Pokken, also known as Yakuza Kiwami 2, is a fighting game developed by Omega Force and published by Sega. It is a spin-off of the Yakuza series and was released in 2016 for the PlayStation 4. The game features a unique art style that combines traditional Japanese aesthetics with a more modern and stylized approach. Pokken is set in the fictional city of Dojima, which is heavily inspired by the real-life city of Osaka, Japan.

The gameplay of Pokken is centered around a series of one-on-one matches between various characters, each with their own unique fighting styles and abilities. The game features a variety of game modes, including a story mode, an online multiplayer mode, and a local multiplayer mode. In the story mode, players take on the role of a new recruit in the Dojima Yakuza, who must prove their worth by participating in a series of fights against other yakuza groups.

Pokken received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its unique art style, engaging gameplay, and the variety of characters and abilities. However, some critics noted that the game's story mode was not as strong as its multiplayer mode. Despite this, Pokken has become a popular fighting game among fans of the Yakuza series and has spawned several sequels, including Pokken Tournament DX and Pokken Tournament.
