   One of the most fulfilling Fist of The North Star games yet. It runs on the Yakuza 0 engine, but often times doesn't feel like it. KenshiroOne of the most fulfilling Fist of The North Star games yet. It runs on the Yakuza 0 engine, but often times doesn't feel like it. Kenshiro flows between enemies more fluidly and overall the action is more exciting. The minigames are stupidly fun, but I won't go into great detail to avoid spoilers. If you are a yakuza fan, definitely grab this when you can. If you're a Fist of The North Star fan, then this is a MUST. Here's hoping to more and improved games in the future. Ryu Ga Gotoku studios do not disappoint.… Expand

However everything that has to do with the car I consider the lowest point of the game, driving the car in this game is not very satisfactory, it is handled hard and heavy, you skid with everything, and the tracks have a dubious design, mostly tracks uphill where you will never feel the sensation of speed or obstacles very annoying and sometimes impossible to avoid, the Wasteland is something specially made for the car I consider part of it, it is empty there is not much to do there and it is very flat in its immersion, besides that I consider that it is where the technical side of the game falters, with mountains and floors with opaque textures and very polygonal mountains.
   
   Fortunately only the car in general is what I consider the only bad points recorded in this game, the rest is very good, as I said before, good fighting system, many game modes with which to hang out and play dumb, excellent music, a very good art style and makes the game a delight to look at (except the wasteland), and although I said that the car is the worst in the game, I do not consider it "terrible" only very much below the rest, but it has many options so that the player does not waste his time farming parts of the car, the game constantly has many options to progress in a comfortable way without being tedious. In general a very entertaining game especially for the fans of Fist of the North Star since this is a great deal of fans and references that will be enjoyed by the biggest anime-manga fans.… Expand

The game just didn't give you a lot of substantial context to the characters unless you were a fan who watched the anime prior. In a lot of scenes, they'd introduce a character whose apparently important to the anime but is just nonchalantly thrown aside in the game after a few minutes.
   
   Compare that to the Yakuza games. The early games established characters and relationships before the plot really gets going and then those characters are developed as the game went on.
   
   In Lost Paradise, the way they handled relationships, character intros, and overall lore felt like an inside joke that you wouldn't get unless you were in the same room 30 years ago. The game just expected you to know who these people were and fill in the blanks yourself. I came into this game not really knowing the characters and I came out of it feeling the same way.
   
   Also, the game world and the substories were fairly dull. Apart from one substory including a group of pacifists, there really weren't a lot of standouts. Largely felt generic which is surprising seeing as how this game was made by the same people behind the Yakuza games which are filled with wacky and memorable substories.
   
   The minigames were a good bit of fun apart from one. The cabaret club minigame that they got from Yakuza is not as fun or rewarding this time around. However, the rhythm based minigame wherein Kenshiro is basically doctor was fun and lively and the mini game where Kenshiro hits raiders with a steel structure and measure the distance of their flight was awesome.
   
   The combat was solid overall. The presentation, the gore, and the famous "You're already dead" moments were all done so well. It definitely made you feel like a true badass not to be **** with. My one gripe is that it got repetitive fairly quickly even with all the upgrades I put in. It didn't take long until I was purposely avoiding fights.
   
   I honestly wanted to love this game and enjoy it more than I actually did. It was a game that I was incredibly hyped about but in the end, the game didn't immerse me into the world as much as I wanted. It is still a solid game that has a strong appeal towards longtime fans and with the sheer amount of content, it justifies the price. For me though, it's one of 2018's disappointing games.… Expand
