Returning to Kamurocho, Kiryu must find a new chairman for the Tojo Clan and prevent an all-out war between the Tojo and the Omi, bringing him into conflict with Ryuji Goda, the legendary "Dragon Of Kansai" of the Omi Alliance.

I really enjoyed the game. I especially loved the characters in this game. I liked the story, presentation, and gameplay. However, the combatI really enjoyed the game. I especially loved the characters in this game. I liked the story, presentation, and gameplay. However, the combat was not difficult, similar to the other Yakuza games. You basically had infinite health when you had a lot of meds, which was not hard to get. Only some boss battles were very engaging. The easy combat was not a turn-off for me at all. In general, a very good experience.

Same engine as Kiwami and 0, different story and although its still a good game, I wasn't sold on Ryuji Goda as the main antagonist. Especially coming off the heels of Nishikiyama. The one super good thing about the Kiwami version is that they added a small Majima Saga, which expands on 3 chapters in between certain main chapters to delve deeper in the story. Although during the Majima Saga you can send Kiryu (yourself), money through a ATM machine, thats all you get to send/keep. There is no leveling up carried over and no weapons/items carried over. If you are familiar with the Yakuza series then the weapons and items are not a big deal at all, but, it would have been nice to carry over EXP to Kiryu. The Majima Saga story fills in nicely but tbh, if you do not have to fight, there is no point since its easy, simple, doesn't do anything to level up Majimo nor Kiryu, and the battle for Majima is the same as 0.

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 andThe 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 sucked. 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. One more thing before the fans of this game murder me, the fights with multiple enemies also suck. 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. other than that I can't really say much for the story as this is the first Yakuza game I've tried. I've heard that the plot is good so I won't give it less than a 4/10 but I won't see much of that story because I refuse to play any more of this game, the bad combat was funny at first but then it got annoying

Yakuza Kiwami 2 delivers a slick fresh coat of paint onto this Japanese epic tale, while keeping the same engaging and complex story that fans know and love. A memorable narrative, and some excellent dialogue and delivery make this a story that is worth playing, even for new entrants to the franchise. Meanwhile, while there are a few blotches on the graphical presentation of this remake, Tokyo has never looked so authentic in a game before, and the atmosphere built is second to none. There are some niggles with the camera, and the slightly outdated UI, however, the combat and mini-games are of a high standard, and keep things incredibly enjoyable throughout this extensive adventure.
