By the time the credits had rolled on Yakuza Kiwami 2 I’d uncovered a plot to detonate a series of explosives around Tokyo, climbed my way through the ranks of an underground fight club buried in the bowels of a construction site, and partnered with a number of businesses in Osaka in an effort to boost my burgeoning cabaret club management career. I’d also beaten up a baby nursery full of full grown men clad in diapers, struck flirtatious poses for a snap-happy photographer who was wearing nothing but a Speedo and a smile, and drank can after can of vending machine coffee in order to make my bladder full enough to beat the high score in the interactive urinal-based minigame.
Yes, Yakuza Kiwami 2 adheres to the established series recipe that takes a meaty slab of brutality and bastes it with silly sauce, and with an enhanced version of the Dragon Engine from Yakuza 6 under the hood, it delivers an experience overall that’s second only to Yakuza 0, at least since the series hit the PlayStation 4.
As far as remakes go, Yakuza Kiwami 2 is a more significant step up up from Yakuza 2 than 2017’s Yakuza Kiwami was from the original. Not only does the Dragon Engine allow for Kamarucho and Sotonbori locales that more closely match to their real-life Tokyo and Osaka inspirations, but it enables Yakuza Kiwami 2 to incorporate other valuable quality-of-life enhancements introduced in Yakuza 6 such as seamless transitions between interiors and exteriors, and in and out of combat encounters, which keeps the action enjoyably free-flowing.
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 ...
