Positives:
+ Looks way better than Yakuza 0 and Kiwami.
+ Progression feels better than the previous two games.
+ Lots of enjoyable side quests and minigames.
+ Great engaging story (Except the ending).
+ Kamurocho and Sotenbori feel way more interactive now.
+ Majima is playable again (although it's not like Yakuza 0. Majima Saga has a very short story and combat options with Majima is very limited).
+ It has Virtua Fighter 2 in the arcade (One of my favourite childhood games).
Negatives:
- Fighting was the most lacking part in this one compared to the previous Yakuza games. I missed switching to different styles, so fighting quickly became boring.
- It's extremely easy, even on hard mode. Boss battles are super easy.
- Anti-aliasing sucks, and hair texture looks terribly bad.
- The ending was more idiotic than I could ever imagine.
Overall, I enjoyed it a lot, unlike Yakuza: Kiwami 1. In terms of gameplay & story, Yakuza: Kiwami 2 is on par with Yakuza 0. I spent half of my total gameplay just exploring the side contents. They were unique and didn't feel repetitive at all.
