Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a celebration. Not just of Yakuza or JRPGs, but of people. Anybody who has ever found themselves at rock bottom yet managed to hold on to that light of hope.

This was a very risky direction for RGG to take the series in but despite some shortcomings, their efforts paid off immensely. I am incredibly glad to have followed Yakuza up to this point, and look forward to whatever else the series has in store for me.

Excelente documentário sobre o crime organizado no Japão.

An amazing story, with a great mix of humor, drama, and killer back dragon tattoos. There's so much to do! If you don't feel like fighting one day, then play casino games, or buy properties, or race go-karts, or play darts, and the list goes on and on! Ichiban is such a great character, and I eventually came to really enjoy the combat. The only annoyance happens during the second half of the game, where you're forced to grind several times through dungeons and arenas. It took several hours each time, and I ended up having to rewatch all of the cut-scenes to remember what was happening in the story. I would have rather had longer "story dungeons" with a more gradual challenge. Overall, I loved the game, and can't wait to play Infinite Wealth!

One of the best Yakuza games
One of the best JRPGs I've ever played
Peak story, gameplay, characters, humor
City is vibrant and full of life, legacy characters are treated with the respect they deserve
Main and side content are both as fun and appealing as each other
A cast of characters that feel like family by the end
One of the best soft reboots ever written, if only more franchises were treated with this level of love and care
A must play

strong beginning and ending
good character dynamics for a lot of the cast
gameplay is simple but fun
a lot of the minigames and social links were nice additions

This game has one of the best yakuza stories in the whole series and Ichiban is such a loveable character. The amount of side content in this game is insane and my only complaint about that side content is that the main story is so amazing i forget to do substories. the combat isnt the greatest but it's still fun. The first 3/4 of the game is really easy but the last 1/4 is really hard even after grinding a certain place. All the new characters are so enjoyable to watch and they couldn't have done a better job of establishing the new era of like a dragon. (would have preferred brawler combat tho)

Très bon mais j'aimerai vraiment trouver le temps pour le terminer...

To keep this from being an entire essay, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a game unlike anything else. It may not have the most complex battle system or the most polished story, but it more than makes up for it with a ton of heart.
