Our take

The last entry in The Yakuza Papers series moves away from its real-world inspiration and plunges into deliriously elaborate rivalries. Exploring the intricately sprawling nature of criminal warfare—loyalties, betrayals, clan allegiance, and blood debts—it makes Game of Thrones look simple!
