Man was this game fun. The story was very enjoyable, but the characters are what made it so special to me. All the kids at the orphanage and the new characters introduced in Okinawa (which is probably my favourite city in the series so far) were amazing. I also loved the role that Kiryu played in this game as it showed a lot more of his softer and more caring side, which was very wholesome. I will say though that on first impression, the gameplay engine was a shock, especially coming from the much more modern Kiwami 2. However, I luckily got used to it very very fast to the point where now it now feels more natural to me than going back to some previous entries does haha :) I definitely recommend this game to fans of the series, but make sure to play the previous games first otherwise you will definitely be extremely confused by the story.
