YAKUZA 4 REMASTERED REVIEW PS3

He’s made a new life for himself after establishing the Morning Glory Orphanage. The first HD entry in the mainline series sees Kiryu, having left the organized crime life behind, raising his adoptive daughter Haruka along with several other orphans in Okinawa. So, now that we’re all caught up, let’s get into what each entry in this remastered trilogy has to offer. I’ve played almost every mainline game and I still don’t understand how they can juggle these tonal shifts so well. You may wonder how the game’s juggle this constant shift in tone depending on the player’s whims, I am also wondering the same thing. Outside of the main story, you can help strangers in hilarious and wacky side stories. You’ll brawl your way through hundreds of thugs on the streat while exploring the city which is filled with tons of things to do. Each entry sees you playing as someone in or adjacent to Japan’s organized crime scene, usually Kazuma Kiryu, the nicest criminal you’ve ever seen, as a wonderfully told drama unfolds around them. As a longtime fan of the series, it’s wonderful to see it finally get the treatment it deserves and attempt to rectify its past mistakes.įor those not in the know, the Yakuza series is like a soap opera with lots of muscle-bound men dramatically removing their shirts on rooftops to beat each other up over money, murders, territory, or just how much they respect one another that week.

For this remastered collection, in addition to the expected graphical updates, Sega has gone the extra mile and relocalized all three games. Since Yakuza 0 was so successful it essentially launched the series into the mainstream, there will be a lot of people playing these games for the first time after the Kiwami remakes of 1 and 2. Now with the enhanced re-releases of the PlayStation 3 trilogy, it’s possible to play through all of his trials and tribulations on PS4. The story of Kazuma Kiryu has come to an end.
