Yakuza kiwami majima pocket circuit series#
My first real experience of the side-stories was found in Yakuza Kiwami and it involved the series mainstay Majima-san. Leading man Kazuma Kiyru looking handsome as usual Labelled as sub-stories in-game, each one is individually written and offers a different view of the city through the people that we commonly ignore in many other video games. As the series’ main protagonist Kiryu goes about his business in the city, he runs in to a number of individuals in need of help. What makes Kamurocho so interesting is the people that live within it. In an industry that continuously pushes for larger landscapes and more complex game spaces, prioritising exploration over engagement it’s refreshing that Sega has spent the best part of 13 years doubling down on two of Yakuza’s best features – its environment and the inhabitants within it.Įach iteration in the series takes place in Kamurocho, a fictional Tokyo district based on the real-life district of Kabukichō.

Since then I have played Kiwami and Yakuza 6 on release and each time I have found myself utterly charmed by the captivating universe surrounding the main narrative.

The Yakuza series is one I only discovered last year after reviewing the excellent prequel title 0 which released in 2015.
