This game was a bit of shock, as I did not necessarily have any interest in this game at first. I played it mainly because my friend group are huge Yakuza fans. After playing Yakuza 0, and mainly playing for the side content, I wasn’t too eager to hop in. But after finishing Like a Dragon, it really hit that Dragon Quest itch, while also being unique in its own to stand out from other RPG’s. Combat is fast, and the animations/style of the moves doesn’t make the battles become stale quickly. Each of the characters are a treat to hang out and talk to, with some highlights for me being Ichiban, Adachi and Zhao. Only complaints I really have is that this is another RPG that has a huge level spike in it around the half way mark, with the game basically telling you that you have to grind. It brings the story to a halt, in favor of having you fight more normal enemies for about another hour or two. This is also a complaint that I had with Yakuza 0 also but the movement in small places or making small adjustments still feels really clunky. But overall, recommend this game for any RPG fan.
