Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)

Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of Yakuza, originally released on the Playstation 2 in 2005. This version of the game is a grounds up remake, featuring new graphics, dialogue, added content and loads more. It was originally released in Japan on Playstation 3 and 4 in 2016, eventually making it over to western countries soon after. After playing through Yakuza 0, I felt a bit exhausted and completely done in with the series. But something caused an itch that needed scratched and I found myself back with Yakuza Kiwami. Not only did that exhaustion go, I found myself enjoying it considerably more. The game felt like a natural successor to Yakuza 0 but improving on things I didn't really like. The best example of that would be the over all pacing of the story (it's considerably shorter) and the fact that the upgrade system is back to being points based and not the awful money based system of Yakuza 0. Like all the other games, this one is full of so many mini games that you can be lost in here for weeks. You'll find the usual bowling games, the gambling den, the batting court, hostess clubs and so on. It's all more of the same, just with nicer graphics. As mentioned above, I much preferred this games story and pacing. It's considerably shorter and felt more focused as a result. I wasn't playing this one for the mini games and it made it roll by very quickly. Though, I did find myself hooked at times. The biggest change I think this game has is the Mojima Everywhere mini game. Throughout Yakuza Kiwami, our old pal Goro is hiding behind corners, dressing up as police officers, pole dancers etc to try force Kazuma into a fight. This means that you'll be jumped from behind a lot. To begin with, it can be a little frustrating. But the more you level up, the stronger Kaz becomes and the quicker you beat Goro into submission. It feels like a more brutal take on the Mr Shakedown events from Yakuza 0 but considerably more rewarding. As a game, it looks good and controls well. It feels no different from every other Yakuza game and will be an easy pick up and play for fans of the series. Those starting the series will be better off starting at Yakuza 0, as this one re-writes the original story to incorporate the prequel and continues the story. I've seen many people complain about this one compared to its predecessor, but I thought it was definitely worth picking up and is a fantastic game from start to finish. I preferred the faster pacing and the more basic story. A must have for the PS4!

great game arrived on time good graphics good story i personally preferred this and yakuza 0 out of the 5 and 6

El juego es un escándolo (de bueno) aunque hay que superar la barrera del idioma (viene en inglés). Aparte de eso, el precinto no es el original.

Bonsoir,j'ai bien reçus ma commande ce matin,le souçis c'est que ce jeu est sous titrés en anglais ainsi que la série des Yakuza en PS4,y'a que le Yakuza en PS2 est sous titré français il aurait plus faire un effort Séga.

Sie sollten vielleicht in der Beschreibung des Spiels erwähnen das das Spiel ausschließlich in Englisch zu spielen ist. Für mich kein Problem, aber wer kein Englisch kann ist aufgeschmissen

Yakuza Kiwami è un remake eccezionale del titolo originale, con una grafica migliorata e un gameplay raffinato che rendono l'esperienza ancora più coinvolgente. La trama segue Kazuma Kiryu, un giovane yakuza che si ritrova coinvolto in un intrigo di vendetta e redenzione. I personaggi sono ben sviluppati, e le missioni secondarie offrono momenti divertenti e toccanti. Le meccaniche di combattimento sono intuitive e appaganti, permettendo di eseguire combo spettacolari. Con una colonna sonora coinvolgente e un mondo aperto ricco di dettagli, Yakuza Kiwami è un must per i fan della serie e per chiunque ami storie profonde e avvincenti.

tutto ok
