Yakuza Kiwami 2

this game is so relistic its really feels like kiryu is inside of me

As is expected of this series, the game delivers a fantastic heavy story balanced by its many more light-hearted substories. But... The first thing that kinda nudged me in the wrong direction was the change to combat. You no longer have access to the 4 diverse fighting styles - you now only use 1, which is slow, wonky, and kind of unsatisfying (bar all the possible heat actions.) The worst offender though is the horrid state of the port. Besides many minigames and combat (mostly heat action prompts) being broken due to not being adjusted to running above 30FPS, trying to lock frames it won't only make the game look worse but it would also somehow reduce it by another 5, which is ridiculous. (I also experienced getting stuck in the ordinary 3rd person view whilst a dialogue scene was playing out more than once, but that's probably just my luck again...) If not for the great storytelling and the amazing Kiryu-Majima dynamic (of which sadly don't expect as much as the first), I'd give the game a lower rating. But it is still a memorable experience - for better or worse.

five star game

Lots of the same things in in towns across the series but somehow never gets old, Story is always different even if the surroundings are familiar. If you are a completionist there is over 100hrs in every game.
