Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a solid remake of this sunny entry, though its overly edgy new chapter leaves me cold.

Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is another enjoyable blend of hard-boiled drama and sidestory silliness, but as a package it’s not quite as well-rounded as the series’ more accomplished entries.

Kiwami 3 is the boldest remake of the series to date, but it makes for an uneven retelling that threatens to taint the series' legacy in the process.
