Jakejames Lugo of The Koalition writes: Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the first game in the Yakuza series from SEGA. Those who only know about the modern games of the series will feel right at home, while those who played the first title will get to see this everything in a better light. The story and characters remain the same from the original release, but Yakuza Kiwami adds new cutscenes and some gameplay elements from recent entries of the series, making for a polished retelling of the 2005 PlayStation 2 game. It might not be as long or over-the-top as other Yakuza games, but Yakuza Kiwami does a good job of reimagining the start of the franchise.
Some games require more than one playthrough to fully experience. Here are seven games that are better on the second playthrough.
Red Dead 2 ? Who would ever want to play that slow ass bloated overly long game twice ! Not to mention going through those awfully designed main missions.
I mean, I did. I enjoyed every bit of the 3 times I played through it. Just because you didn’t enjoy it doesn’t mean others won’t. Not every game is for everyone.
But the first game is one of my favourite games ever.. i have no idea what happend with the second game but Rockstar needs to change it’s game design, especially how those main missions are designed. It’s severly outdated. Oh and actually make the gameplay enjoyable and not so slow and clunky.

Believe me, I recently replayed the first one and it’s worse in both structure and game design. Don’t let nostalgia misplace that. RDR 2 is definitely an improvement but it’s rockstar in general that needs to open up their handholding on missions.
Some games have good incentives for multiple playthroughs but you can never beat experiencing it for the first time. Caelid for the first time? Mindblowing. Second time around it's just Caelid again.
Overcoming powerful foes in a big arena is such a thrilling experience in a video game. A good game combines a great music score, sound/graphical effects, and action sequences to create a compelling and memorable fight. Here are the 10 best video game boss fights.

Definitely planning to pick this up as soon as I finish Yakuza 0.
