The editors liked
Kamurocho and Sotenbori feel more lifelike than ever
No load screens and seamless combat transitions
One of the strongest titles in the series
Fun combat
Engaging substories that can be just as engrossing as the main tale
Fantastic story and characters are enhanced by modernization
Straightforward but dynamic combat rarely gets stale
Vibrant and atmospheric world that's wonderful to lose yourself in
Cabaret Club Grand Prix and Majima Construction Creator are substantial
A more polished dragon engine
Yakuza staple of balancing the irrelevant and serious
Memorable antagonist and a story worth getting invested in
Twice the city
Twice the fun
Toylets
Gravure photo shoots
Cabaret clubs and more
Brand new playable Majima chapters
NJPW wrestlers guest star in the clan creator once again
Brawlerstyle combat still feels great and there's little to keep you from
Richly detailed and densely packed recreation of Japan
Deep and fun combat system
Strong characters that fit perfectly into an excellent gangster story
The editors didn't like
Story is weaker than the first two outings
Fewer fighting styles
Fewer meaningful upgrade options
Omissions like a small third area are missed
The section with Majima offers no character progression
And lacks any substories
Majima Saga is disappointingly shallow
Some holdover mechanics feel dated
Newly added Majima stories a bit underwhelming
The series is starting to hit diminishing returns for those that keep up on every release
Gravure shoots are too risque for enjoying in public or on stream
Encounter rate for random street fights feels a bit too high
Some highly questionable content that undermines much of the game's charm
Every encounter tends to get solved in the same way

A new antagonist and rippling implications of gang warfare once again drag Kazuma Kiryu back into the action. Between exploring Kamurocho and Sotenbori, ultimately players are going to find out that there's only room for one Dragon in Yakuza Kiwami 2...
Despite the fact that the made-for-PlayStation 4 Yakuza 6 was only released a few short months ago, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the best and most fully formed Yakuza game of 2018 even though it's a remake of a game that's now two console generations old. Its story...

Abstract: The Yakuza series on the PS4 is, at its heart, a story of family. It explores this theme through the narrative lens of the protagonist Kiryu Kazuma and the Sisyphean task of protecting the people that constitute various iterations of his family -- often f...
Richly detailed and densely packed recreation of Japan, Deep and fun combat system, Strong characters that fit perfectly into an excellent gangster story
Some highly questionable content that undermines much of the game's charm, Every encounter tends to get solved in the same way, A few ham-fisted story moments
A story of loyalty and honor, it is peerless in the crime fiction genre. The gameplay is so varied and exhaustive even if you tend to simply solve all your problems with your fists.There are some kinks to work out about how it deals with its more lascivio...

Ultimately Yakuza Kiwami 2 is more Yakuza. It's more of Kiryu and Kamurocho, more beating up random street ruffians and more plot twists. The latter aspect's a bit weaker this time around, but this being the third game to hit PC I imagine you already know...

Sega's original sequel has received the remake it's due. The story fumbles in places, but its high points allow it to sit next to Yakuza 0 as the best the series has to offer...
