Definitely worth your time after Y0 and K1. It's the first game to adopt a combat style of a later game while being a remake of the 2nd game, so there's a lot different here from the get-go and it's very hard to say right off the bat whether or not the things that changed will be buzzkillers or not. There's a lot to do in K2 compared to K1, but Y0 still remains the biggest of the three games. That being said, Kiwami 2 is a good game for those that want to go for the completionist approach as you get a wide and varied TONS of different things to do. My favorite part of this game was simply trying to complete the completion list and in turn other things like the construction site and cabaret mini games as those will legit eat up a chunk of your time along with everything else there is to do in K2.

The main story is kinda ridiculous at times but if you were like me where they loved Y0 and thought that K1 felt lame and boring in comparison to Y0, K2 will make up for K1 a bit as long as you weren't super attached to the Brawler/Rush/Beat style switching of the previous two games as the fighting style is completely different along with the way EXP was overhauled to account for 5 different types of EXP points. Having now finished Y0, K1 and now K2, they're all very good games in their own way, but they all run long enough to where it's normal to find a thing or two about each game that you didn't really like at the end of the road, and Kiwami 2's stupid thing is Haruka favors with gambling games I personally don't care to play.
