[The winner of this award was Yakuza: Like A Dragon]
[Voiced by Phaseroll]
Yakuza has always been prone to some very clever and talented writing; as a series that juggles comedy and tragedy ought to be. Besides seamlessly swapping between the two tones, Sega also made sure to implement older aspects of the series like reoccurring towns and characters in restrained, respectful manners, giving a nod to what came before and fitting it in with the prеsent happenings, wrapping it up with a cohesivе adulation.
Even looking past the prior entries, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is still able to stand on its own two feet, with the same juggling and nods as before, while adding in a whole slew of things that give the game a more unique and fresh feel.
Keep in mind the writing doesn’t just stop at character interactions, which there are plenty of, but even extends into the silliness of the series as well; lyrics for karaoke songs, bizarre, comedic scenarios that don’t really translate well to Western humor, hell, even a quest where you fight a giant Roomba. What can we say; it’s Yakuza writing. It wasn’t broken so they didn’t fix it. Just improve on it.
