    The Yakuza/ Like a Dragon series has become one of the most beloved video game franchises on the planet. They’re a combination of cinematic crime drama, fun third person brawl combat, deep open world exploration, and insanely wacky sidequests and minigames. Yakuza Kiwami is the best version of the first game in the series. There are some changes that aren’t for the better, but overall this is an excellent version of an all-time great video game. If you’ve never played any of the Yakuza games, this new remaster is arguably the best place to start.

    Yakuza Kiwami is, without a doubt, one of the most faithful remakes ever developed. The title respects its origins while intelligently expanding the plot, delivering a much deeper and more cohesive experience. Playing it brings a mix of nostalgia and novelty. The structure of the PlayStation 2 original is still there, but with gameplay improvements that make the experience even more complete and fun. For those who have never played it, this is the definitive version. For everyone else, the new localization options are the perfect excuse to don Kiryu's gray suit once again.
