Yakuza is great and crazy fun. This one is not as big and seemingly-endless as Zero, but the main story is very good and gripping (specially knowing the events of its prequel) and the fights are fantastic and rewarding.
Yeah it's fine. The story's still good and the new cutscenes do a good job of fleshing out Nishiki, but it is ultimately just applying 0's ideas in a pretty flat way, and the Kiwami system completely ruins most bossfights. But a weaker Yakuza is still a pretty great time overall, so hey.
terminei o jogo sem nem ter feito um majima encounter então não tinha o dragon mode pra última luta
ótimos momentos

Fun as hell, can't complain much.
epicooooo
Decent but definitely the weakest Yakuza game I've played. Don't think it helped that I came to it just after finishing Judgement which is a much better game set in the same world.
would be better if it wasn't trying so hard to be yakuza 0. fixes some problems with the original but brings in new ones too
A great remake where the worst parts are the bits that feel like a PS2 game. Half of the boss fights kinda suck (especially the second-to-last-one) and there's a lot of padding, but the story is still great and it's an overall good time.
The moves you get while great for 1v1, not suited for 1vmorethanone with some balancing this game could get better, apart from that not a bad game
There is a lot of charm in a world where no one takes anything too seriously. A lone action hero can play arcade games with kids or hang out with his childhood friend at the RC races. However, the violence of patriarchy is unchecked all throughout. The way each male character is framed compared to the female character communicates this. But even moreso, the game focuses on the search for a little girl's mother and unfortunately the way Kiryu and his friends deal with her causing problems is hitting her. The game doesn't frame this as a problem, but really its a consistent implicit support of violent patriarchal relations. Not a fan, and totally made me feel distaste for the series.
not the greatest yakuza game but still a hell of an experience
The obnoxious grindness of the Majima Everywhere system and most of the OST remixes being awful take a lot of points out of this remake. The combat is exactly like 0's so it's much better than the original, but a lot of the bosses are badly designed. While it still has the charm of all Yakuza games, this is one of the worst entries in the series.
Feels more like an expansion of 0 given its similar game feel and activities. Still compelling, but sad that the different combat styles in Kiwami were nerfed.
One of the weaker yakuzas but overall still solid with some very high highs
Unless you obtained the Tiger Drop, Rush style is your best friend. After playing 0, the added cutscenes with Nishiki did elevate my perception of Kiwami.
beating the ever living shit out of people got old, but at least it's better than yakuza 1... i guess
Another solid title after Yakuza 0. Can't wait for Kiwami 2.
Tenho menos horas nesse game do que no anterior, porém foi o que fiz mais atividades. Pouco evolui de Yakuza 0, mas não deixa de ser divertido.
A weaker game than 0, Yakuza Kiwami still delivers a well-rounded and emotional experience for those invested in Kiryu's story. The added scenes in this version of the game bring a lot of volume to the villain's arc and Haruka is an outstanding character that completes the Yakuza dynamic.
I personally found the character progression in Kiwami to actually be more engaging than 0, and the ties to Majima Everywhere really helped that. However, a lot of the plotting and scenarios do feel ripped right out of a PS2 game, because they are. This doesn't have a ton of bearing on my enjoyment of the game but it does drag it just beneath Yakuza 0 in my personal ranking of the series.

there’s a lot of fighting in this majima dating sim
kiryu you're my father
You can tell the pacing is from an older game, and majima won't leave you alone, but this is still real good
"let's go home."
Fine, but much more compressed than 0 to a point where I don't leave with much of an impact, barring a fantastic post-credits cutscene. Combat is much more enjoyable though.

okay the game is a mess but it's a yakuza game so it's a very charming and fun mess
Look Majima I know you have an obsession with Kiryu but I'm just trying to heal please I'm gonna d-
Could be a lot better. Good game, good remake, but not great at either.
great game, but it doesn't reach the same heights as Yakuza 0. the boss fights were especially disappointing and an exercise in frustration.
This is one of those games where you can just FEEL how small the budget was as you're playing. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, but coming off of 0 it's pretty jarring. I like the Majima Everywhere system a lot, the bits of Nishiki's story are great, and the final boss fight is sick as hell. Overall, it feels like a cheap expansion to 0 and that's ok, because 0 is amazing.
eh
Not a great remake as it weakens the story with the introduction of the Majima Everywhere system but its still a good entry point into the series.
