Website/Author | Aggregates' & Critic's Score | Quote | Platform |
---|---|---|---|
Eurogamer - Martin Robinson | Recommended ~ Recommended | Perhaps not the greatest Yakuza game, but Kazuma Kiryu's farewell certainly makes for the most human. | PS4 |
Digitally Downloaded - Matt Sainsbury | 100 ~ 5 / 5 stars | If there’s any justice in the world Yakuza 6 would sell millions of copies. It’s smart, sharp, often surreal, and always hugely entertaining. The game maintains the series’ penchant for reproducing the experience of being in a Japanese city to exacting details, and then overlays a brilliant, labyrinthine, wildly funny B-grade yakuza drama over the top. It’s the kind of game you just “live” in, and the perfect example of open world game design done right. | PS4 |
Expansive - Ray Willmott | 100 ~ 10 / 10 | Without question, Yakuza 6 is one of the most enviable platform exclusive titles ever made because it just has everything you could ever wish for and more. A perfect send off for one of the greatest video game characters and gaming series of all time. | PS4 |
CFG Games - Maximillian Ringgenberg | 98 ~ 4.9 / 5 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is an emotional bookend to a fantastic series. A few minor issues are overshadowed by a great story, fantastic game play, and a ton of side content. It's sad to see the main line games end but it gets a fitting ending. | PS4 |
CGMagazine - Lane Martin | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is everything I want in a Yakuza game, plus a baby… and a cat café. | PS4 |
PlayStation Universe - John-Paul Jones | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | A rip-roaring conclusion to Kiryu's tale and the best entry in the Yakuza series to date, Yakuza 6 is a triumph that effortlessly cements its place in the pantheon of all-time JRPG greats. | PS4 |
ZTGD - Jae Lee | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | It's an absolute emotional rollercoaster ride, packaged together with some of the best content the series has offered to date and polished to an absolute shine. | PS4 |
PowerUp! - Leo Stevenson | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | Like a good book or a new show on Netflix, Yakuza 6 is something to be binged. Writing this Yakuza 6 review was a challenge because it forced me to stop playing. I really didn't want to. I mean I REALLY didn't want to stop playing. Yakuza 6 is the kind of game that lodges itself in your brain and doesn't let go. | PS4 |
Geek Culture Podcast - Josh Garibay | 95 ~ 9.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life brings Kazuma Kiryu's long-running tale to an end and does so on a high note. This is the wacky-yet-serious Yakuza vision fully realized, or at least it is damn close to it. Newcomers and established fans alike will find plenty to love in this father figure's quest for answers and revenge in a world where everything can be resolved with shirtless brawls. This powerful conclusion to the Dragon of Dojima's story must not be missed. | PS4 |
Game Informer - Jeff Cork | 93 ~ 9.3 / 10 | Yakuza 6 delivers both quality and quantity, so saying goodbye to Kiryu doesn't feel rushed. | PS4 |
Hobby Consolas - Hobby Consolas | 93 ~ 93 / 100 | We love Yakuza's story, its locations that seem "alive" and its many minigames (including classic Sega arcades such as Puyo Puyo, Virtua Fighter 5 or Super Hang On). The song of Life is the perfect ending for this saga. | PS4 |
VGProfessional - Nazih Fares | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | The most beautiful experience in the series, YAKUZA 6: The Song of Life is great way to close the Kiryu's story in style, with a fun and long adventure, full of content and side activities. Even if you didn't play the previous games, you shouldn't miss this goofy yet also mature and serious game. | PS4 |
GamingBolt - Pramath | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Debates about whether or not Yakuza 6 is the best game in the franchise will probably rage on for a long time to come- but if nothing else, The Song of Life represents a franchise, a developer, and most of all, a character, at the peak of their talents. | PS4 |
PlayStation LifeStyle - Tyler Treese | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | While it's slightly disappointing to see so many members of Yakuza‘s great ensemble cast take a back seat in Yakuza 6, it ultimately works out for the best. Song of Life is Kiryu's story and focusing on something larger would only be a disservice to one of gaming's most fully realized characters. It's only fitting that he bows out in Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's most mature and focused game. | PS4 |
Hardcore Gamer - Jordan Helm | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 | Aside from the most nitpicking of complaints, Yakuza 6 is but another declaration to the well-documented notion that Sega's decade-long series remains one of the finest, most consistent outings in the medium. | PS4 |
EGM - Mollie L Patterson | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | It's taken me a long time to experience the Yakuza series, but Yakuza 6 makes me so thankful that I finally have. The insurmountable badass Kazuma Kiryu is surrounded by a fantastic cast of characters and some gripping drama—it's just a shame that the "game" portion of this video game isn't quite what it could be. Still, this is a superb adventure from beginning to end, and further proof of the magic that Japanese developers can weave when they put their minds to it. | PS4 |
Game Revolution - Jason Faulkner | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | If you've played Yakuza in the past, I think you'll get a tremendous amount of enjoyment out of this game. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and grab Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami and play through both of them, then grab Yakuza 6 when it comes out. | PS4 |
Gameblog - Rudy Jean-François - French | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | We could not have thought of a better way to end Kiryu Kazuma's adventures. More than a simple GTA clone, Yakuza 6 is a generous game which will provide you with hundred hours of an amazing gaming experience. You will never be bored with the never ending amount of content available in this game. Moreover, Japanese culture enthusiasts will have a great time hanging out in a very well modelized versions of Hiroshima and Kabukicho. A must have! | PS4 |
GameMAG - xtr - Russian | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Yakuza 6: Song of Life is a very deep and exciting game with a great sense of humor and strange, but fun side quests. Fans for sure won't be disappointed. | PS4 |
TrustedReviews - Jordan King | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is a wonderful crime thriller that embraces everything that made the series great, refining it further with new technology – it blew me away. I’m not ashamed to say that the closing minutes of Kazuma Kiryu’s final chapter brought me to tears, acting as the culmination of a story in which I’ve lost myself for more than a decade. Don’t let this legacy dissuade you, though. Yakuza 6 is perfectly suited for newcomers thanks to its excellent reminisce feature alongside combat and exploration that’s easily the series’ best yet. Combine this with a deep, engaging story and Yakuza 6 offers an experience I can’t recommend enough. | PS4 |
Push Square - Robert Ramsey | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life tells a truly gripping tale – a story that blows most games out of the water. Combine that with a refined combat system and a new engine capable of making the game's world feel more alive than ever, and you've got a stellar Yakuza title. Although the experience does feel a little stunted in places outside of the main plot, this is still a fitting final chapter. Yakuza 6 is a gloriously dramatic send off for one of the greatest characters in modern gaming. | PS4 |
Gamers Heroes - Captain Camper | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life builds on every asset of the franchise, and improves it without sacrificing the games character and individuality. Whether you’re a first-time player or a long-time veteran, Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is arguably the greatest Yakuza game to date. | PS4 |
GamesRadar+ - Alex Avard | 90 ~ 4.5 / 5 stars | A touching finale for Kazuma Kiryu, Yakuza 6 manages to surprise and delight in equal measure. | PS4 |
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | All in all, thanks to its fantastic story, memorable cast, and more than competent gameplay, Yakuza 6 is an apt send off for the hero of one of the more criminally underrated franchises. | PS4 |
GearNuke - Khurram Imtiaz | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is a good example of how to handle a series with multiple sequels. It builds on its strength to offer a satisfying conclusion to the story of Kazuma Kiryu. | PS4 |
God is a Geek - Chris White | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is a fitting end to a great saga, with fantastic combat and lots to do outside the main story | PS4 |
Backlog Critic - Jonathan Lightwood | 90 ~ 9 / 10 | Sega have crafted an experience that rarely falters, whether in regards to its story, its characters or its gameplay. This isn’t just a brilliant Yakuza game. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is a superb game in its own right, and may very well be an early contender for the best of 2018. | PS4 |
Quillstreak - Jordan Oloman | 89 ~ 89 / 100 | Overall, Yakuza 6: The Song Of Life is a feature-length absurdity-laden romp that is the perfect silly antidote for first-timers and a pleasing development of the series for fans. With a multitude of systems, meaningful progression and side quests to fill your boots with, you will struggle to get bored and always find yourself craving your next knockout fix. | PS4 |
Gaming Nexus - Eric Hauter | 88 ~ 8.8 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life wraps up the story of Kazuma Kiryu with the same sense of style and attention to quality the series has always maintained. By alternating erratically between deadly serious crime stories, and wildly goofball side activities, Yakuza strikes an entertaining sweet spot that few other series manage. Players should set aside a lot of time before engaging with Yakuza, because like the mob, this is a game that will keep pulling you back in. | PS4 |
Gaming Gamma - Gaming Gamma | 88 ~ 8.8 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is easily the most immersive video game I have ever played, and is just a lot of fun. The amount of times I couldn't help but smile while playing this game is a testament to the fact of how much I enjoyed myself. While the game does has its flaws, SEGA has once again delivered a fantastic game that is easily one of the best games currently out this year. | PS4 |
DualShockers - Giuseppe Nelva | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Ultimately, it's a great sendoff for one of the best characters of the history of Japanese games (and of gaming as a whole), and while Kazuma Kiryu isn't going to disappear due to the upcoming remake, I can definitely say that I'm going to miss my stern and stoic best friend with a heart of gold. | PS4 |
Polygon - Jeffrey Parkin | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Even with my criticisms of the admittedly optional and inconsequential aspects of the game, Yakuza 6 succeeds because its core story is so compelling. | PS4 |
Easy Allies - Michael Huber | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is undeniably one of the best entries in the long-running series. Memorable side quests and engaging mini-games offer countless diversions and emotional encounters. The combat becomes routine, but the personal struggle of Kazuma Kiryu brings a satisfying and remarkable conclusion for the legendary Dragon of Dojima. Written | PS4 |
IGN Italy - Francesco Destri - Italian | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6 does not invent anything new compared to the past and the lack of many iconic characters of the saga shouldn't be understimated, but despite this the final chapter of Kazuma Kiryu's adventures remains one of the best Yakuza ever. | PS4 |
The Games Machine - Mirko Marangon - Italian | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | Like its predecessors, Yakuza 6 is a beautiful, engaging and deep title. Nonetheless, after seven main chapters, countless spin-offs, remastered versions and remakes, a slight whiff of deja vu is almost inescapable. Having said that, The Song of Life is a great conclusion for an unforgettable saga. | PS4 |
IGN Spain - Javi Andrés - Spanish | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | The Yakuza series is held again in its 3 main pillars in this The Song of Life: many activities and mini-games, deep combats, and a wonderful storytelling that ends the era of Kazuma Kyriu and it serves to draw the new horizon towards where Sega goes to. | PS4 |
GamingTrend - Patrick Rost | 85 ~ 85 / 100 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is a beautiful game, plays smooth, and has a story that is genuinely compelling and driven by top notch dialogue and dynamic characters. The fighting is complex but easy to learn, and the game provides tons of great content in the form of mini-games, town exploration, and side storylines. There is lots to look at and take in as you play, and the game packs a lot of good into a nearly flawless package. | PS4 |
RPG Fan - Robert Steinman | 85 ~ 85 / 100 | Yakuza 6 keeps the focus on what's important and also shows a lot of great potential for what's to come next. | PS4 |
Sirus Gaming - Gareth Newnham | 85 ~ 8.5 / 10 | It’s a new era for Yakuza, both in game and out. Yakuza 6; The Song of Life may not be the grandiose send-off that some fans may have wanted, but it’s a fitting conclusion to Kiryu’s story and thanks to the new engine one that not only makes old favourites feel new again but make me look forward to the future. | PS4 |
GBAtemp - Krista Noren | 83 ~ 8.3 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is a wonderful, heartfelt conclusion to Kiryu's story, offering a hilariously fun and unique experience for both long-time fans and newcomers. While this isn't the best entry in the series, it's still an incredibly solid title that anyone with a PlayStation 4 should pick up. | PS4 |
COGconnected - Patrick Anderson | 82 ~ 82 / 100 | This may be the Dragon of Dojima’s last kick at the franchise, but he leaves on a high note that will satisfy the yakuza in all of us. | PS4 |
Worth Playing - Chris "Atom" DeAngelus | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is a solid entry in the franchise. It's carried by a strong story and excellent visuals that make up for the fact that it's a fairly bare-bones Yakuza title that has less content than other titles in the series. Fans of the franchise should find a lot to like in Yakuza 6. It's not the best entry for a newcomer due to it being the end of Kiryu's story, but it's a solid and enjoyable game. | PS4 |
USgamer - Mike Williams | 80 ~ 4 / 5 stars | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life might be the end of Kazuma Kiryu's story, but it represents a new step in the series. | PS4 |
GameSpot - Edmond Tran | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Exciting changes to combat and an endearing narrative see the final chapter in Kazuma Kiryu's decade-long saga refine what has made the series great. | PS4 |
Gameplanet - Ben Wilson | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Yakuza 6 delivers the series' signature poignant story, and is probably the best Yakuza has been narrative and production-wise. However, the game's trademark diversions have been trimmed back. | PS4 |
RPG Site - Kazuma Hashimoto | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | In the end, I found my experience with Yakuza 6: The Song of Life to be incredibly satisfying when everything came together. The final chapter in the story of the Dragon of Dojima was a compelling experience and remained just that even a year after the original release. Yakuza 6: The Song of Life has an incredibly bittersweet ending, and the narrative twists and turns that brought me there, left me feeling satisfied with the close of Kazuma Kiryu’s story. | PS4 |
The Game Fanatics - Tyler Chancey | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life has a formula that works and sticks to it. The main adventure can be completed in about twenty hours. Both Kamurocho and Onomichi pulls you in with such distinct and eye-catching content. And while the developers go right up to the line with it, how they treat Kazuma Kiryu’s departure from the series is treated with just enough ceremony and dignity to be an event for fans that stuck with him since the beginning. If you can groove on a game that takes its time with cutscenes and characters, ignore some subpar visuals in some spots, and have a love for gangland crime thrillers mixed with high-octane martial arts madness, this is the game for you. | PS4 |
Spaziogames - Jgor Masera - Italian | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | The story, contents and gameplay are unquestionably of a good standard, but it was not what we wanted from the final game of Kiryu Kazuma, who we were so fond of during these 12 years. | PS4 |
Rice Digital - Opale | 80 ~ 4 / 5 stars | Overall, this sixth episode is a nice conclusion for Kiryu storywise, but I felt many things were lacking in gameplay compared to Yakuza 0: lifeless face expressions, less variety of combos and fighting styles, fewer mini-games, and so on. On the other hand, seamless battles and exploration are welcome changes in the series. | PS4 |
Guardian - Chris Schilling | 80 ~ 4 / 5 stars | Kazuma Kiryu's final outing is an emotionally charged tale of familial bonds and the violence that threatens to rip them asunder. | PS4 |
VideoGamer - Colm Ahern | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Fighting and exploring is more free than ever, and the story, while wanting in certain areas, introduces a few great characters. Some activities and side missions lack a punch, but how many games do you get to wear a giant orange on your head? | PS4 |
Cerealkillerz - Daniel Schwab - German | 80 ~ 8 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life convinces with excellent storytelling while staying true to the Yakuza-formula which worked well in the past. While repetitive combat prevents it from being one of the greats, it is still a definite recommendation for action-adventure fans and players who enjoyed the previous titles in the franchise. | PS4 |
GamesBeat - Stephanie Chan | 75 ~ 75 / 100 | Yakuza 6 has an ambitious narrative, alternating between lighthearted and dramatic. Unfortunately, it doesn't give its characters enough love and care to truly pull off the pathos. But its sense of humor is impeccable. Its protagonist is lovable. And Sega has created a world with plenty to do. | PS4 |
TechRaptor - Georgina Young | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6 is a great game because it's a Yakuza game, but it's not a great Yakuza game. It still has the great brawler action the series is known for, and a tight put together story. However, the tightening of the narrative in no ways makes up for all the great things I missed out on from the previous game. | PS4 |
IGN - Tristan Ogilvie | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life presents the most detailed virtual chunk of Japan the series has managed to date, and its story provides a satisfying end to the Kizama Kiryu saga. However, as far as gameplay goes, Yakuza 6 doesn't make enough of an effort to break new ground, making it weaker overall than last year's Yakuza Zero. | PS4 |
Stevivor - Matt Gosper | 75 ~ 7.5 / 10 | All in all, this is a Yakuza game – and while that may seem like a trueism, it holds up. | PS4 |
Attack of the Fanboy - Jelani James | 70 ~ 3.5 / 5 stars | Yakuza 6: The Song of Life brings a satisfying end to Kazuma Kiryu's story, but it's not quite the send off I expected. Between its convoluted systems and cut content, it didn't feel like the saga ended with a roar, but with a whimper. | PS4 |
Destructoid - Peter Glagowski | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | Given more development time, this could have been the definitive entry in the series, but what we're left with is good enough. Hopefully Kiwami 2 can make some necessary improvements, because the groundwork set by the Dragon Engine is just awesome. | PS4 |
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral | 70 ~ 7 / 10 | A slightly underwhelming end to the legend of Kazuma Kiryu, but the changes in gameplay and graphics do hold a lot of promise for the future. | PS4 |
Slant Magazine - Steven Scaife | 60 ~ 6 / 10 | Yakuza 6 isn't just billed as running on a new engine; it's also meant to be Kiryu's last starring role. Sega is clearly trying to capitalize on last year's newcomer-friendly prequel and remake to sell this newest installment, hoping that the franchise will get a serious foothold in the West. In many ways, the game is a transition. But despite maintaining the endearing parts of the franchise that make it so refreshing amid a glut of solipsistic sandboxes, Yakuza 6's many concessions show that it isn't an entirely comfortable one. | PS4 |
Yakuza Kiwami is a 2016 action-adventure game developed by Sega for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. It is a remake of Yakuza, the first video game in the Yakuza series. Similarly to Yakuza 0, the prequel installment before it, Yakuza Kiwami was released exclusively on PlayStation 4 in Europe and North America in August 2017. A Kiwami remake of Yakuza 2 is set for a Japanese release in December 2017.PS4 Trailer
Yakuza Kiwami represents the pinnacle of the series, with Sega bringing everything it has learned over the years and refining it into a single neat package. The result is a unique and unforgettable experience that far outstrips what was presented in the original entry.
Yakuza Kiwami is a great way to introduce anyone to the world of the Yakuza franchise
Even if it can't quite measure up to Yakuza 0's near-perfection, Yakuza Kiwami is still a thoroughly enjoyable experience for series veterans and newcomers alike.
An absurdly good game. The story, the world, the characters, and the distractions all add up to one thing: immersion. This is the type of game to invest tons of time in, and for those new to the franchise, it's all the better because there are so many other Yakuza titles waiting to be played! For returning fans, Yakuza: Kiwami gives the inaugural game new life. It's been long enough removed from the original release to feel special again, and, even better, it is released at a budget price. In fact, it's a shame that only the first title has received this remaster, but with some "big announcements" coming this month, hopefully, the others in the series will see similar rereleases on PlayStation 4. Until then, dig out those PlayStation 2s and 3s and get cracking on the rest of Kiryu's story. There may just be time to catch up before Yakuza 6 - billed the finale of Kiryu's story - arrives next March in the West.
Really, you can't go wrong with Kiwami. I would have liked it if every aspect of the game had been fully redone, but we don't see remakes like this come along often. I can deal with a few stumbling blocks when the core quality of what makes Yakuza so unique and engaging remains untouched. At least now more people can have a chance to experience this classic, which is the best thing about Kiwami's existence.
SEGA's ... given us all something completely modern and "new" to play, and the entire Yakuza series continues to go from strength to strength.
Yakuza returns to its roots with this pitch-perfect remake of the series’ debut title, brought kicking-and-punching into 2017 with a total facelift and a raft of new content
Until then, I will keep my fingers crossed, because the only thing better than a fantastic remake of a beloved game, is two fantastic remakes of two beloved games. Yet, whether the sequel will come or not, Yakuza Kiwami will go down in history as one of the best remakes ever created, for a game that was already great on PS2.
Yakuza Kiwami manages to be a great value for money purchase. A solid narrative, fantastic combat, and a plethora of activities to partake in make it an easy recommendation for long-time fans and newbies alike.
Yakuza Kiwami is a sprawling adventure, but – as enhanced as it is – it's clearly a foundational entry in the series
I enjoyed my time with Kiwami despite its flaws. The story kept me up for hours on end, the sub-stories were interesting with hilarious characters and great writing, and the combat felt incredible to master by the end. It can't be ignored that they had a chance to massively improve the story, but chose to just try and maintain the status quo, but the package is fantastic nonetheless
Lovingly overwork of a classic with chic technique, but also a few minor flaws.
I certainly did enjoy Yakuza: Kiwami as my first visit of the franchise and look forward to hopefully playing more down the road.
This newcomer thinks that Yakuza Kiwami is a blast. I can't speak to how different it is from the first game, but the sheer amount of content and personality makes it worth checking out. Though the fights could get repetitive at times, the combat system kept things interesting on the whole.
Yakuza Kiwami picks up where Yakuza Zero left off, upholding its dramatic storytelling, offbeat humor, and flashy yet frustrating combat.
Yakuza Kiwami honestly rides on the thin line between remake and reimagining of a classic game. It keeps all of the original story beats and brings the games visuals into the modern-day while incorporating a lot of the newer games mechanics without hampering the original games integrity. This game is honestly the best way to experience the original Yakuza.
For fans of the series, the game is like a loveletter, taking Kiryu's first story, and reimagining it with modern sensibilities. For newcomers, this game represents the best place to jump in- it's a far better product than Yakuza 0, which was great in and of itself to begin with.
The story is addictive and keeps you at the edge of the seat. The general exploration and content is a step back from Yakuza 0 but the game is still a blast to play if you interested in more Yakuza games.
The start was always the best, and this extreme edition is a reminder of how fantastic this series has always been.
Yakuza Kiwami remakes the original game in a near-perfect way.
Twelve years after its original release on PS2, Yakuza Kiwami is still a great adventure set in modern Japan. Some mechanics such as invisible walls or certain fighting elements feel outdated, but the story, setting and minigames are awesome.
Yakuza Kiwami makes great strides in updating the classic original Yakuza game to modern standards. But while it adds better combat, bizarrely charming side quests, and a gorgeous graphical revamp, it also ignores some of the original's biggest problems in pacing and storytelling. And because of its relatively short length, Yakuza Kiwami's fun trip through the tangled web of Japan's criminal underground feels like a prelude to something bigger and better to come.
Some signs of aging are inevitable counting the 12 years from the original game, but nowadays few remakes are well done like Yakuza Kiwami.
Yakuza Kiwami is the perfect game for those who never played a Yakuza before. The new graphics and control are a nice way to enter in the life o Kiryu.
Yakuza Kiwami is a polished and exceptionally fun game with a fantastic and moving storyline.
For those itching to spend more time with Kazuma Kiryu following Yakuza 0, Kiwami is exactly what you’ve been waiting for and an essential purchase. If you happen to be looking to start the series, it’s hard to recommend Yakuza Kiwami over its immediate predecessor.
As a remake, Kiwami is a triumphant success. Not only is it leaps and bounds more playable than the PS2 original, the additional scenes help flesh out character motivations. This all makes the story of Kiryu's rise feel more special, and it's a perfect continuation for those who recently played Yakuza 0. There are some disappointments, though, as just roaming around Kamurocho feels like a step backwards from previous games that featured multiple cities to explore, but that's just an unfortunate side-effect of being a remake of a much-less ambitious title. The new bells and whistles make Yakuza Kiwami a worthwhile time no matter if you've played the original or not.
Simultaneously a great introduction to the Yakuza series and one of its better entries, Yakuza Kiwami is precisely how you remake a classic.
Yakuza Kiwami makes it clear just how far the series has come, and just how far it still has to go. It's keenly designed to bring newly minted Yakuza fans more firmly into the fold by providing all the contemporary comforts they might expect, while also giving longtime fans more to chew on than a shot-for-shot remake ever would have. It's a patchwork, for better and for worse, and as much as I enjoyed my time with it, there's no denying that some of those patches are looking more tired than others.
Yakuza Kiwami finds itself in a strange position. A remake that's technically a sequel to a much better game in Yakuza 0, it struggles to offer anything besides another engaging crime-drama storyline. Best described as a kind of expansion, Kiwami really shows its age in terms of narrative structure and gameplay design, but it's still worth playing through if you just can't get enough of Kaz. It goes without saying, however, that series newcomers are much better off starting with the far superior Yakuza 0.
The way Kiwami weaves itself into a symbiotic relationship with 0 enhances the pair as a sequential experience.
A fantastic jumping on point for newcomers and appealing to long time fans as well. Prepare for a night on the town with Kamurocho's finest.
If you are a fan of the series or not, Yakuza Kiwami is a title that you must play to (re)discover the origins of Kazuma Kiryu: the legendary Dragon of Dojima.
A concise and emotional story that cuts out the filler and perfectly mixes in varied and interesting combat. At its core, Yakuza Kiwami is still a PlayStation 2 game, but its short and sweet nature doesn't hold it back in the long run.
This is what a remake should be.
Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the original Yakuza game, which was released on Playstation 2 nearly 12 years ago, but it may as well be regarded as its own entity. Yakuza Kiwami is a fully done remake – with all new textures, extended stories, and more depth and cohesion than the original Yakuza could have dreamed of – so it’s not to be confused with a general remaster (cough Sleeping Dogs *cough).
Yakuza Kiwami is a dazzling remake of an underappreciated classic, improving upon its source material in so many important ways. At times it can feel dated, but that doesn't stop Kiwami from proving Yakuza is once again one of the best things on PS4, and perhaps any other platform.
Kiwami holds a ton of appeal for anyone coming hot off of Yakuza Zero, but there's ample reason for longtime fans to jump in, and it's even a fine starting point for new players as well. Despite the slow starting hours, once Kiwami and Kazuma Kiryu grab hold of your attention, they don't easily let go.
Sega remastered the original Yakuza in high style. Using an updated engine, the team behind the series added new character models, re-recorded voice acting, and an expanded city of Kamurocho, all in 1080p at 60 fps. Yakuza Kiwami bleeds love for the original game. If you haven't played any Yakuza, this is the release to get. If you have, this is a great remaster of a former cult-favorite. It's not as full-featured as current Yakuza release, but it's still a great time.
Slip into your suit and ready your fists: Yakuza Kiwami is a fantastic remaster of the game that spawned a franchise, and a timely dose of wackiness before Yakuza 6 drops next year.
I just finished fighting Majima for the first time and the entire fight felt like a messy slap-fight. Between this, Kiwami, and 0, I think this is the least I've ever enjoyed combat in a Yakuza game in some time. I don't like how enemies can randomly just block your attack in the middle of you hitting them and it feels like it happens super often in this game. On top of that, your attacks Yakuza Kiwami 2 ReviewWhen Sega pulled off the spectacular hit in yakuza 0 a few years back, not only did it hugely surprise me in terms of its greatness and content, but it also managed to The Same Flaws That Hampered the First Title, Hamper Kiwami 2. But Its an Awesome Entry in the Series. Since I started playing the Ryu ga Gotoku/Yakuza series in 2012, I have pre-ordered every title in the series, upon Japanese release: Kiwami 2 has been my least anticipated title in the series since then, by far, even though for the fans on a whole, this game was highly anticipated. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a fantastic sequel and a game worthy of the Yakuza title. It improves on almost every aspect of the original, creating a much more immersive version of Kamurocho and deepening the already compelling relationships between the recurring characters. It also has a better villain and more engaging side quests. Yakuza Kiwami 2 Review. Back in 2006, Yakuza 2 was the ideal video game sequel.
