1/20/2024 0 Comments Game yakuza 2 pcIt feels like I’m in Japan, and although I am unsure what the actual Yakuza listens to, the background music seems very fitting indeed. One thing I definitely have to praise though is the sound design in Kiwami 2. By all means, it’s not a bad looking game, but in this day and age with Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and GTA V, Yakuza Kiwami 2 just falls flat when compared to those titles. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a remake of the 2006 Yakuza 2, and unfortunately, it feels a bit like just that, a 13-year-old game that has gotten minor updates. All things considered, there is a story to be done, but don’t expect a “story of the year.” Yakuza Kiwami 2 does, however, come with quite a lengthy explanation of what has happened before, during the prologue sequence. If you are into the Yakuza series or want to start playing it, I do suggest playing the first game first – which I didn’t. Then again, I am however terrible at remembering who’s who in Game of Thrones, so that might not say too much. It did take some time for me to get into the story, I must admit, and for my part, it got a bit confusing with different names, clans, and places. In addition, the new “Majima Saga” scenario comes exclusively to Kiwami 2 explaining how Majima came to leave the Tojo Clan following the death of his patron. Returning to Kamurocho, Kiryu must find a new chairman for the Tojo Clan and prevent a full-scale war between the Tojo and the Omi, bringing him into conflict with Ryuji Goda, the legendary “Dragon Of Kansai” of the Omi Alliance. There was only one thing to do – Asobi Hajimeru.Ī year after abandoning his former life in the Tojo Clan behind, Kazuma Kiryu is called back into action when the clan’s Fifth Chairman, Yukio Terada, is murdered by assassins from a rival organization, the Omi Alliance. However, I do like Japan, and as far as I knew Yakuza Kiwami 2 was sort of a GTA set in said country. I’m gonna be honest here, I have no experience with the Yakuza series (I have met the actual Yakuza when on a trip to Japan, but let’s not talk about that). other than that I can't really say much for the story as this is the first Yakuza game I've tried.Acquired: A copy of this game was provided by a publisher for review purpose imagine the blocking and dodging issues I had with the boss, but 5 times worse, at least the grunts don't have as much heath. One more thing before the fans of this game murder me, the fights with multiple enemies also ****. for one the blocking was unreliable due to the lack of a lock on, the dodging couldn't get me far away enough to evade most of his attacks, and you can't cancel attacks by blocking or dodging so half of your attacks would get ignored and he'd kick your ass. The combat in this game is laughably bad, the dodge goes nowhere and there isn't a lock on, I beat the first fight with the main bad guy and that's when I began to realize just how bad the combat system ****. Dive into the world of Yakuza and you'll know the richness of this series. For gameplay, it's pretty good but don't expect a flashy kind of action game. Just buy and play this game but just remember that RGG is known for their story and they are the best at it. The only game that does this besides Yakuza Series is only RDR2 in my opinion. There's no single character that feels like a filler. Every single characters (not NPC) in the game has a specific value on them. Most game feels like a chore or not engaging at all but with Yakuza, you are voluntarily doing it.Īnother thing that probably most gamer didn't notice is the perfection of the writer to make that dozen of characters in the game alive. Yakuza is the only game that able to make me curious, hook and interested in their side gameplay or activities. Along side some (or probably all) quirky and weird side quests that truly becoming the charm of the Yakuza series.Īnd once again, I had invested my time more on the cabaret and Majima Construction rather than progressing through the story. RGG never fails to deliver a meaningful and engaging story from start to end.
