Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review

So finished Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties and with all the controversy aside it was enjoyable. The modernized combat and refreshed presentation made stepping back into Kamurocho and Okinawa a blast, and the story though it’s familiar still packed emotional weight. It isn’t without it’s flaws, there are some questionable choices and the recast of certain characters felt like an odd choice some performances honestly didn’t quite land the way the originals did, and it took me out of the experience at times. Yakuza Kiwami 3 shines when it comes to side activities and mini-games they’re an absolute blast. Whether it’s diving into substories, managing the Morning Glory orphanage, running around Okinawa or Kamurocho, or getting lost in classic arcade distractions, there’s always something fun to do. That said, a lot of this content feels recycled from previous entries. While it’s still entertaining, longtime fans will recognize many of these activities, which makes the experience feel a bit less fresh than it could have been. Dark Ties, the new standalone experience, focusing on the antagonist Yoshitaka Mine. The combat feels sharp and satisfying, and it’s extremely cool to experience things from a different perspective. However, the story feels a bit brief and doesn’t fully explore it’s potential. Overall, Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties are flawed and completely far from perfect but I still had fun with the overall package. If you are a Yakuza/LAD fun I’d recommend!
