Well, the sequel is now nearly upon us and I for one am eager to jump into the world again. I'm unsure but I feel it might be because the lack of travel the idea of losing myself in a place I'd like to travel to for a holiday again has become really appealing, kind of like virtually being there somewhat. Anyway, sounds like they've put a lot of work into this one expanding it away from a clone and adding things to improve the world, Famitsu has lost it's shit over it with 10's:

"Famitsu has awarded the Sega sequel a near-perfect score with its four reviewers issuing 9, 10, 9 and 10 for a combined 38/40. The previous game in the series received 37/40 from Famitsu (9/10/9/9).
In its review, Famitsu reportedly compliments the number of activities included throughout the game and says that the quality of its story is “even better than the last game”
Also interesting is there's already some decent sized DLC story add ons. Something that I think some past Yakuza titles never seemed to get was any love with besides costume packs and other item things. I am not a big fan of DLC but if it's decent like a minor story of length which is an actual decent add on then I'm more than happy to be in for that. Sounds like that is what they have done here with the extra cases looking like a decent extra outing although this all could be trying to figure out how to take the series forward if they can't resolve the main character dispute (https://kotaku.com/lost-judgments-new-d ... 1847611454).
A bit shitty that there is no option for the physical version including the DLC and I'm not going to buy the digital one so I'll have to buy that separately.
Looking forward to playing some of these in it too:
