Yakuza Kiwami 2 is back to its peak, absolutely loved, the new Engine it took me a while to get used to the new mechanics.

Yes. you play as Majima again. experience his side of the story.

This is the second game since Yakuza 0 that actually made me get dirt in my eyes. The narrative is touching, emotional, and at times even downright heartbreaking. The entire story is mind-blowing, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat.

The graphics are looking good as usual yet even better, I just feel like I’m in the real town even though a lot of people complaining about their greenish color filters. I personally get used to it very soon. I feel like the filter makes the games more emotional. either way, it looks great to me. And the side quest is just as good. there’s a lot of fun and exploration to do you will always be curious about what will happen next.

Overall, this was a game I was most definitely suggested.

I played this with the Silly Mod and my brother had no idea what was part of the game and what wasn't. Truly one of the remakes of all time.

Okay but fr though, like Kiwami 1 I played the original PS2 version of Yakuza 2 before this. That game is hard to top and I honestly found myself seriously enjoying this remake, maybe even more the original! Granted, it may have been because of how hilarious the Silly Mod was to play with...

Though there are two main sticking points for quite a few people, that being the story, and the combat. Both are absolutely correct, the story is completely all over the place, with random twists and turns out the wazoo. Also a golden castle appearing out of the ground... full of ninjas... and spike traps... and a minigun cannon... with two tigers at the end. And the matter of combat, being a port of Yakuza 6's combat, which can be uh... frustrating at times, to say the least; things like your hits bouncing and staggering you when hitting targets that are blocking, or how minibosses/bosses can sometimes feel like paper mache with how many moves can just obliterate entire healthbars.

Despite both of these pretty big complaints, but ultimately I'd still argue it's more than worth playing! At the end of the day, it's Yakuza, and you're always guaranteed a good time! 9/10, fantastic game, play it now. (or you're a chump)

kiryu and majima actually kiss in this one trust me
