While 6 had some performance and visual issues, I’m glad to see the team has nailed the visuals and performance here.
YAKUZA KIWAMI MAJIMA ROLL TOGETHER FULL
The difference is Kiwami 2 is a full remake in the stunning new Dragon Engine built for PS4 and Yakuza 6 and not a cross generation one that we saw in 0 and Kiwami. Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a full remake of the PlayStation 2 entry that followed the original Yakuza that saw its own remake in the form of Yakuza Kiwami last year on PS4. I wrote about my initial impressions of the first four chapters here and having completed the game and spent a good amount of time exploring and doing extra side content, I can safely say that this is a game of the year contender.

Fast forward to today and Yakuza Kiwami 2 is nearly available to everyone on PS4 and this is everything I’ve wanted in a Yakuza game since 0 blew me away. Yakuza 0 is one of the best games this generation and the subsequent two releases in the form of Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 6 have been excellent but the magic from 0 was missing.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the fourth Yakuza game we are seeing on PS4 after what felt like a period where the franchise had no future in the West.
