Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties

Ex-yakuza Kazuma Kiryu has left Tokyo to care for Haruka and the children at an Okinawan orphanage. When political and criminal interests threaten the land around their home, he is drawn back into conflict.

Explore Okinawa and Tokyo, fight enemies in beat-'em-up combat, and take on side stories and activities. Kiryu can use his Dragon of Dojima style or switch to a weapon-focused Ryukyu style, while skills are unlocked through progression.

The package also includes a separate story starring Yoshitaka Mine, who enters the yakuza world after losing his startup and seeks meaningful bonds. His campaign features boxing-based combat, city activities, reputation missions, and an arena with dungeon-style runs.

In this review sample, players who enjoyed the game often highlight the orphanage activities and Kiryu's relationship with the children, along with Mine's separate story and the added combat styles. Some also like the biker-gang battles and added scenes. Many reviewers criticize the amount of removed content and story changes, while opinions on the combat and new activities vary.
