Yakuza 7. The story and characters in this game are hilarious but it also has darker, serious moments. Yakuza 7 is one of the games in an entire series that can balance this without feeling like a complete tonal whiplash. They really know how to switch between light-hearted and serious in the main narrative and then relegate most of the absurdity to the side missions. I also like the combat system a lot, it really works as a JRPG. It somehow feels less repetitive eventhough it's menu based. I'm also surprised of the maturity with which the game deals with subjects like prejudice, finger-pointing, homelesness and prostitution. The game never gets preachy but rather dives into the sociological circumstances in true Yakuza fashion and provide genuinely great commentary.
