Yakuza 5 Review

 The huge Yakuza 5 arrives remastered and closes the trilogy The Yakuza Remastered Collection on PS4, a console that already has all the main saga.      With Yakuza 5 Remastered , Sega brings the entire main series to PlayStation 4, from the prequel Yakuza 0 to the airs of change that Yakuza brings : Like a Dragon , which we will talk more about this year. Fans, new or veteran, can relive the adventures of Kazuma Kiryu with remakes, remasters and native deliveries of PS4, and Yakuza 5 closes The Yakuza Remastered Collection , the physical edition with the Yakuza of PS3 - Yakuza 3, 4 and 5 - . We only miss the spin-offs , but few apologies remain to discover this saga of brawler action and touches of role. Yakuza 5 arrived in the final stretch of PlayStation 3, in Japan in 2012. Yakuza had not reaped the popularity it has today, still moderate but enough for Sega to trust his success even in the West. Its original launch was delayed for years, even doubting its distributi

Nioh 2 Embraces Its Darker Side While Improving The Souls-Like Action

Team Ninja's samurai Souls-like is sharper and more focused than ever. Team Ninja's Nioh 2 very much continues iterating upon the methodical Souls-style samurai-influenced combat of the original game. As a prequel set several decades earlier in the Sengoku-era, before the arrival of the foreigner William, you play as a nameless Samurai who can defy death and unleash newfound abilities due to their latent demonic lineage. As a being of both the human and demon worlds, your character will rub shoulders with historical figures of the era as they take on daring missions that have them confront the dark forces running afoul in the land. Over the last few months, Team Ninja has spent time refining the game with different open beta periods for players to jump into the action. Just before the game's final release on March 13, we got to spend one final time with the game, where we explored a castle overrun by demons and rogue ninja. From this near-final look at the gam

Nioh 2: Length, Release Date, Impressions, Pre-Order Details, And What We Know So Fa

Being the best of both worlds in Nioh 2. Nioh proved a fantastic iteration of the massively popular Souls-like genre. At the same time, it marked a return for its developer, Team Ninja, who struggled for years to create an action game experience that rivaled the quality of its work on the original Ninja Gaiden. In 2020, the studio is looking to continue that success by releasing Nioh 2. The upcoming sequel looks to improve upon the first in a variety of ways, as well as change things up. Below we've compiled everything we know about Nioh 2, including its release date, our impressions of the game so far, its length, how its combat is changing, and a lot more. Story And Characters Like its predecessor, Nioh 2 is set during the Sengoku period of Japanese history--this time in the year 1555, which is at the height of this era of near-constant military conflict and social upheaval. Thus, Nigh 2 serves as a prequel to the first game, and this time you play as

Yakuza 5 Has One Of The Best Opening Chapters; Remaster Is Out Now On PS4

Kiryu didn't choose the yakuza life, the yakuza life chose him. A couple years ago, I got drawn into Kazuma Kiryu's world, the world of Yakuza games, being completely enamored by charismatic characters and the allure of rowdy city streets. The series' pitch-perfect blend of gripping melodrama and absurdist humor is as consistent as kindhearted tough-guy Kazuma Kiryu getting suckered into his former gang's illicit business. With Yakuza 5 Remastered out now, alongside the whole Yakuza Remastered Collection, the entire saga is now playable on PlayStation 4. Each entry was memorable in its own right, but Yakuza 5's opening chapter is the one that will forever be burnt into my memory. On a calm winter night in Fukuoka, about 700 miles from his home turf of Kamurocho in Tokyo, Kiryu's chaotic life is shown to have seemingly settled down again. He's a cab driver assuming a new identity under a different name, appearing to have put decades of his life

Minecraft Nether Update Patch Notes: New Biomes, Blocks, And More

You can now harvest a new ore called Ancient Debris. Minecraft's latest update, the 1.16 "Nether Update," has arrived and with it comes a bevy of additions such as new locations and ores. It's a huge update and the patch notes are extensive, so there's a lot to dig into. First up is the inclusion of new crafting materials. The Nether Update introduces Ancient Debris, a "fancy new ore" that can be mined in the lower depths of the Nether. Once gathered, you can refine the material to create netherite scrap which, when combined with gold ingots, can be turned into netherite ingots. The new patch also adds new wood materials, soul soil (which burns a blue flame), additional blocks, and more. Now Playing:  The Most Influential Games Of The 21st Century Video: Minecraft The Nether Update also opens up three new biomes for exploration: the Crimson Forest, Soulsand Valley, and the Warped Forest. Netherite can be found in each biome, fungi
