It's fine. The story is good when it doesn't feel like filler. I want to state that I played this before 0 and upon reflection, this is just a poor man's Yakuza 0. Everything this game does, 0 did better (whether it be combat, minigames, or soundtrack). Of course, you can't talk about Kiwami without discussing the Majima Everywhere system. I have mixed feelings about it. The interactions between him and Kiryu are gold. Still, it gets annoying fighting him every five seconds (especially when you progress enough where he's a mini-boss walking around the streets). The boss fights in the game are garbage. At a certain point, they will regain a significant amount of health. That does not make the boss challenging, just annoying (and this also applies to the Majima Everywhere fights). It's a decent game, but it could've been more.
