If you gave me the option to either win at a crane game or abandon everything in life and move to some island in the Pacific, I’d chose the latter. I’m not only awful at crane games, but I hate them with a burning desire.
So you could only imagine how I felt like when I encountered one in Yakuza Kiwami.

Yakuza Kiwami has a strange tension between the new and the old. Its modern face lift of the original PS2 game bring it in line with the look of the later PS3 titles, and it’s clear that this is where many series conventions were established. Kiryu’s established as an icon of the old school ideals of masculinity. Rough, straightforward, and honorable to a fault. There’s also plenty of melodrama and absurd reveals, all of which build into a slowly unraveling conspiracy. But while the core is there, it’s clear that Kiwami suffers from being held to the original Yakuza’s structure.
