Is it still worth playing?

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's 2017 action adventure for the PlayStation 4, a remake of Yakuza 2 from 2006. A year after leaving the Tojo Clan, Kazuma Kiryu returns when the Fifth Chairman is murdered by assassins. It is played in two open districts, Kamurocho in Tokyo and Sotenbori in Osaka, whose shops and locations can be entered without loading screens. Fights there are melee, with weapons that include street objects and Heat Actions, finishers used when a meter fills. Between fights there is a lot more to do: karaoke, batting cages, a Cabaret Club and Clan Creator, plus The Majima Saga, a separate scenario with Goro Majima. A serious story set among this much optional content, in two districts with no loading in between, still gives you plenty to do today.
