The value is even better as this package is available to members of Microsoft’s Game Pass program. With 3 titles whose play time can clock in around 20 hours each and even more if you indulge in the plethora of mini games and substories, it’s an absolute steal that the bundled price is $40. However those who can forgive these shortcomings, this collection is still quite a value. Visually and mechanically it will be a bit jarring for players who cut their teeth on the series with 0 and the 2 Kiwami games.

Unlike the two Kiwami titles, the titles in the remastered collection only got resolution and refresh rate enhancements (1080p and 60fps). Yakuza 5 sees Kiryu and others embroiled in another Yakuza conspiracy also players will finally take control of a female playable character, Kiryu’s ward Haruka as she navigates another seedy industry…the idol industry.

Yakuza 4 sees additional protagonists added to the mix as the ramifications of a mob hit that occurred in 1985 boil over in the “present” day. Yakuza 3 deals with series mainstay Kazuma Kiryu’s life outside of the Yakuza…but somehow he gets pulled back in Yakuza business. The Yakuza Remastered Collection consists of Yakuza 3, 4, and 5. While the PlayStation consoles got these titles first, SEGA nearly brought parity across the three platforms in the west as it finally released The Yakuza Remastered Collection on PC and Xbox (Currently the only hold out is Yakuza 6: Song of Life and Yakuza: Dead Souls).

SEGA has slowly rendered this excuse moot as they have collectively re-released the titles on the 8th generation of consoles and PC. As stated in the Yakuza: Like a Dragon review, I’ve admired the Yakuza series from afar, but the Kiryu saga spanning across 3 generations of consoles made it a bit of a chore to tackle from a backlog point of view.
