Yakuza Kiwami (2016) feels like one of the greatest sequels you could ask for, for yakuza 0. (which could, and is seen as a flaw of the game by many, as it disrespects it as the First game in the franchise, which Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of) The game amplifies on the already revolutionary fighting system of Yakuza 0 to such extent that it's almost impossible to go back after this one unless your using mods (which is actually a very viable thing to do). All around This is "Kiryu's" game with the fastest combat and the craziest moves, and possible combos out of any of his games in the series, big thanks to rush time on this one. (And obviously thanks to the ridiculously overpowered tiger drop move). On top of it, all the game of the story is incredibly fast and BOLD with its motives which makes it one of the only Yakuza games in the series which I love to replay. 5/5

Greatest Prequel In the history of Videogames. While getting back to it after playing all the different games of the series could be rough, going in fresh just EXPLODES YOUR MIND AND BODY WITH HEAT (But you might get into the mood of the Japanese Bubble era first). It's a perfect introduction to this magical series full of Violence and Human Spirit everywhere you go, and beautiful sights and sounds (see karaoke and disco) at every corner. It simply is a living and breathing unforgettable world. The 2 Protagonists: Majima, and Kiryu-san, could be compared to those of JoJo, and they will be the two people that change your world forever with their incredible original and sometimes contrasting characters and qualities. Obvious Must Buy/Must Play 5/5

Great Game Really! The change of Protagonist to Ichiban gave this entry such a breath of fresh air that it feels like an entirety of a new era not only for this series but for everything around us. The new protagonist has infinite energy, is infinitely optimistic, charming, and confident that it's impossible to just not get stuck with the lighting of his motivation. Metamorphically the game is about a character who knows nothing but Hope and Love in his life which let's him get out of the deepest pits of hell up to the top of the Millenium tower, thriving in his riches. From absolute darkness to greatness through sheer will, hope, and love. And it really goes to how our life really could be like that game, an RPG where we can't ever stop from getting stronger where there simply is no point in losing hope or our warmness in our hearts as long as we keep leveling up. 5/5
