Yakuza
Brawler combat built on counter windows and crowd control, with fighting styles you swap mid-scrap. The cheats top up health and the Heat gauge because there's nothing to aim at. Upgrade trees and a sprawling side-business economy give it a macro side, but the fights are where the skill is.
Where it sits
How strongly Yakuza leans on each of the three dimensions.
micro
HighExecution is the heart of Yakuza: clean inputs, timing, and mechanical precision decide outcomes. What would break it is a tool that plays those inputs for you.
meso
LowThere is little to read in Yakuza: with no live opponent or hidden information to exploit, seeing what you shouldn't would not help.
macro
MediumStrategy plays a role in Yakuza, since there is a system to optimize, but it is not the whole story.
