"Maybe I've Had A Pretty Crazy Life, All Things Considered. Know What Though? Everyone Else Has Too"- Ichiban Kasuga
The moment I completed Gaiden I was soo anxious to get to this one, ashamed it took me this long to see the credits roll as I may have bitten off my than I can chew with this full-time school schedule. Even so, I have lost sleep and stayed up later than usual because I was so invested in this story, I had to find out what was going to happen and how it would end. Ryu Ga Gotoku has yet to disappoint me and we are definitely in the heyday of these magnificent games.
Improving from the last installment in nearly every way with addictive turn based gameplay and the combos and coop moves were great, so much ways you can make a fight turn into a split-second ass whooping. It practically puts you in the headspace to strategize like "if I use this move ill knock this goon into the other and both will fall then my party member can follow up and split his wig!! Jokes on you Hawaii riffraff, you ain't suing anybody!!"
The cast is some of the best up to this point I have had the pleasure of experiencing, I love everyone of these legendary characters and Kiryu has some of the best conversations and interactions and I am so glad we get to experience him in a party like setting and having conversations with the other members. Speaking of which this game is a rollercoaster of emotions to laughing my ass off to getting misty eyed. Kuroda's performance in here is one of the best he has done and like a fine wine Kazuma just gets more better with age and oozes the coolness, damn I wanna be like him!! To think Kuroda is already back in the studio working on something again is true Kiryu energy, he is him!!
I get what other people have said in regards to some of the pacing in the game and I can agree their is an instance where it does feel a bit awkward and with so much going on in the story and multiple villains, the coup de grace of the main villain here felt pretty average and not as powerful as past villains, felt kind of like textbook yakuza villainy and we didn't get more time to really dive into the character itself. Nonetheless a small dent in such a great game.
The extra content is definitely some of the best the series has to offer with Dondoko Island being its own little addictive thing and the Sujimon battles. You can easily spend 100 hours with this game and get your moneys worth for sure.
Only the second game with Ichiban as our lead and I love him nearly as much as Kiryu. Love him even more in this game and is such a likable and relatable protagonist. Soo much more I can say but I would surmise this is more than enough reason for you to check out this game!! I need more Like a Dragon friends!! Play these games! You certainly won't regret it! Until next time Ichiban, Bon Voyage!!
