Yakuza Kiwami makes me happy and frustrated at the same time. The happy side almost wins out, but not quite. The characters and the story are great! I was connected to everything that was going on and always wanted to push forward.

That being said most other aspects come with caveats. Kiwami gives you something with one hand and takes something else away with the other. The combat is fun, but the bosses can be annoying and the game really likes to stun lock you keeping your character immobile for much of it. The side content can be interesting, but a lot of it feels like busywork. Majima everywhere was brilliant, but is so drawn out that unless you grind it you can forget about keeping up with the final skill tree.
