I love Kiryu-chan and I'm so glad this isn't his final appearance in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, one of the top characters in all of gaming. I'm thoroughly excited to dive into Like a Dragon Gaiden after diving into Yakuza 7, and subsequently diving into Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth in January. Oh and I can't forget diving into Lost Judgment after I dive into Judgment. RGG gamers, we are so back.

This game is pure art. From the mysterious alien setting, to the atmospheric sound effects and music; both work hand in hand to create the perfect backdrop for this amazing game.
Playing in 1080p felt like I was playing in 4K and the fluid animation further enforces how great this game looks. Being able to carry around these orbs and travel between them creates such a cool dynamic with some cool paradox moments. Before collecting each orb, you're faced with a boss to defeat. I was genuinely blown away by how unique and engaging each one was for a puzzle game. The fidelity in this game is insane.
I was surprised to find myself never getting stuck exploring in this game which just goes to show how great the level design is. It's a great balance of leading you where to go but never holding your hand. Solving puzzles just flows so naturally and using music queues to let you know you're on the right path was a great treat.
Once again, my only complaint with these games are how short they are. But this game is all killer no filler, which I can appreciate. This year has been pretty generous with the amount of puzzle games but this is without a doubt my favourite in terms of overall package.
