Topic	Arti's Top 10 Games of 2017 (and other lists)
Arti 02/22/18 9:13:53 PM #46:	5. Yakuza Kiwami Sega PlayStation 4 Released August 29, 2017 Yakuza was always a series I wanted to try out at some point, but I never really had the chance with the massive backlog I have. Fast forward to now and I saw the remake of the first game for half the cost of a regular game, and I snatched that up. During November I wanted to try to play some of the 2017 games I hadn't gotten to yet, and this was on the list of five. Of those, this is the only one that made this list. You play as Kazuma Kiryu, a yakuza about to become a patriarch of his own yakuza family. In the first chapter, his friend Nishiki murders a patriarch of the yakuza family Kiryu and Nishiki are part of. Kiryu takes the blame for the murder and is sent to jail for ten years. When he gets out, ten billion yen is now missing from the clan. His friend Nishima is now a patriarch and is the one who exposed the amount in the first place. Masaru Sera, the chairman, ends up murdered after the missing yen is exposed. And to top everything off, the childhood friend that Nishiki and Kiryu saved suffered memory loss and disappeared suddenly from the hospital she was in. Basically, the plot follows the original game (obviously) with new scenes for Nishiki's ascent through the ranks of the Yakuza and descent into madness, as well as Majima's obsession with fighting the Kiryu of old. It's really interesting most of the time and I enjoyed my play through the game. The four different combat styles also made it so it didn't get too boring overall, but the Dragon style trumps everything once TIGER DROP is unlocked. If you've played any Yakuza game you'll know what a crazy list it has for completists and Kiwami does not disappoint in that area. There's a total of 78 substories in the game (I'm at 68/78 as of this) to complete and a completion list full of tasks to do, like beating enemies with a certain fighting style or winning 20,000 chips in poker. I'm currently at 58.33% but I do feel like aiming for the full 100%. It's nice to see a comprehensive list of all you've done in the game. One thing about this game is I just can't put it down once I've started it up. I've already played more in the postgame clearing substories and completion list tasks than the time I spent playing through the main story, and that's just a sign that the game itself is great. Many people seem to suggest playing through Yakuza 0 before this as a starting point, but I was not confused on anything in Kiwami so it's a fine starting point for the series overall as well. I will probably start 0 when this is done (and while waiting for Kiwami 2). I have 4 and 5 through PS+ so I have a lot more Yakuza ahead of me still! --- insert something about BKSheikah here http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif <cite>Arti posted [p:896593266] in Arti's Top...
