The blend of historical intrigue and RGG Studio’s signature brawler chaos sounds like a match made in gaming heaven—here’s hoping the story delivers as hard as the combat. Also, that trailer’s aesthetic is so slick it could cut through steel. (Keeps it casual but insightful, praising the studio’s strengths while nodding to the trailer’s style without rehashing the same points.)

Love that RGG Studio is sticking to their signature Yakuza-style combat while diving into a fresh historical setting—gives me major 'what if Kiryu time-traveled' vibes. Can't wait to see how they weave real-world history into their trademark over-the-top action. (Keeps it fresh by focusing on the studio's consistency and the fun historical twist, without rehashing details about combat or the trailer.)
