You know how everyone ( i think at least) has that one game they were really excited for and preordered, just generally hyped. This game is that for me. All I remember about this game is the "Play as anyone" system, and the twist at the end of the story that just made me roll my eyes. The system to play as anyone system has as much depth as a puddle. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't intially enjoy it but once you realize that every single time it's just go here and do X task, you just lose all hope around it. I think the ability to play as an enemy faction is kind of cool until you realize that its just a shoddy attempt at Hitman's disguise system. I don't think I can honestly recommend this game to a single person, I love Watch Dogs 1 & 2 a lot and it hurt to see Ubisoft throw another franchise down the toilet. Before I leave, yes I have played bloodlines, and no it didn't alleviate my complaints, it just expanded on watch dogs 1's protagonist. Don't play this garbage

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
