About Yakuza Kiwami 2
About this game
Kazuma Kiryu thought his Tojo Clan days were behind him. He and the young girl in his care, Haruka Sawamura, have built a peaceful life from the ashes of conflict. All it took was a single gunshot to shatter that peace. Yukio Terada, the Fifth Chairman of the Tojo Clan, has been assassinated. With war on the horizon, the legendary Dragon of Dojima is pulled back into the world he wanted to leave behind.
Kiryu must travel to Sotenbori, Osaka in an attempt to broker peace between the rival clans, but Ryuji Goda, known as the Dragon of Kansai, will stop at nothing to get his war. In this world, there can only be one dragon.

80 / 100"The tale of Tokyo and Osaka, Kiryu and Sayama's partnership, and Kiryu and Goda's rivalry remains one of the Yakuza's best stories, and Kiwami 2's minor missteps don't affect...
PC Gamer
88 / 100"A triumphant remake of Yakuza 2, full of fun diversions and featuring one of the series' best stories."

90 / 100"Sega’s original sequel has received the remake it’s due. The story fumbles in places, but its high points allow it to sit next to Yakuza 0 as the best the series has to offer."

Yakuza Kiwami 2 made me buy an expensive new graphics card... and it was still no match for the graphics of this game. No, but the aliasing in this engine is a pain, mainly due to the lack of TAA. To make it go you'd need to play this game in 4K with the downside of poor framerates, but it's one of the most gorgeous looking games ever, no exaggeration. In terms of gameplay, coming right from Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza 0 (never played the originals), it was a bit of a shock. Besides the graphics, the gameplay, fighting and physics are all based on the new Yakuza 6 engine, aptly called Dragon Engine, and it's a bit of a getting used to situation, but once you're up to speed it's Yakuza as usual. It's a kickass game and that's despite all of it's flaws, it deserves five stars no less. It's not a game that will age badly anytime soon. Honestly, I can't get enough of this series, I love what they've done with the Kiwami remakes and the Judgment spin-offs and I can't recommend them enough.

I’m new to the franchise and am playing the games chronologically—being a remake of an older game, the storytelling holds up well and I really enjoyed it. The environment feels much more immersive with the addition of small but thoughtful details (even as simple as being able to open doors or the seamless transitions between battle and exploration).
My major gripe is the optimization. For the first few hours of playtime, the game was pretty laggy and would freeze. I tinkered a bit with the settings (admittedly I didn’t know what I was doing) and it got smoother for the rest of my playthrough. I was also playing using a Switch Pro controller and the game didn’t come with the proper button mapping; buttons displayed were for DS controllers and was frustrating at times. Weird because I didn’t have this issue for 0 and Kiwami, nor 3 which I’m playing right now. Nonetheless, I was really invested in the story which overshadowed my complaints.
