Yakuza 6: The Song of Life - After Hours Premium Edition

About

Play as Kazuma Kiryu in a gritty Japanese crime saga filled with brutal hand-to-hand combat and large side activities. The story follows his return to the yakuza world after a quiet life is shattered by a violent attack on his loved ones. Players navigate a mix of street brawls, casino minigames, and tense negotiations while uncovering corporate conspiracies and family secrets. Combat leans into fast-paced button-mashing with some strategic depth, complemented by golf and bowling diversions that feel surprisingly polished. The After Hours Premium Edition adds collectible physical items like barware and a art book for fans wanting to lean into the game's nightlife theme. While the main story clocks in at around 40 hours, player communities note dozens of extra hours spent chasing side quests and local legends. Reception highlights the emotional core of Kiryu's final arc, though some find the pacing uneven during mid-game detours. Available only on PlayStation 4, it remains a key entry for series completists.
