Played through normal and a legend mode run, Yakuza Kiwami 1 is the second yakuza game i played, and weirdly one i like coming back to more than 0.

Not one that i'd say is like "better" as it has it's own missteps, and is kind of the first game with a greater level of polish, but i think it not relying on just money plus the majima everywhere system makes things a lot more fun to progress in the game.

Story is also pretty fine. Not much to say about it aside from the ending being kinda... meh af. I do like how some of the scenes are more dynamically shot, like when you first meet yuya.

I think it's just a weirdly more cozy Yakuza 0, and I like it.
