Is it just me or is the game insanely easy?

Hard is a joke of a difficulty

This is the case for literally every Yakuza game.

i feel like the difficulty level only matters in boss fights.

Dragon engine entries all have that issue tbh. Everything has so little health that you can just step on them and they die, even on legend. Only real tough parts are just boss mortal wound combos on higher difficulties. Also the moment you can pick up a bicycle you've basically won the fight and all that too. But hey, at least the minigames make up for the difficulty, with the tight timings on drone racing and.... the fighting arcade games

There are mods to give enemies more hp, but this game has yet to obtain a "this is just harder now lol" mod.

Giving enemies more HP is just cancer and not fun.

Im not the best beat em up gamer but yakuza kiwami 2 , 6 and judgement are so much easier than yakuza 0, kiwami , 3-5.

like valk said, enemies fly all over the screen with one punch sometimes lol.

I wanna have fun tho and not a hard challange

Honestly for some fights it is good. The final bosses of K2 and LJ honestly need far more HP than they have, more in line with LJ's Amon. It is especially bad for K2's final boss, where you find most people saying that thematically its the best boss in the series but "its a shame it was over so fast", because the boss literally melts in a matter of seconds. 90% of the fight is just waiting for the QTE cutscenes.

To most people it probably isnt, unless they`re spamming health items...doing that would make everything trivial I guess.

I found it significantly easier than Yakuza games. I'd usually play normal, but had to bump this up to hard since every fight felt a bit too easy

I'd agree that in terms of normal difficulty judgement is certainly easier than 6 or K2 honestly, only really becoming remotely difficulty because of the mortal wounds from boss combos on hard, aswell as how they mostly nerfed the overpowered dragon engine inventory via the removal of higher tier toughness / staminan. Can still make up for it with food, but you could do that in K2 and 6 aswell as the healing items.

Once I got good at preventing deadly attacks with walljump finishers, all the fights became pretty easy. Even more so in LJ with Snake Style, can just humiliate the bosses by parrying anything they throw at you haha

Well yeah but at the same time, with the exception of a certain ohko QTE at the end of a fight, nothing in K2 or 6 hits even remotely close to as hard as a mortal wound combo in judgement on hard and legend, being a near KO if you;re at full health on hard and pretty much a guaranteed KO on legend.

If you use any of the Elemental Extracts with unlimited charge, the enemies become aggressive trees stumps. I've had to forbid myself to use them because it saps away any fun the combat had.

I'm playing on legendary and some of thee battles are absolute cake walks compared to the Yakuza games.

Just wait til you hit the section with multiple boss-style fights back to back with no save points. Thats by far the hardest part of regular judgement's legend run (if you arent trying to do legend amon ofcourse).

the strangest thing about this game's difficulty for me is that there are also cheat items to make it even easier, not sure why they exist

Do you mean the gambling cheat items, minigame DLC items, or the DLC extracts?
Cause the gambling cheat items are there for people who dont want to learn the gambling side, minigame DLC items are just there to encourage people to buy the DLC on console.

The DLC extracts are somewhat overpowered though yeah. Granted, they do have that extremely long cooldown though.
