This is game that is really stupid and has it's share of flaws but it jives with me in so many areas that I can't help but love it. This might be a bit controversial but it's up there with 0 for me. While I think I would still rate 0 above this it's very close as I think these games have strengths where the other is weaker. The narrative of this game is stupid and gets mega messy near the end but the I like ryuji as an antagonist way more than any of the antagonists from 0. 0 had overall stronger side content but I think I like the sub stories of kiwami 2 more. 0 gives the multiple battle styles to help mix up combat but it makes upgrading a bit messy and some styles are just better than others in a lot of situations and the single battle style of this game makes combat and upgrading more streamlined and makes me feel like I have better grasp by the end. While I can keep going I hope those points help highlight how I feel about this game and why I rate it where I do. Otherwise yeah stupid and fun game really glad I played this one as well, so far this series is 4 for 4.
