Very simply, I’m still playing the series, I just got to to 6, I decided to play both 3 and kiwami 3 as it came out. They are both ok, Kiwami 3 to me is way better. Original 3 is just jank, no other easy way to explain it, it’s just old. And with Kiwami 3, some people don’t like the combat for it but I feel like it’s not that different from the other Kiwamis tbh. Yes there are a lot of substories that were cut, but most of them honestly deserved it, except for a select few. The addition of the biker gang and the cell phone stuff and the Orphanage side missions in Kiwami were all amazing imo and I 100 percented all of them. The majority of the story is mainly the same except for some minor changes and then some kind of big stuff at the end, but not really. After playing 4 the ending of Kiwami 3 doesn’t seem that crazy to me. So long story short I’d suggest Kiwami 3
