Yakuza Kiwami 2 Critic Reviews
View All (113 total)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 storyline is gripping, its weapons-heavy fighting system accommodates no shortage of spectacle, and it serves up plenty of enjoyable side activities – both mini and macro – to divert to or return for after the story wraps. Yakuza 0 may still be the high watermark for the series on the PS4, but Yakuza Kiwami 2 isn't too far behind.
Yakuza continues its good run with a fine - if a little lumpy - retread of a modern classic.
A triumphant remake of Yakuza 2, full of fun diversions and featuring one of the series' best stories.
