I just finished Yakuza Kiwami 2
Let me start off by just saying dang. This game was a good one. I would say it is on pretty much the same level as Yakuza Kiwami. The only major difference in terms of quality is the graphics. Yakuza Kiwami 2 runs on a newer game engine, so it has better physics, a more open world, and more modern (as of 2021) graphics.
Like any good Yakuza game, Kiwami 2's story has all kinds of twists and turns. There are a number of great characters new and familiar. The star and favorite of course is the protagonist and player character Kazuma Kiryu. He is still the moral compass and straight man of the goofy and dangerous Japan players explore and he is still extremely likable.
With the improved physics, the game's combat is much smoother. It does however feel much looser as more of the environments (actually anywhere) is accessible during the fights. The heat combat moves are unfortunately less exciting in Kiwami 2 than the previous two games for some reason. They are still good, but not as satisfying.
Another shining point in Kiwami 2 is its main "villain" Ryuji Goda. Like the baddies in Yakuza 0 he is very likeable. Unlike the baddies in Yakuza 0, he doesn't keep doing things to annoy the player. In fact, as the game went on I found myself respecting him more and more.
Kiwami 2 is an excellent game, anyone who is subscribed to GamePass needs to give this series a serious try. I don't think they will regret it.
