The reviews reflect a significant appreciation for the game's improved combat mechanics and expansive side content, bringing a rich and engaging experience to fans of the series. However, there is notable criticism of the story's execution and the decision to put key features like New Game+ behind a DLC paywall, which dampened some players' enthusiasm. While the dual protagonist structure received mixed responses regarding its impact on the narrative, the overall sentiment suggests that, despite its flaws, Infinite Wealth is an ambitious and rewarding addition to the franchise.

Positive Points

  • Players found the turn-based combat system to be significantly improved from the previous installment, adding depth and dynamic positioning options while retaining the series' signature style.
  • The game introduced a variety of engaging and diverse side activities such as Dondoko Island and Sujimon battles, providing players with vast and entertaining content beyond the main story.
  • The character interactions and development, particularly with Ichiban and the dual protagonist approach, were celebrated for their depth and emotional impact.

    • Negative Points

  • Several players found the story to be less compelling than previous entries, citing it as sometimes meandering or lacking in focus.
  • The decision to lock New Game+ and higher difficulty levels behind a paid DLC was criticized as a consumer-unfriendly practice.
  • The game suffered from technical issues, particularly frequent crashing, which affected the player experience negatively.

    • Mixed Points

  • While some players appreciated the game's expansive open world and new setting in Hawaii, others felt it was too large and empty, diminishing the series' traditional charm.
  • The split narrative approach with Ichiban and Kiryu was met with both appreciation for its character depth and criticism for diluting the story's focus.

    • Common Themes

  • The game's blend of serious drama and absurd comedy was consistently noted as a hallmark of the series that continues to be executed effectively.
  • A strong sense of nostalgia and fan service was a major draw for long-time fans, especially with references and character returns from previous Yakuza games.
  • The amount of content, both in terms of gameplay and story, was highlighted, with the consensus being that the game offers excellent value for its size.
