10 Best PS4 Games Of 2018 - Ranked
6. Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life
Yakuza Kiwami 2 was a remake that dropped in 2018, but the Yakuza series didn't end with that title. The sixth in the Yakuza franchise, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life was originally released in Japan back in 2016, but finally found its way to the North American and European markets with an English-language version in April 2018.
The Song Of Life follows a similar action-adventure setting as the previous games with a vast open world environment. Players take control of the main character in a third-person style and get right into the action with a mix of over the top combat and an arcade style of playing.
Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life received positive reviews from fans of the franchise as well as gaming critics since the moment it hit store shelves. It has been called the best in the series and was nominated for several awards at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards.
This is one of those games you can pick up and play without ever playing a previous Yakuza title, but after doing so, you will probably want to dive right into its predecessors. As a PS4 exclusive, this is exactly the type of title that works for the console.
