Yakuza: Like a Dragon

"So much has changed in the last twenty years since I've been in prison." Stops by arcade, plays the same Virtua Fighter and Outrun machines that were in the arcade two decades ago. "So much." Eats a meal at the exact same restaurants. "The world's sure moved on." 10/10 game, still the best "do a bunch of crap to support my claw game habit" sim out there, want to squish the bespectacled nurse's cheeks, perfect game, no notes.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon was a fantastic game with an equally fantastic story. The shift from the traditional real-time combat to a turn-based RPG system was a major change for the series, but it worked surprisingly well and added a fresh dynamic to the overall gameplay. Despite the change in pace, the game still maintained the humor, emotion, exploration, and personality that make the Yakuza series so enjoyable. What really made the experience stand out, though, was Ichiban Kasuga. He is an incredibly likable protagonist whose optimism, loyalty, and genuine personality make it easy to become invested in his journey. His story, along with the memorable cast of characters surrounding him, gave the game a great balance of comedy, drama, and heartfelt moments, making *Yakuza: Like a Dragon* one of the most refreshing and memorable entries in the series.

My favorite entry in Yakuza series. It's the one I've started with (on accident), but as bob ross say's, theres ... something something there's happy accidents. And boy oh boy, I do love Ichiban saga! Absolute banger, totally worth to play it. Still doubting whether pirate the game or not play it? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GO OUT AND PLAY IT!!! JRPG turn based combat was abit not my cup of tea, but honesly speaking, with getting into the story, how good and interesting it is, turn based combat changed for me from "alright, guess I'll bear trough it for the sake of story", but for me it's actually a pleasant gimmick. If you still don't like turn based combat, download a mod by the name "Like a brawler" that makes combat to be just like in any other yakuza game!
