In this Yakuza: Like a Dragon review, we've discussed how the game is, all in all, great. Barring the time spent grinding to counter random difficulty spikes, I had fun for virtually the entirety of my forty-hour run, in which I cleared the story, complet...

Abstract: Backlogs are a 1st world problem. Having so much to enjoy that you can't enjoy anything is something that I would play the world's smallest violin for. In 2006, SEGA released an open world brawler set in a stylized version of Japan where players control a...
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is worth your time. While you might not like it if you were a fan of the older Yakuza titles, or if you are looking for something dark and serious, anyone who just wants to explore Japan while having some fun and beating some gangste...

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is an impressive new addition to the series with stunning visuals, interesting characters, and an incredibly engaging story. However, the newly introduced gameplay mechanics hold the game back with several balancing issues...

Abstract: Video game reboots are usually undertaken in order to drag longstanding brands into 21st-century modernity. But Like a Dragon preserves the old-fashioned, somewhat unreconstructed vibe of the previous Yakuza games, while adding a new twist that diverts it...
A bold and exciting new direction for the franchise, Ichiban Kasuga is a brilliant and relatable new protagonist, Turn-based combat system is filled with depth and customisation, Special attacks are wonderfully absurd and satisfying, Explori
Some elements of the Yakuza experience can feel archaic in 2020, Camera can become a nuisance in more crowded battles,
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a triumph, and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio should be commended for redefining such a seasoned franchise, despite the backlash it might have received. Leaving Kazuma Kiryu behind hasn't been easy, but Ichiban Kasuga and company have craft...
