   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

   FotNS: Lost Paradise is mix between Yakuza and a post-apocaliptic scenario with bizarre situations and funny moments.

   -Graphics: runs in the old Yakuza engine at 60 fps but using a cell-shading style that tries to imitate cartoon-like graphics rather than realistic. It could have more detail in some moments and the desert area need more work.
   
   -Story: its quite simple and a bit similar to Yakuza 2 in some aspects. A more martial art focused story and a better character development could have delivered a better story even including Yuria
   
   -Exploration: similar to Yakuza, with more minigames rather than metagames, some like Manager Ken should have more explanations and a similar system to Yakuza.
   
   The buggy has to mechanics: races (minigames) and looting materials to improve it. The last one kinda boring and bartering not always gives you what you want.
   
   Coloseum works better here than in Yakuza.
   
   -Combat: the best combat system since Yakuza 0, fast and with a lot of opportunities to perform.
   The burt mode (Extreme Heat Mode) works really good and its more useful than in Yakuza.
   
   -Conclusion: if you are a Yakuza fan or llke martial arts, this might be for you.… Expand

   I bought this game hoping that it could be my introduction to the series but I was wrong. The game just didn't give you a lot of substantialI bought this game hoping that it could be my introduction to the series but I was wrong. 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

   This game is really embarrassing. All the same. Artificial intelligence is pathetic and the music is not original
