  • Infinite Wealth was a very fun game but it’s honestly one of the worst stories they’ve written in the series with plot lines that were incoherent with the situation they’ve wrote themselves into. Not to mention the amount of time they spent on the Hawaii side of things having a very plain and unexciting wrap up. It’s only redeeming points are all the numerous call backs to the earlier games which is lost if you don’t play the earlier games.

    I highly recommending playing in a modified release order.

    • Kiwami 1
    • Kiwami 2 (skip the Majima Saga for now)
    • 3 - 5 (these don’t age as well and the stories are quite a nose dive compared to the previous 2, so I think it’s fine to skip them if the gameplay isn’t really for you)
    • 0
    • Kiwami 2’s Majima Saga
    • 6
    • 7 (known as Like a Dragon in English)
    • Gaiden
    • Infinite Wealth

    There’s also Ishin which is fine to play anytime since it’s a spinoff but it casts characters from the main games to play historical characters so there’s a neat bit of irony if you know who the characters are in the first place. So playing it after 7 would be the best time.

    And then if you still want more, Judgment and Lost Judgment takes place in the same world and use the same brawler style gameplay but follows a detective instead.










  • I used to be pretty stubborn about wanting a stock experience especially after the bloated sluggish mess that was TouchWiz but they’ve really turned things around.

    There’s a lot of One UI features that I take for granted now (same thing I also hear from friends who switched to a Pixel) and it also looks way better than stock after Google did the whole Material 3 change. The main annoyance I have is with the default launcher and keyboard but those can easily be changed to third party alternatives anyways.






  • These changes are great although on a slightly unrelated note. I can sort of understand why they don’t allow you to do it but it’d be nice if I could play something on my Deck while playing something on my PC too. Sometimes I’m just idling waiting for friends in a game and want to pass the time. I know you can just switch off Wi-Fi in the Deck to do that but it is still mildly annoying.
