Sega has brought the next chapter in the Yakuza series to PC with the remake of the first Yakuza game in Yakuza Kiwami. Although chronologically Yakuza Zero happens before this, the first game came out before it on PlayStation 2 in 2006. Kiwami means Extreme, and that is what Sega tries to bring its fans with retelling Yakuza. Does it succeed on PC? This is our Yakuza Kiwami PC review.

    The main story is an average of 18 hours for most players... Do some of the extras you are at 30+ hours. Complete the game entirely you are at 80+. 18 hours for the main story is fine. Most people won't be able to just do the main story due to all the other activities that interrupt along the way anyhow.

    For the ton of content you get at $20 bucks I don't think your con is valid. Im not trying to say the score deserves better (or worse) though.

    On top of that, the game is known for it's vast amount of side activities. I don't know how you could go the entire story without even stopping to try them adding more playtime. 18 Hours is also quite a long story. Just for comparison in single player games :

    Bioshock - 11 hours
    DOOM (2016) - 11 hours
    Titanfall 2 - 6 hours
    Sleeping Dogs - 15 hours

    Length shouldn't be a negative if it's a good game.

    As someone who hasn't played a Yakuza game before, should you play this one first?

    I would say playing Zero gives good story context and is a great introduction to the series, but isn't necessary to play first.

    Still a good game though I know PCGamer rip think they look at it as a direct sequel even though it was made before Yakuza 0 wonder how many People will have issues with lack of money
