4/5 ★ – Tye_Boy's review of Yakuza Kiwami 2.

From start to finish, Yakuza Kiwami 2 captivated me with its highly engaging narrative. Alongside that, it’s the best-looking game in the series that I’ve played thus far. It also has the strongest atmosphere, great music, a wonderfully seamless world, and fun, nearly perfectly balanced gameplay. I played on normal, and in my 19+ hour playtime, I did not die once. It was never overly easy, yet had a fair share of challenge. The side content is also amazing. As I slowly work my way through the rest of the Yakuza games, Kiwami 2 stands as a masterpiece in my eyes. And my favourite game in the series so far. On top of the main game, the Majima Saga is a short yet sweet addition. Had some moments that genuinely surprised me. Same can be said with the main game. I just really love this game.
