"Yakuza Kiwami 3 is Sega's fourth remake of the cult classic crime series, and it's by far the most daring "reimagining" that developer Ryu Ga Gotoku has had. Like the last two Kiwami games, this is a complete from-the-ground-up rebuild of the PS3 classic - but for all intents, Yakuza Kiwami 3 might as well be viewed as a new entry. After three hours of hands-on time I have no hesitation in saying this is one of Sega's most ambitious remakes yet, looking to completely redefine style and impact."
"Like Kiwami 2, Yakuza Kiwami 3 runs on RGG's Dragon Engine, with a completely rebuilt world, new combat system, additional minigames, entirely new story sections, and more. Sega has been a bit coy about how deep those story changes run, but even in just the three hours I played, which was entirely focused on side content, it's clear there's a heaping helping of "new.""
Yakuza Kiwami 3 rebuilds Yakuza 3 from the ground up on RGG's Dragon Engine, delivering a rebuilt world, new combat system, additional minigames, and entirely new story sections. The remake modernizes the original PS3 title with contemporary visuals and gameplay, aiming to redefine style and impact. The remake preserves Kiryu's emotional arc running Morning Glory Orphanage while addressing aging gameplay. Early hands-on impressions note ambitious scale and significant new content, while also flagging concerns about franchise homogenization. Side activities observed include gardening, harvesting, and a cooking minigame tied to household management.
