Abstract: It's been nine years since Yakuza 2 came out on the PlayStation 2, which I remember well because I reviewed that video game way back then! I remember the game fondly as one of my favorite games on the PS2, so it was almost with a mixture of feeling both a...
Abstract: Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the newest remake in the Yakuza series from SEGA, bringing over the 2006 PS2 game to modern consoles. This one will be a real treat for Yakuza fans, considering it's been long-regarded as the best game in the Yakuza series. That claim m...
Kiwami 2 is yet another stellar Yakuza re-release. This time it runs in Yakuza 6's dragon engine and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at. The problem is, Yakuza 6 came out in April. This is just another Yakuza sucking away another 80 hours of your life...
Mechanically, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the best offering in the entire series. With the abundance of fun distractions, quirky side stories, break-neck and brutal combat, and the franchise's signature dark, if sometimes convoluted story, newcomers and veterans a...

Abstract: The Yakuza series on the PS4 is, at its heart, a story of family. It explores this theme through the narrative lens of the protagonist Kiryu Kazuma and the Sisyphean task of protecting the people that constitute various iterations of his family -- often f...

Despite the fact that the made-for-PlayStation 4 Yakuza 6 was only released a few short months ago, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the best and most fully formed Yakuza game of 2018 even though it's a remake of a game that's now two console generations old. Its story...
Fantastic story and characters are enhanced by modernization, Straightforward but dynamic combat rarely gets stale, Vibrant and atmospheric world that's wonderful to lose yourself in, Cabaret Club Grand Prix and Majima Construction Creator are substantial
Majima Saga is disappointingly shallow, Some holdover mechanics feel dated

Twice the city, twice the fun, Toylets, gravure photo shoots, cabaret clubs and more, Brand new playable Majima chapters, NJPW wrestlers guest star in the clan creator once again, Brawlerstyle combat still feels great and there's little to keep you from
The series is starting to hit diminishing returns for those that keep up on every release, Gravure shoots are too risque for enjoying in public or on stream, Encounter rate for random street fights feels a bit too high
A new antagonist and rippling implications of gang warfare once again drag Kazuma Kiryu back into the action. Between exploring Kamurocho and Sotenbori, ultimately players are going to find out that there's only room for one Dragon in Yakuza Kiwami 2...
Richly detailed and densely packed recreation of Japan, Deep and fun combat system, Strong characters that fit perfectly into an excellent gangster story
Some highly questionable content that undermines much of the game's charm, Every encounter tends to get solved in the same way, A few ham-fisted story moments
A story of loyalty and honor, it is peerless in the crime fiction genre. The gameplay is so varied and exhaustive even if you tend to simply solve all your problems with your fists.There are some kinks to work out about how it deals with its more lascivio...
