You can have lore while telling a story. Dark Souls and Bloodborne don't really do this.

I'll write why Kazuma Kiryu easily lands in my top 5 fictional characters of all time (No spoilers below, only the marked ones) and could be in 9-A tier
So about him, I won't get much into detail about his backstory, it's easy to figure about and it's not very vast.
I don't like to call Kiryu a complicated character. His character development (or rather growth would be a better word) isn't particularly groundbreaking on the level of characters like Meruem or Big Boss, as it's not the thing that makes him great. He's fairly simple yet very multi-layered, believable and likable. differing from most character stereotypes.That's one of the reasons Yakuza fans are mad when someone says it's just like Sleeping Dogs or GTA, the quality of writing is just worlds apart.
First of all, Kiryu is strong, the strongest man in the world and a one man army, with not many being able to match him. But he's nowhere near an invincible Gary Stu. Kiryu is a very humanized, sympathetic and relatable character, despite his "badass" image that he creates at first sight. Unlike most characters, he can't just punch, cut or bullshit through his life problems. He has joined the yakuza not because he thought it would be cool, but because he admired his foster father's status and wanted to become someone, and had dreams, as most teenagers, especially orphans like him do. His lack of knowledge about the street life led him to joining without knowing the consequences. He is vulnerable, he has been through a lot, he's lost most of his comrades, and his good hearted nature is not his biggest strength, but his biggest weakness. Which led to many events in the series and harms done to Kiryu and his surroundings. He is tough in body but he has always refused to kill people, even if they were the worst scum. It's mostly because of what Kazama Shintaro, his foster father, taught him and his sworn brother Nishiki, to not repeat his sins. Kiryu's willpower always refused him to break in harshest situations, even despite his life being one large tragic event, he does that for the sake of the people he cares about. His character shows both the best and worst sides of kindness, and how you should regulate it depending on what you're going through, a relevant and important thing in everyday life, and on the streets. In the end, he unfortunately does not get a happy ending, and is forced to play dead, distancing himself from his family.
Second of all, Kiryu's character and personality is amazingly built, and it's vast and believable. I feel like there is no one who has played through the games and disliked him. He's a lovable guy, the one to have a drink and talk about life with. We learn his opinions on most subjects in many of hundreds to THOUSANDS of substories in the series (which in most of them he learns about new things and even changes his view on said subjects), and despite living a criminal lifestyle most of his life, he is usually just a normal chill guy, sometimes impulsive, goofy, lacks common sense when it comes to technology (as he spent 10 years in prison, when technology was during its revolution), has hard time paying bills for things et cetera. The seemingly invincible Dragon of Dojima is an somewhat ordinary guy with simple yet beautiful outlook on life and philosophy that can teach us various things.
So, that's my summary, Kazuma is a fictional character that I feel really attached to and in my opinion he's very well-written because of his balance of flaws and strengths, distinctive personality and mindset with many layers to it, philosophy on everyday and street life, and believability.
