Kiwami is a remake of the original 2005 Yakuza PS2 game, but the combat is about the same as in Yakuza Zero as well as new side quests that are continuations of side stories from Zero. A lot was added in this remake, but the main story and events of the original game are present, so even if you haven’t played Zero this is a great game to play if you have no experience with the series. Yakuza has received attention for crazy scenarios, but the main story is somewhat tame compared to other entries. The main story is about 15-20 hours, but there’s so much to do in the small open world (small by today’s standards). This open world is one of the most detailed and fleshed out in the medium and it refuses to let you get bored with its variety and randomness. The combat can still get somewhat repetitive, and the story isn’t as great as Zero, but the main character Kiryu, the new “Majima Everywhere” system, and the Japanese open world make up for those small gripes and this game is easily worth $20.
