It's an RPG. You improve your character through upgrades or completion of sidequests and other activities. You can also equip items for better defence and/or attacks or other effects.
You also have management mini-games that bring loads of "XP", so you don't just get "XP" through combat.

A lot of the side quests are just talking and making choices with combat at the end. So it's not really an action adventure and much closer to an RPG

So I'd guess you will not enjoy this game if you think RPGs are too complicated or just don't enjoy them anyway.

Action adventure with rpg elements (character upgrading, not story choice.)

RPG is too wide a classification now and doesn't really mean anything anymore.

EDIT: The contradictory posts illustrating the fluid nature of the description, heh.

I agree honestly, the term RPG has been stretched out pretty far. I just tried applying the definition I think is most likely the one OP is thinking of.

it has some elements of RPG but nothing too complicated . just the basic stuff

Thank you guys

Just be aware that this is a lot more story heavy than Sleeping Dogs. I liked Sleeping Dogs quite a lot and its one of my fave open world style games, but as far as story complexity and the amount of story exposition goes, Yakuza is a whole other level. I love the Yakuza series and I love its story, but you should be aware going in that you will often be sitting through 10 minute plus cut scenes.

Not a RPG in old school traditional sense, cant honestly tell the difference between modern A(ction)RPG and action adventure perhaps a little bit more to read but not much. Sleeping Dogs had 2 errors, obvious who the criminal boss is and fights, dont attack but counter attack instead but if you liked it, then you will like this.
