4.5/5 ★ – Cyrus's review of Yakuza Kiwami 2.

I really liked this one. The antagonist was great throughout and I liked how they handled it in the end after the usual Yakuza twist festival in the last hour. The romance angle was surprising, but worked for me because it felt like it happened naturally and was not forced through the plot. But the highlights were the side stories, of course! I laughed so often: The amnesia head hunter, the model gig, the whole Yakuza movie thing. So many great timed jokes that really had me laughing out loud. The only side stories I didn't like were the mini games. I really don't care about the hostess ones, even in the games before and the tactics one for Majima felt bare bones. But I can live with skipping them. Can't wait to go on with the series!
