Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is the last game in the series to feature Kazuma Kiryu as its lead protagonist, and as such, offers an end to Kiryu’s character arc.

This article contains Don’t Look Up spoilers. Is this really happening?

It’s become a yearly tradition for some to revisit this classic Richard Curtis romantic comedy, reminding ourselves of the questionable early noughties fashion, the sometimes problematic storylines, the lobster-heavy nativity play and the image of Bill Nighy as rock has-been Billy Mack grinding his nether regions up against poor, undeserving Michael Parkinson’s face. And, of course, to raise a glass to the late, great Alan Rickman, even though his character is a bit of a wrong’un....
