Im gonna be entirely honest here, I don't like this game. The combat is the only saving grace for me but that's just Yakuza 0's combat with an extra shine. This game I think could've improved on Yakuza 1's story by enhancing the relationship between Yumi and Kiryu while also making a Nishki a better villain. Yakuza 0 made Nishki so much more tragic in my eyes but this game I feel like didn't do enough with that imo. Also I was gonna play this on hard mode like i did on 0 but holy shit why do bosses regenerate health? It's so fucking stupid. To wrap this up, at this point I'm not even sure if I'm a fan of Yakuza 1's story or if Kiwami just ruined it for me. idk. I'm going to play the original soon so we'll see
