The absolute best game in the series. You don't need to play any of the others to understand anything in this game. Everything is self-contained but if you have played the previous entries, there may be some guest characters that make an appearance. This one is also a turn based RPG compared to the previous entries but I found that refreshing and extremely fun. The closest game I could compare the combat to is South Park the Stick of Truth. This game also is extremely funny in terms of enemy character design and the substories present. This game also includes a free PS5 upgrade. Absolutely buy it!

For starters, this game is technically "Yakuza 7" for people who are not familiar with the Yakuza series. I have played Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1, and Kiwami 2. Like a Dragon keeps the same serious tone of the Yakuza series while implementing more comedic relief than usual compared to previous titles. Like a Dragon implements a new fighting mechanic where it is strictly turn based compared to a classic beat em style of gameplay. Having played previous titles, in my opinion, a turn based fighting mechanic is a refreshing take. Some may be adamant that turn based fighting is outdated in modern gaming that actually led to some reviewing the game less favorably.

However, the game does a good job of keeping things entertaining despite being turn based. One word of warning is that the game follows classic J-RPG mechanics where "grinding" may be necessary to progress forward in the story without being overpowered by enemies. If you are a Trophy hunter, grinding will be something you will be doing often not just for leveling up but also crafting gear for your characters.All in all, the storyline is refreshing with some minor similarities to Kiryu's story in Yakuza 1 in the beginning. As for spoilers, since the game is Yakuza 7, there will be characters/events mentioned in the game that will be relevant to veteran players. Some characters introduced may be a spoiler for players who have not played any Yakuza games before this one. If you plan to play the whole saga, this may be something to think about before starting 7. If you are still in the fence or have never played a Yakuza game, I highly recommend Judgment (cheaper) to introduce you to what Yakuza has to offer. This game is a good starting point but just know the risk of some spoilers in game. You can expect at least 30 hours rushing this game only playing the main storyline with some activities/side stories!

This game is basically Yakuza 7 in the series. However, I understand why Sega opted for the new name is because this game has a brand new protagonist. I was skeptical about Yakuza turned based RPG style at first; however, it is really a well made game. I had a lot of fun playing this game. It seems like the Yakuza franchise has now split into two brands: the action gameplay is now with Judgment, turned based RPG is with Yakuza. I enjoyed Judgment on PS5 a lot. Yakuza Like a Dragon PS4 is also entitled for free upgrade to PS5. Just remember if you started Yakuza on PS4, you can’t carry your save to PS5, and have to start over. I had played over 60 hours on PS4 so I decided not to start over on PS5.

The best Yakuza game so far. Has the engaging story with all the hallmark twist and turns of the Yakuza franchise and another cast of lovable characters for you to root for.The turn-based combat system is refreshingly good after enduring the clunky real-time combat in previous games. Experimenting with the various classes is a ton of fun and each class has unique skills and perks to add variety to the fighting.Graphics are much improved over previous games. The world of Yakuza never looked this good.I greatly enjoyed my time with Yakuza like a Dragon and highly recommend it. The only criticism I have is that it can get a little grindy towards the end game.
After playing Yakuza 0-6 I wasn't sure if I would like the change in gameplay to an RPG, but I was amazed by this game. This is probably one of my favorite job systems I've used. Kasuga, being very expressive, is a great change of pace from Kiryu. There are plenty of side activities still and a very large map. The completion list was changed to a request system that show up later in the game.My only real complaints are that several features aren't available until a few chapters into the campaign: job changing, 'completion list', etc; and how the AI responds to obstacles during combat (they will attempt to take a straight line route to targets and do not navigate around obstructions). The AI will eventually recognize a character is stuck and reposition them, but it ... MoreAfter playing Yakuza 0-6 I wasn't sure if I would like the change in gameplay to an RPG, but I was amazed by this game.

This is the most insanely over the top, ridiculous, fantastic, hilarious game to come out in 2020 and you should buy it.Even if you have never played a Yakuza game before, you should get this. It's that good.It's not a graphic powerhouse or anything, but the game is just plain fun.Combat is turn based which is unlike other Yakuza games, but it works well. Occasionally the environment gets a little annoying ans characters get caught on things briefly, but overall it's a solid battle system.Side Quests are plentiful. There are tons and tons of side quests and they are really great. Who doesn't like feeding people Kimichi and watching what happens? I have found one side quest that I am unable to access for some reason. I can't talk to the person and it won't ... MoreThis is the most insanely over the top, ridiculous, fantastic, hilarious game to come out in 2020 and you should buy it.Even if you have never played a Yakuza game before, you should get this.

You also can do Kart racing, quests where you are the hero for people and run your own business. There is truly a massive amount of side content from the main story.Main story is fun as well. Some nice little twists and turns.I've been playing the game on a Playstation 5 and haven't encountered any issues. Supposedly the PS5 version of this is coming in March 2021. I did read that the saves from the PS4 version won't transfer over for some reason though. So, be aware of that if you anticipate starting it and moving over to the PS5 version. I figure I will be done with it before that version is out so not a big deal to me.Highly recommend this game. If not my favorite, it's definitely near the top.
I was really looking for the ps5 version as it was on sale for 20$ for black friday sold out everywhereThe only one available was the ps4 version for $20After doing a quick Google search i came to realize that all owners who own the ps4 version of yakuza like a dragon are entitled to a free ps5 upgrade after seeing this i quickly went ahead and bought the ps4 version for my ps5 console......i was so close to buying the game digital which the ps store has it for $30 which is 10$ extraIt also came in a steelbook case instead of the plastic regular case it comes withAlso bestbuy as a free gift added an addition free steel book case so now i own 2 steel book cases for this game and if i ever want to buy the ps5 disc version i can put it on the addictional free steel ... MoreI was really looking for the ps5 version as it was on sale for 20$ for black friday sold out everywhereThe only one available was the ps4 version for $20After doing a quick Google search i came to realize that all owners who own the ps4 version of yakuza like a dragon are entitled to a free ps5 upgrade after seeing this i quickly went ahead and bought the ps4 version for my ps5 console......i was so close to buying the game digital which the ps store has it for $30 which is 10$ extraIt also came in a steelbook case instead of the plastic regular case it comes withAlso bestbuy as a free gift added an addition free steel book case so now i own 2 steel book cases for this game and if i ever want to buy the ps5 disc version i can put it on the addictional free steel book case which i would have for both ports ps4 steel book version and ps5 steel book version this is a must buy!
The first mainline Yakuza game without Kiryu and different combat. I was worried that this game would be disappointing because all the mainline games had amazing beat-’em-up combat. Fortunately, the RPG combat is fun and flashy and the new main character Ichiban is a welcome new protagonist to the series. A grip I have with this game is that after 11 the game makes you get 3 million yen which is only really possible through the business mini-game. Other than that the game is really fun.
I just wanna start off this review by saying K have not finished this game. But I have played A LOT of it to have a pretty good opinion on it.Pros•Story-Yakuza stories are always great. Full of humor, action, twists and turns in the narrative. It’s “slow burn” style of plot execution pays off both in short term and long term reveals.•Battle System-Unlike previous Yakuza games, combat takes place in a turn-based JRPG-style of combat. As “weird” as this is to tho k for a series like this, it actually works phenomenal! It’s very quick In terms of animations and how it progresses, and is also easy to pick up and learn.•Trophies/Achievements-Possibly the easiest list of achievements in a Yakuza game to date.

Most are story related and none are about doing the hardcore mini games found in the open world.Cons•The game’s storyline is (at this point of writing, Chapter 4) mostly cutscenes. Yes, there is gameplay sprinkled in here and there, but the game’s narrative and character development in scenes takes center stage. I’d argue though that this structure has always been a Yakuza-focus, but in this one it feels more cutscene than gameplay.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is an amazing reset for the Ryu ga gotoku series. No longer is Kiryu the main protagonist or the gameplay action based. We get a full turned based battle system similar to Dragon Quest! Although this might seem weird at first, it all meshes together quite well. Again, as in previous entries, you get well developed characters and a grandiose story. Some of the story scenarios also play like Japanese TV dramas. You also get to explore a new, enormous city which also returns in Lost Judgement.
