It’s not that Yakuza Kiwami is worse or weaker in the graphics department, it just never has a chance to reach the same graphical quality of the previous game. There’s no character that really rivals Kuze from the Yakuza 0 which looked amazing. This is likely due to the fact that the characters had to be chosen to fit with the original PlayStation 2 era graphics, so most characters are twenty to forty-year-old characters. There’s a more generic feel to the characters, where there’s not a lot of age shown. Still, while the characters look good in Kiwami I would be lying if I said they all look amazing. Whereas Yakuza 0 had the strange system of having three different styles of cutscenes, Yakuza Kiwami really tries to stay in full video, with a few scenes being in-game, which look weaker but still quite enjoyable. Every character is nicely detailed, and Yakuza Kiwami really spends a lot of time in full cutscenes with voice-overs and more. Yakuza Kiwami was originally made for the PlayStation 3, upgraded to the PlayStation 4, and now ported to the PC, and it looks exceptionally good. The first thing I noticed was how good Yakuza Kiwami looks. Also, Yakuza Kiwami was originally made after Yakuza 0 and most of the rest of the series, so we can see what the series has learned from those games. Kiwami simply is Japanese for “Extreme” or “Ultimate” so while the story is similar to the original game, this is a full remake so very little of the original game is here. Yakuza Kiwami is actually the remake of the original Yakuza game. This is the direct sequel to Yakuza 0, so it’s time to see if it lives up to that game. I wouldn’t have to wait very long for a follow-up, as the port of Yakuza Kiwami has now reached the PC just six months later. Last year, I awarded Yakuza 0 the game of the year for 2018. Also Available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 (Japan Only).
