Game #17: Yakuza Kiwami
Platform: PC Steam
Year: 2016 | Finished April 26th 2024

For the second time, Yakuza hasn't failed to wow me with its gut-punching emotions and I-wanna-go-gut-punching combat. Technically the first game, but an excellent followup to Yakuza Zero which, if you don't remember it, was the game I cried the most.
Kiwami didn't fail to make me shed a tear or two, and although not as sentimental as Zero, and not as varied gameplay-wise, has left me wondering what else this series has to offer. If every game is something like this, then it's surely one of the best franchises in media history.
