Yakuza Kiwami 2

Great continuation from Yakuza K1. K2 uses the new Dragon engine, which gives it a huge graphical improvement (Sotenbori at night being especially beautiful to look at). The combat system has also been dramatically altered, sacrificing the 3 unique styles for just one you can upgrade while having 3 weapon slots instead of one. I didn't feel too strongly about this change, except that I did miss switching between such unique styles. Even though the ragdoll physics can be downright goofy and take you out of serious moments, being able to chuck enemies into the Sotenbori River and onto the highway like Mario spinning Bowser in SM64 will never not be funny. A few minor details I'd like to praise are the improved inventory system, how eating food also grants XP, and the variety of heat actions (Essence of Sadism and Essence of Unlucky Man ftw). The Majima Saga was also nice - tying up Makoto's story with an amazingly bittersweet ending, though the actual gameplay was very lacklustre. For downsides: most of the side-stories weren't very engaging/interesting, the camera felt very floaty - like it was on ice, weapons which let you completely dogwalk bosses, a few plot conveniences, roaming gangs now chasing you across the entire town instead of stopping after a little bit. Favourite moments: Age-regressing yakuza family, Kiryu voicing a boys-love eroge, Kiryu tiger-dropping a tiger, Kiryu slamming the table and storming off, Dio's VA Takehito Koyasu voicing a character in Majima's Saga. 8/10.

have not finished the game yet but the combat is nice, the enemies arent as tough but i find evading attacks a bit difficult, but after all i didnt upgrade it to the max, so i cant really judge much on that point. the sidestories are good and entertaining as much as the main story. I like that they kept minigames in the game, such as the cabaret club or the majima game, although im not an expert in the majima one and i suck at it. A BIG improvement with the UI and the graphics in the game, which i absolutely loved. the game buffers sometimes and often gives me a message saying that my controller has deconnected, even though its on bluetooth sometimes but i dont find it as annoying. My goal right now is to 100% the game so that i can leave a valid review, but in general i find the game better than the first one, in certain aspects, not in all of them. Overall a 10/10 at the moment

Estoy jugando toda la saga de Yakuza en orden cronológico y veía varias listas en donde decían que el 2 no era tan bueno. Aunque la historia del 0 es increíble, la jugabilidad y opciones del 2 me han encantado, así que lo recomiendo totalmente.

Прошёл на платину, странное чувство, движок понравился, сюжет не очень, даже первая часть показалась лучше. Зато платина самая лёгкая если считать 0 и 1 части .

A wonderful remake with the new Dragon Engine. No one should start with the second part of Yakuza. But if you like the previous Yakuza games, you can't miss out on this one. The combat is great, the quests are fine, and the story (especially the ending) is pure cinema. Hands down, Kazuma Kiryu is one of the best video game characters of all time !
