![]() ![]() If the plot sounds typical for a Yakuza game, you’d be correct. Both of them play off of each other quite well, and certain interactions between them are honestly kind of endearing to a point. I will say that the chemistry between Kiryu and Kaoru is something that I enjoyed as I played through. She’s definitely part of the plot here, and her hard-nosed attitude and determination for searching for the truth over a number of plot threads is pretty entertaining. Eventually you encounter Ryuji Goda of the Go-Ryu Clan, also known as the “Dragon of Kansai.” Goda’s clan might be affiliated with the Omi Alliance, but they’re basically a set of rogue actors intending on being the wrench in the works of both groups.Įventually, Kiryu will end up teaming up with investigative cop Kaoru Sayama (nicknamed “Yakuza Huntress”) for a large part of the game. There are some other plot points here, but half the fun of a Yakuza plot is watching it all unfold. ![]() This is what the meat of the plot largely centers around. Kiryu is quickly summoned to Tojo Clan headquarters and tasked by the acting chairman to head over to Kansai and help prevent an all out war with the Omi Alliance. Unsurprisingly, the group is attacked and Terada doesn’t make it. ![]() After trying to pay his respects to a number of characters, Yukio Terada of the Omi Alliance asks for his help. Kazuma Kiryu is just trying to live a quiet life with his ward Haruka Sawamura. ![]() Despite the wife’s desire to jump out of the burning room, the cop convinces her and her child to come with him.įast forward to 2006, one year after the 10 Million Yen Incident from Yakuza/Yakuza Kiwami. Eventually he discovers a man who is dying, who begs him to rescue his wife and child who are in a burning room. A murder scene is discovered by a cop called to the scene. We open to a cutscene that precedes main plot of the game, but is related to it. Developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios and published by Sega, Yakuza Kiwami 2 comes to the PlayStation 4 as a console exclusive available at a $59.99 price point from its release date of August 28, 2018. Now, new fans who were itching to get their hands on a modern release of Yakuza 2 finally get their chance to continue where they left off in Kiwami. Based on prior reviews by myself and our super-reviewer FireMarth, it’s safe to say there’s a reason that this franchise is carving out a faithful foothold for itself. Thankfully, the sales of this series have been consistent enough to warrant constant localization of these games. It’s honestly safe to say that this franchise has been experiencing a bit of a resurgence thanks to these solid remakes making their way stateside. Recently, we’ve seen the end of his story with the release of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life. Kazuma Kiryu has seen quite a bit of exposure over the last couple of years. ![]()
