This is about to be my favorite game series ever. I didn’t love the combat at first. The story starts strong but then took some time to pick up again. At least for my standards. I knew I had to stick with it though because I was completely sold on Kiryu and Majima and the contrast between the story and the open world activities. It was absolutely worth it. I didn’t expect to love the story and every single character like that. Even the characters you may hate, you can’t help but like. I loved the minigames and the substories. I played on easy because I didn’t like the combat, but I hope as I keep playing the series I can improve because I now love the combat. Even by the end when you’ve seen the same animations on repeat, it never gets old. Plus even with the old ones, I feel like I kept seeing new heat animations frequently enough by the end of it. I want to finish the series and come back for at least most of what I may have missed. There’s so much more I could say but I gotta go play Kiwami now. Bye-bye.
