Story:Ryuu ga Gotoku Ishin! is a historical action-adventure game developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and published by Sega. Released exclusively in Japan in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, it is a spin-off of the Yakuza series, set during the Bakumatsu period of late Edo-era Japan (mid-1800s). The game follows Sakamoto Ryoma, a samurai modeled after series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, as he becomes embroiled in political turmoil and seeks revenge for his mentor's assassination. The gameplay combines the brawler-style combat of the main Yakuza series with swordplay and gunfighting mechanics. Players can engage in the main story, participate in side activities, and explore the historical setting of Kyo (based on Kyoto).Show more

The version of this game on steam is very bad and has Denuvo. On top of that it isn't a very good port as they changed the visuals and characters a lot to be more recognizable with fans of 0. While I enjoy 0 I think they should just release the original game as it was. Please consider voting for this if you are a fan of the series.
Much better than the terrible Kiwami version that was released in 2023. Ishin Kiwami ruined the combat and removed content among other completely baffling changes such as the awful blacksmith rework and turning Amon from one of the hardest fights in the series to a total joke of a superboss. The original Ishin is in a pretty bleak spot right now as the original game was de-listed from PSN in favor of the inferior Kiwami version, and the fan-translation project was cancelled. I would love to see the original Ishin get properly re-released and translated one day, but it may never happen at this point. I can dream at least.

Please note that this ORIGINAL PS3 VERSION game NEVER got released to PC OFFICIALLY.. Only emulators can do that. Putting this game here is like giving fake hopes to people. HOWEVER there's the ISHIN! remake on PC, wich should be the one posted here and not the PS3 one
Those games also need your vote!
Scarface: The World Is Yours
Scarface: The World Is YoursThe game begins in the film's final scene, with Tony Montana's (Andre Sogliuzzo) mansion being raided by Alejandro Sosa's assassins. But this is the point of divergence from the film. Instead of being killed by the Skull, Tony manages to sense him and shoots him down. He fights through his mansion, with many deaths on both sides. In the ensuing chaos, Tony sneaks to the front of the mansion, barely alive, and manages to escape in his car. Sosa is then informed that Tony's mansion has been seized and his massive drug empire has been reduced to nothing. Hiding in a safehouse located outside of Miami, Tony regrets the decisions he has made but swears revenge on Sosa.
