Honour, civil war between gangs and a life behind bars. Yakuza is all that and so much more. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life however? One thing is for certain: It’s the end of the Dragon of Dojima. Is it a touching farewell song or a drunken karaoke ballad in its construction however? Apparently, it’s a damn fine farewell to arms as critical reviews have been mostly positive so far.

You can run, you can hide. You can even cry. Hell, you might as well do all three because nostalgia is coming and it won’t take any prisoners as the Genesis days are returning.

You’re walking down the streets of a Japanese red light district. Minding your own business, possibly thinking of grabbing a drink when all of a sudden a random group of ruffians demands that your face becomes best friends with their knuckles.

The streets of Kamurocho have never been safe in SEGA’s Yakuza franchise. More often than not, asking for directions usually requires smashing a face into a brick wall as hoodlums and con artists try to make a quick buck off of you. What’s a Yakuza dude to do, when he needs to unwind and de-stress from the day-to-day life of rearranging faces? Run a cat cafe of course. Or maybe something else. No wait, running a cat cafe still sounds like the best thing ever.

Theme Hospital is whimsical game that let players build their own hospital and deal with the ridiculous diseases and afflictions the general populace would come down with. And it’s coming back. Sort of. Yesterday, SEGA and Two Point announced Two Point Hospital, a spiritual successor to that game.
