This game will be great when it fully comes out but for now I wouldn't recommend it as the game is still in early access where it's plagued with bugs and such, there is also barely any story present as of now so wait off til the game fully releases.

Berry Guud Gaem,

Play Yakuza 0 before kiwami for optimal experience. Overall Yakuza Kiwami has a great story but there are a few nitpicks about the combat. Unlike 0, you need to learn how to play all combat styles for the best time. You can get hard locked if you don't build certain skills before the first boss, Mainly in rush style. Apart from that, this game is a solid 8.5/10 overall.

Story : 9/10

Combat: 7/10

Majima: KIRYU CHAN

Overall: 8.5/10

I was gifted this game by a friend, This game is extremely hard to play without any friends who people can
co-ordinate with, I personally have friends and from what I've played of the game so far, I recommend this game to people who are planning to have fun, have a spook or just mess around with friends, there are situation which are terrifying, funny and stressful. This as a result with friends makes it a 10/10 however alone this game won't even make a 5/10, it is too hard to play with randoms and successfully execute a plan which make or break the game, this as a result makes the game rely heavily on rushing as single player whilst with friends rely on a more calm and slow play style not getting caught by the monsters

10/10 with friends

5/10 as single player

This game is a great port of the original, many of the issues in the game are audio based, however because of it being a port of a ps vita game, that is to be expected of. I would recommend anyone who wants to get into the persona franchise to start with this game as a first and then expanding off as this game has the perfect middle ground of all the attributes of persona 3 and the features that were later implemented in persona 5. The storyline is as great as ever taking place in the small town of Inaba which is a big change from the other 2 installments however good the game may be, the only critic on game play is the camera movement, this is a little bit slow and often found that I would have the camera in awkward locations when clearing through hallways while having shadows chase after me.

Music : 7/10

Gameplay : 8/10

replayability : 7/10
(there are multiple endings, confidants and routes with certain characters)
Graphics : 5/10
( in the world of graphics of the last of us 2 of course it's going to be low even with higher polygon count)
Difficulty : 9/10
(for a beginner or a first time player, do not be afraid to pick the lowest difficulty as this game is hard)

In a full wrap, this game is great to have a blast playing and may soak up hundreds of hours depending on how many playthroughs you do.

Final score : 8/10

Post Game:

This game still holds up to the original PS Vita game, the controls are janky however the up resolution of the game accompanied by my first experience with Japanese voice acting maintained the freshness of the game. There were several crashes in the dungeons across all 3 of my devices with vastly different specs which ruined the overall emersion of the game, This lowers my final score to a final:

7/10

This game is perfect to play with friends, anything is possible, whether it be Wacky or Professionalistic

This game is a childhood for many born in the late 90's early 2000's, the charm of this game is everlasting and never seems to leave no matter what time or what year you play it. The community is always present and the 10 year old kids from back then have now matured making the overall game ageing like a fine wine. I do 100 percent recommend this game to play at least once in everyone's lifetime as this is the Godfather to all games in the of team fps loadouts games. overall this game hasn't changed too much over the years and still to this day is community driven. For this reason I give Team Fortress 2 a 9/10 for the experience and gameplay but in game mechanics, it is a 6/10. The classes are not balanced and in most cases the stock weapons are usually the best and easiest weapons to learn and use.

This game has changed from a game that allowed friends to have fun to a game where you need to have " Good Trust factor " with all 5 friends to experience less cheaters and smurfs. This resulted in majority of my matches with one of my IRL friend filled to the brim with cheaters and smurfs even though he doesn't have VAC or game ban on his account. As a result of this the game has changed into a bad light. If you do play this game be prepared to be filled with disappointment with the lack of true players in the game as of early 2021
