I'm a huge fan of the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. I'm played all the main games from 0-6 and Judgment, with 7 and Lost Judgment left to play. Ishin wasn't totally on my radar, being a remaster of a spin-off set in the past, but I was able to pick it up cheap so decided to give it a go.I'm only an hour or so in, but it seems like everything that makes me a fan of the Yakuza games is present here. Fun beat-em-up combat mixed with serious storytelling, wacky side stories, and minigames. The time period, at least so far, isn't as interesting to me as the mainline games, but I think it'll grow on me.

Verdict: Keep Playing

Update: After playing more and getting about halfway through the story, it's still not grabbing me like the other Yakuza games. This one is changing to a Revisit for me.
