Ryoma Sakamoto, the man who rewrote history with his sword.
No "Like A Dragon" game is complete without it's many substories, plot twists, and action movie-style cliches. Was really excited to play the new installment, however, when I ended up starting my journey I started to have issues taking this spinoff seriously at all. It is difficult to be immersed into the characters and stories when I know these characters and mannerisms as others in the canon Like a Dragon universe. It is confounding because I honestly do not know if it could be as good without these great performances, especially with Takaya Kuroda killing it as always. Fortunately, it did not take me long to adapt to it and get invested in the story which seems to suffer from a bit of a slow start but kicks into gear after a few chapters.
Great beat-em-up gameplay with the new editions of the upgradeable weapons and crafting system. The world and environment are as vibrant and lively as ever. This is one gorgeous-looking game especially crossing the bridges and seeing all the scenery and water surrounding Kyo.
Swordplay is really nice against many bosses and the final climactic battles are always one hell of a ride. Definitely a must-play for die-hard fans of the series with a plethora of side content and mini-games to enjoy. I put 59 hrs in and ended up only completing 19%.
Sing some Baka Mitai and watch Ryoma's story unfold. Hopefully, we will eventually get Kenzan as well, I really wanna get my hands on that one now!

Yeah, this series is definitely one of those I like to buy on launch, I fell in love with the series when I first played Yakuza 3 for the PS3. It is good to wait for some sales as well. They have always been wonderful games with great stories and I love how they handle the conflicts and boss fights, get me hyped up everytime. It seems like this series has gotten a huge surge in popularity as well which I love so I definitely think we will get Kenzan eventually. My biggest controversial opinion with this series is the fact that they are starting to do English dubs now with the newer installments and I kind of think it’s unnecessary, but I do get it.

Positive reviews need to highlight this game because everyone who played it saw more good things than bad.
