After playing Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and 0, I found this entry extremely disappointing for multiple reasons.
The story is actually good even though it starts SUPER slow, for the first couple of hours you are just wondering what you are actually playing. But the main problem of this game is the combat, it is just unfair. The upgrade system is horrible, you get into so many random fights and last so long because either everyone is attacking you at the same time or so consistently that you can't do anything, the enemies block so much and you miss so many hits. So the combat is awful, but the story is so short that you can't enjoy anything for long. Definitely a miss in the franchise.
