REVIEW: Yakuza: Like A Dragon is a Number One Game

Yakuza: Like A Dragon is an action role-playing game developed and published by Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio. The Yakuza series is one of the most recognizable franchises in games, without a doubt. A lot of that comes from the tried-and-true mechanics the team at Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku perfected over Yakuza’s storied 15-year history.  So, when it was announced that Sega’s newest entry would be an overhaul of the gameplay mechanics and introduce a turn-based battle system, I was apprehensive. However, not only is Yakuza: Like A Dragon a great addition to the collection, it is a kickass turn-based RPG that will appeal to even the most devout fans.

Yakuza: Like A Dragon has that in spades and more. The turn-based battle system was an absolute hit and an amazing refresh of the series I did not know I needed. Ichiban Kasuga is a worthy successor to the legacy Kiryu created, and his journey makes the story just as enthralling as any entry in the series. I entered this experience with an anxiousness never experienced before. What ensued was one of the best JRPGs from this console generation and one of the best Yakuza games of all-time. I implore fans, or anyone curious about the series, to play this game as soon as possible. It truly is number one.
