Felt a little disillusioned with the series after really enjoying 0, but not enjoying any of the other games afterward, mostly because of the combat. Like a Dragon is the first time I’ve really enjoyed a Yakuza game again to actually want to complete the majority of side content, largely because the combat - while perhaps a little bit weirdly balanced (Head Trauma my beloved) - is so much more fun to me. Kasuga’s also a fantastic protagonist and absolutely worthy of his status as the series’ new protagonist, especially since he’s a Dragon Quest fan, which is unfathomably based. This makes me really excited for Like a Dragon’s future.
