Coming from Yakuza 0...
...Kiwami has been a disappointment. I have seen some people argue that judging Kiwami as a modern game is unfair, since it is essentially a remaster of the original "Yakuza" from 2005, and that it should be judged by the standards of that time. However, I don't agree with that. The game was released in 2016, so it is entirely reasonable to judge it by the standards of that year. It's not like the developers didn't have the option to remake the game from the ground up, including altering the story where needed to address plot holes, improve pacing, etc. With that out of the way... => Story Compared to 0, the story is a lot more straightforward, and with few twists the story is a lot more predictable. Playing through the main story, I found many plot holes, and general issues with the writing, such as... -After Kiryu hadn't fought anyone for a while, he notices his abilities have weakened significantly, yet he shortly after picks a fight with a large group of goons as if he was still at full strength -A guy drank himself into unconsciousness, but literally a few minutes later, he follows after Kiryu as if he hadn't even touched alcohol that evening (and no, he was not faking it) -An armed guy with many armed guards have their guns pointed at Kiryu, but instead of just pulling the trigger, the main guy just waves his gun around and gives a speech about how and why he wants to kill Kiryu Also, the game is ~20 hours long, but most of the (back)story is told in the final ~2. Seems like the writers ran out of time. => Combat I'm a approaching GOG's character limit, so briefly: Having finished 0 on Normal difficulty, I initially selected the same in Kiwami, but the bosses are so insanely spongy that I dropped it down to Easy after only a few hours (a very good decision)... The boss fights weren't difficult on Normal, but rather felt really drawn out, as bosses seemed to have double the health that they should have.
