When I reviewed Yakuza 0 earlier this year, one of the aspects I praised most was its combat. It’s quite a step up in presentation from the PS2-era original. The script has been tweaked a bit and the voice acting has been re-recorded and the game is all the better for it.
YAKUZA KIWAMI MAJIMA EVERYWHERE CHECK THIS OUT FULL
Make no mistake, though: this is a full remake and not simply a port with a higher resolution. The core plot is mostly the same and the way the cutscenes are framed mirrors the original Yakuza almost shot for shot. Knowledge of what happened in the prequel Yakuza 0 isn’t required to enjoy this one.īeing a remake, Yakuza Kiwami will be familiar to anyone that played the original release. If you are new to the franchise, then Yakuza Kiwami is a fantastic jumping on point. To be more specific on plot details would be to the detriment of anyone looking to play the game for themselves. Kiryu spends ten years in prison, and in that time a lot has changed in the criminal underworld of Kamurocho. Thing is, Kiryu didn’t actually murder anyone, and he’s secretly covering for his best friend Akira Nishikiyama, who really committed the crime in a blind fit of rage. In the opening chapter, however, Kiryu is arrested for the murder of a high-ranking official within the Tojo Clan. It follows the story of Kiryu Kazuma a young yakuza that’s on the cusp of moving well up within the ranks of the organized crime syndicate. Yakuza Kiwami is a crime drama filled with deceit, jealousy, and family. Whichever camp you may be part of, Kiwami delivers the goods. It sort of walks a delicate tightrope of appealing to long-time fans while also being a jumping on point for newcomers to the series. Which brings us to Yakuza Kiwami, a remake of Yakuza 1 and a follow-up to Yakuza 0. Yakuza 0 was an absolute treasure and deserves to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best 2017 has to offer in terms of game releases. Earlier this year, Sega began its initiative to bring several key entries in the Yakuza franchise to the west that previously hadn’t been localized.
