Yakuza 1 Kiwami - Review

 Genre: Adventure/action.
Developer/publisher: Sega
Platform: PS4/pc.
Official Site: N/A
Release date: 29-8-2017.
 
I decided to continue working on my backlog and decided its back to yakuza
to follow the adventures of Kiryu-chan! I casually added Y1&2 kiwami to my backlog
from a psn sale after finishing Y0, since I thought why not? why should I not
try to make my way through the mountain of yakuza games? however I won't be doing
a marathon and will go through it when I think the time is right to visit Kamurocho again.

Since I don't like brawlers I played on easy from the start with gore set to mild
hmmm? seems this is becoming a tradition! Also most of my screenshots
are funny things from sub stories or Majima in general.

Pro's
- Good for an ''origin story'' of the first ever Yakuza game but not much else.
- Majima is annoying but also a delight.
- Plenty of optional content like minigames and substories.
- Combat was good, I actually used brawler stance more in this game compared to Y0.

Con's
- Why the hell did certain substories explain main plot threads? like hello
mainstory is there for a reason???
- Game has story markers but also randomly stops using them in the middle of it all.
- Pretty short compared to Y0.

This review isn't really spoiler free as I did kind of sum up the game in my final thoughts
so you're warned! the rest is just rambles and my experience of the game!
