    Excellent work which brings back one of the most beloved chapters of the saga: highly recommended to all, even to those who have already played it over two decades ago.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a fantastic sequel and a game worthy of the Yakuza title. It improves on almost every aspect of the original, creating a much more immersive version of Kamurocho and deepening the already compelling relationships between the recurring characters. It also has a better villain and more engaging side quests. Yes, there are annoyances, bugs, and some pacing issues with the overall plot, but on the whole, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a wonderful addition to the Yakuza franchise. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to Kamurocho!

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 delivers a slick fresh coat of paint onto this Japanese epic tale, while keeping the same engaging and complex story that fans know and love. A memorable narrative, and some excellent dialogue and delivery make this a story that is worth playing, even for new entrants to the franchise. Meanwhile, while there are a few blotches on the graphical presentation of this remake, Tokyo has never looked so authentic in a game before, and the atmosphere built is second to none. There are some niggles with the camera, and the slightly outdated UI, however, the combat and mini-games are of a high standard, and keep things incredibly enjoyable throughout this extensive adventure.

    The tale of Tokyo and Osaka, Kiryu and Sayama's partnership, and Kiryu and Goda's rivalry remains one of the Yakuza's best stories, and Kiwami 2's minor missteps don't affect the heart of that experience.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 doesn't hit all the notes of its predecessor, but it's still a gorgeous re-imagining of one of Sega's finest action games.

    I had never heard of the Yakuza series until March 2019 and have since placed Yakuza Kiwami 0, 1 and 2. They've quickly become my favoriteI had never heard of the Yakuza series until March 2019 and have since placed Yakuza Kiwami 0, 1 and 2. They've quickly become my favorite series. For 0 and 1, I ignored all of the minigames and side-content; as I was so engaged in the story. For whatever reason, in Yakuza Kiwami 3, I found myself completing all the side-missions and they were also fun. Although, I'd probably ignore the Majima Construction minigame; unless you want to listen to the song.

    SEGA, please release 3, 4, 5 and 6 for the PC.    … Expand

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 es un juego muy bueno, un beat'em up muy bien hecho que sigue muy bien la saga. La historia como siempre mantiene el tonoYakuza Kiwami 2 es un juego muy bueno, un beat'em up muy bien hecho que sigue muy bien la saga. La historia como siempre mantiene el tono serio y dramático habitual, continuando con la historia de Kiryu un año después de los eventos del 1; pero ese tono serio, como siempre, se complementa con el tono más cómico de muchas de las tramas secundarias y personajes secundarios, y con los muchísimos minijuegos que siempre tiene la saga. La lucha se siente muy bien, la verdad, aunque se pierden los tres estilos de combate de Kiryu, el único estilo que tiene ahora está diseñado de un modo que es muy divertido luchar con él. Quizás la única "pega" es que el añadido de Majima está ligeramente desaprovechado, siendo muy corto en contenido y en opciones de combate, pero está bien aprovechado a la hora de dar una profundidad y desarrollo a Majima, a quien en el 1 solo hemos visto como antagonista humorístico.

    A nivel gráfico el juego está muy guay, y poder recorrer de nuevo no solo Kamurocho sino Sotenbori mola mucho. Y a nivel de sonido el juego está bastante bien, con buena música, buenas voces y buenos efectos. Quizás señalar que a nivel de bugs me he encontrado que me ha colgado un par de veces el ordenador y no podía jugar el minijuego de la empresa de construcción, porque me lo colgaba casi siempre; pero puede ser cosa de mi ordenador y que no os pase.

    En resumen, sin duda es un juego muy recomendable, que continúa muy bien la saga. Por ello es recomendable haber jugado tanto el Zero como el Kiwami 1 antes que este. Un 8.    … Expand
