PETER HOSKIN: The series gameplay is great fun: a mix of strolling around bustling Japanese cities and frantically pressing buttons to beat up no-good punks.

Yakuza Remastered Collection (Xbox One) Review
With the huge mainstream success of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, it seems a bit strange to think that the Yakuza games were, for years, a niche series. Titles would come out in the West a long time after their Japanese release, and only on PlayStation consoles. The few Western fans of the series had to endure quizzical looks from their friends when enthusiastically trying to describe these amazing, strange gangster epics from Japan.
But Yakuza is niche no more. Besides being many critics’ contender for Game of the Year in 2020 (something I never thought I’d see), the entire back catalogue of titles has recently been made available for all platforms. Now the Yakuza Remastered Collection comes to Xbox, and it brings along with it a massive world of quality content, all polished up for the latest hi-def TVs. If you own an Xbox and haven’t yet checked out these games, this is a must-buy.

It s only been about three years since I had my first encounter with the Yakuza franchise, but it seems a lot longer. Many folks, including myself, picked up the series with Yakuza 0 since it was the perfect entry point to an ongoing story, one that had trouble showing off its strengths to a new audience. Since then, Sega and developer RGG Studio have made great strides in building a new life for Yakuza with the Kiwami remakes and remastering of everything else, to bring the whole series to platforms it was never on before.
