    Due to some technical issues to the PC that yet to be fixed i cant recommend this game at a full price the story is pretty much like every yakuza story and the mini games are the sames as the previous 2 games.The combat and visuals are improved and are pretty good and i loved the mini games but there are alot of various bugs that ruin the overall experience and i feel like this importDue to some technical issues to the PC that yet to be fixed i cant recommend this game at a full price the story is pretty much like every yakuza story and the mini games are the sames as the previous 2 games.The combat and visuals are improved and are pretty good and i loved the mini games but there are alot of various bugs that ruin the overall experience and i feel like this import was rushed out because of it.I can only recommend this after the bugs are fixed or at a discount price.… Expand

    Both Kiwami games are basically short expansions of Zero, the main difference in this one is that now you level up by eating on restaurants instead of doing side quests, and money is very easy to come by so you can eat your fill and max out easily, the combat is also simpler than on Zero.

    The story is more violent than the previous ones but still very unrealistic, some side quests are unavoidable. Just feels very rehashy if you did everything on Zero and kinda got burned out.    … Expand

    Combat is **** when compared to 0 and Kiwami 1, the way that you gain experience is also **** The story and side quests are good as usual.

    Like any other Yakuza game, this is good.
    In-depth minigames, Gorgeous graphics but not so gorgeous performance, Semi-forgettable characters but they are still good, VERY plot-twist dependent story which can either be a bad thing or a good thing and kind of janky combat, Pray to god that you dont hit the enemy while he is blocking or else your arms will bounce everywhere and that is an    Like any other Yakuza game, this is good.

    Like with kiwami 1, This game is good but falls short when compared to other games in the franchise.    … Expand

    İlk iki oyundan sonra yeni bir motor ile yapılmış, grafikleri, oynanışı ve hikayesi başarılı. Ancak önceki oyunlarda olduğu gibi dövüş stilini kaldırılmış durumda, bunu bir eksik olarak görüyor muyum emin değilim. Oyun huzur veriyor.
    Adam döv rahatla. Pavyon işlet rahatla. Mis.

    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.

    Yakuza Kiwami 2 has a funny magnetism that I haven’t experienced in a long time. It’s not a game that I felt pressured to make progress in or play, because I enjoyed every second. For me, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a fantastic standalone game since I had no prior experience with the series. I think it says a lot for a game to be able to hold its own without relying on nostalgia of previous titles, and Yakuza Kiwami 2 can definitely stand on its own two feet.

    Kiwami 2 is best thought of as a remake masquerading as an encore. More separation may have allowed it to better stand out and ease Yakuza’s encroaching sense of repetition. It’s impossible to deny the charm of its weird idiosyncrasies and the power of its serpentine drama. Kiwami 2 hits the modern Yakuza standard and, with any reasonable hope, breaks it for good. It also, for better or for worse, will finally allow people to cherish Yakuza 2 outside of its legendary tiger battle.
