When I first saw Yakuza: Like a Dragon being advertised, I knew very little about the Yakuza series but found myself curious to know more. Let me start by saying this is not only the third console I have acquired this game for (after Xbox and PS5), it is also the third time I have completed this game with all achievements. I can only hope that RGG Studios has learned from this and will provide an even tighter experience when developing Yakuza Yakuza: Like a Dragon Directly Download Still, this is the first game in the Yakuza series that was presented as a full JRPG as opposed to the classic beat-em-up formula, so it makes sense that there would still be some mechanical issues and hiccups here and there. It’s definitely an enjoyable experience, don’t get me wrong, but it was a bit abrupt. Given that the game’s main story campaign takes place over the course of 15 chapters, I wonder if this was perhaps an attempt to amp up the difficulty before the end.
It’s around Chapter 12 that the game suddenly undergoes an intense spike in both difficulty and enemy level that took me by surprise, and I’m sure most other players as well. The first several chapters are a bit of a slow burn, especially as the setting and characters are established, but maintains a pretty decent pace from Chapters 6-11. My other main criticism has to do with the game’s pacing and overall balance. Though the job system does encourage experimentation to see what builds work best for each character, I often found there was a lot of overlap between job skills and not enough unique skills that made each character stand out. That being said, there is definitely room for improvement, particularly when it comes to the implementation and layout of different skills that the characters use. The job system is pretty clever, as is the way it’s weaved into the narrative. There’s also a good deal of minigames that are implemented brilliantly (the business management mode and kart racer in particular really stand out). The gameplay itself is fairly basic as far as your standard JRPG goes. Take up your legendary bat and get ready to crack some underworld skulls in dynamic RPG combat set against the backdrop of modern-day Japan. Yakuza: Like a Dragon 🙂 – Become Ichiban Kasuga, a low-ranking yakuza grunt left on the brink of death by the man he trusted most.
