Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties Review – Why is it Always Real Estate

I’ve been playing Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties on the PS5, putting in over 10 hours on the main game and 3+ hours on Dark Ties. In Kiwami 3, I spent a lot of time exploring Okinawa, learning the new combat system, and trying out the side activities. With Dark Ties, I was more focused on the main story. It’s important to know that Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties are essentially separate games with their own saves and progress. I’d suggest finishing Kiryu’s story in Kiwami 3 before starting Dark Ties because Mine’s story contains spoilers. Given how twisty Yakuza games can be, I won’t reveal anything about the plot beyond the early parts.
