Yakuza Kiwami 1 (PS4 Game)

Yakuza Kiwami is an action adventure game for the Sony PlayStation 4 developed and published by Sega. It is the remake of the original Yakuza game, originally released in 2005 in Japan, and now considered one of the best titles in the long-running Yakuza franchise.

First and foremost, Yakuza Kiwami is an open-world action experience with a mix of traditional brawler, role-playing, and adventure elements. You take on the role of Kazuma Kiryu, a former yakuza member who finds himself sucked into an underworld of crime, violence, and deceit. A massive plot twist at the start of the game turns what was a peaceful retirement into an epic struggle for survival.

The story and setting of Yakuza Kiwami is intimately tied to the seedy underworld of the Japanese criminal underworld. It's an impressively dark and mature narrative, full of fascinating characters and despicable villains. As you progress through the main plot, you'll be constantly presented with side quests and distractions that force you to detour from the main objective--a tradition for the Yakuza series that has returned for Yakuza Kiwami.

Yakuza Kiwami includes a plethora of features that make the game play engaging and entertaining. The combat is more punishing than ever, as it now includes Heat Actions, environmental attacks, and the ability to throw basic objects like chairs or boxes. You also have various mini-games, such as karaoke, golf, and even bashing away at a hostess club. The city of Kamurocho itself has been expanded and updated with brand-new shops, restaurants, and night spots to explore.

Yakuza Kiwami also features enhanced visuals that bring the action and story to life. Characters now move more fluidly, and the level of detail of the world and characters has been expanded. The whole experience has been improved with higher resolution textures, increased draw distances, and more realistic lighting effects.

Overall, Yakuza Kiwami is one of the best titles to be released for the PS4 in recent years. With a gripping story, intuitive combat, and gorgeous visuals, it is a must-have title for any Yakuza fan. With an ample amount of side-quests, minigames, and optional content, Yakuza Kiwami is sure to keep you absorbed in the seedy underworld of Japan for many hours.
