I adore the Yakuza games. You explore a small slice of Tokyo, get into constant OTT fistfights, and help weirdos with bizarre problems. Like, say, distracting a bunch of children so a living statue can sneak off to take a dump without traumatising them.
2009’s Yakuza 3 sees recurring protagonist Kazuma Kiryu quitting the yakuza (oh, has it already been a week?) to run an orphanage in a small seaside town. This new equilibrium doesn’t last and soon Kiryu is wrapped up in yet another absurd plot involving many furious men punching each other, killing each other, and slapping each other around with bicycles.
