Yakuza 6/Yakuza Kiwami 2 (Both released in 2018 in English) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vng-2rETJK0 I could have included either game in this spot and the writeup would mostly be the same, so why not include both? I missed both of these games in 2018 because I was still catching up on older games in the series. Yakuza 2 was already a great game on PS2 and remaking it in the new Dragon Engine really let it shine. I enjoyed reliving that game's story while also benefiting from the new quality of life improvements the new engine provided. Also it had a ton of older NJPW wrestlers in it like Mutoh and Chono as part of a new tower defense mode, which may mark the only time I've ever enjoyed a tower defense game. Also Kiryu punches a tiger in the face. Yakuza 6 was the debut of the Dragon Engine so it didn't quite run as well as Kiwami 2 did and served as the final chapter in Kiryu's storyline. Personally though I felt it was more of an epilogue and that the story really wrapped up with Yakuza 5 and this was just more of "hey what's Kiryu been up to in his older age still kickin ass that's our boi, Kiryu" This one also had NJPW wrestlers in it, but it was more current guys like Okada and Tanahashi and it was REVERSE TOWER DEFENSE and was also fun to play through. --- ...
