The remake offers a fresh take on the original game, with plenty of new features and improvements. As one critic noted, "Kiwami 3 feels like a refreshingly grounded experience after playing the more recent Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii and the irreverent turn-based shenanigans of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth." Background on the series reveals that Yakuza Kiwami 3 is part of a larger trend of remakes and reboots in the gaming industry. The success of previous Kiwami titles has led to increased interest in revisiting classic games with modern twists.
