired abilities, where experience upgrades Kiryu and battles unlock moves of his Dragon style. A system called Majima Everywhere has Goro Majima challenge Kiryu to random fights, jumping him mid fight or popping out of manholes in disguises, each with experience as the reward. Optional substories make up most of the long running time. Side stories that take up most of the play still make the neighborhood feel worth walking.
