SEGA Yakuza Kiwami - PlayStation 4 Steelbook Edition

Please note I have never played the original Yakuza 1. Yakuza 0 for the PS4 was my first Yakuza game, but I was aware of the yakuza series for a while now just never got to play it until now. I didn't had the experience of playing any of the yakusa games that was released on the PS2 and PS3, kind of wished I did now. That being said, I feel in love with this series already because of Yakuza 0. As one review already said, this feels like an extension to Yakuza 0 because they bring the fighting styles from Yakuza 0 and added the new style dragon, but with an XP system progression rather than buying your skills in Yakuza 0. They also bring back many of the mini games from Yakuza 0 like pocket racing and arcade machines, as well as brand new ones. Gosh I love this series. Story in Yakuza 0 was amazing, same for this game but for the sake of not spoiling anything... I won't really bother to give a summary of the game... but yakuza is all about over the top stories with tons of drama, betrayal, love, and Yakuza... all that good stuff. I can't really compare how this looked to the original Yakuza 1, since I never played it. All in all, I'm pretty sure you already read most of the reviews here already.... so stop reading and start buying. Can't wait for Sega to release the remaster of Yakuza 2 as well as 3-5!!!

Never heard of the Yakuza series and decent to jump on the game blind. Good plot with good character development and rpg element, if you are a fan of japanese culture and like button smash brawler gameplay, then this game is for you.

Très bonne édition steelbook du remake de Yakuza premier du nom. Les ajouts sont excellents et c est avec plaisir qu on retrouve de multiples clins d oeil à l univers du Préquel Yakuza 0. Sega de retour au top avec cette saga.

This game is a MASTERPIECE. I played a digital only version with a friend first, and simply had to buy this steelbook straight after. What you can't see on the picture is that what you have on the left there is a sleeve, what's on the right is the actual case - and the back of it has a beautiful dragon & koi design :) Best game series ever!!! I really hope we get to see Yakuza Kiwami 2 in the UK soon... Please, please SEGA! <3

english import play Yakuza zero before kiwami. i wish if others games could have english sub/japanese dub options. Buy separated and waiting english release takes soo much time
