Being late has its advantages. If you didn’t watch the first episode of Breaking Bad until all five seasons were over, or you’ve just discovered the films of Bong Joon-Ho after Parasite’s Best Picture Oscar win, then a treasure trove of good times awaits. The same applies to the Yakuza series: formerly the preserve of other formats, it’s making its belated bow on Xbox very soon, and once you start playing you’ll realise what skull-cracking delights you’ve been missing. You lucky, lucky people.
