20. Yakuza 5
Hard mode. I considered 4 the best in the series, but this is a step up. It's more of everything (this game feels, like, Witcher 3 big), but without any dip in quality. They incorporate the side stuff into the main game a bit more, which is a plus, and the combat is beefier than ever. There's a ton of variety in the locations, the characters all play super-differently (especially and obviously
Haruka), and the cutscenes are pretty engaging (though, as always in this series, they could have been cut down a bit). I wish these games didn't have such a goofy difficulty curve.
Looking forward to playing Yakuza 0 in 2017 or whatever.
