Nov. 2024

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name felt like a true continuation after the events of Yakuza 6: The Song of Life and I was very happy with the experience as a whole. The game is much shorter than previous Yakuza titles, but I didn't feel like it was lacking anything — it was the perfect length and didn't overstay its welcome, the combat was fun, the story was good, and it felt very reminiscent of the older games in the way it presented itself. The mini games are always enjoyable, but I loved the addition of the Coliseum and putting my team together. I didn't buy the legendary fighter pack, as it's not required to win those battles, and I was still pleasantly surprised by some of the familiar faces throughout the series that joined me. The game itself didn't feel too grindy in my opinion, I actually thought it felt a bit easier than usual...basically everything you do requires money, lots of it, and you can earn more than you'll even know what to do with just by completing the Coliseum fights. I also made it a point to complete all of the available requests through the Akame Network before progressing the story, which I'm sure contributed to it feeling less 'grindy' overall, but I thoroughly enjoyed them because they reminded me a lot of some of the side quests you'd find in Yakuza 0 or Kiwami . The quirkiness and humor were definitely there! As for the story, it was so much better than I expected. It tied all of the events from Yakuza 6 and Like a Dragon (7) , even the transition into Infinite Wealth , together so perfectly. The ending had me in tears...having played all of the previous games that led up to that moment was just an incredible, yet emotional, feeling. I loved every minute of it.

You need to know the entire lore behind the Yakuza games before playing this game, and this is the only game where I say it is mandatory to know the lore. Yakuza Like a Dragon you can go in the game without knowing anything and you'll have a good experience but not with this game. This game has one of the best combat styles in the entire series, pocket racer, and pretty good sub stories. The ending is so good it will break you and make you wanna jump off a roof.

This game is the like a dragon that happens between the end of 6 and the middle of 7. To fully understand and attach to Kiryu, some other characters in the game and the story, I recommend you to play Yakuza 0-6 in order first, then come back and buy this game after you finish. Like basically every Yakuza game, it has very good story development and it really does a very good job immersing into the game world and it's characters. One of the most notable feature in the game is the ability to change kiryu clothes in game (in the previous games u could only do it with mods or in premium adventure after you finish the game) Even though the game is quite short (only 5 chapters compared to around 15 chapters in previous games), it felt complete and it acts as a very good bridge besides Yakuza 6 and LAD. However, side content (aka Akame requests if you plan to get to max level) takes pretty long, and all the other activities are pretty fun and re playable. The combat system is new and is also fun to use and play with. Also congrats to Kson for getting into the game and being an in game hostess, i know how much you simp for kiryu-chan. In karoake, the song "tonight"'s cinematic is also finally animated instead of just being static images in Kiwami, Kiwami 2 and 6.

If you've not played the previous Yakuza games then don't buy this! Buy Yakuza 0 and if you love that you're in for a treat - there's so many games to play before you get here and by the time you get here the price for the game will be much lower!

coming from an RGG fan, it has amazing storytelling, very smooth and fun combat, and the dragon engine feels some of the best it ever has!! however, i STRONGLY advise anybody wanting to get into the yakuza/like a dragon series to NOT play this game. it is arguably the worst starting point and it spoils the past mainline games. this is supposed to be kiryu's last game as the main protagonist and starting with gaiden is like skipping to the last chapter of a book. not to mention this game is a direct sequel to yakuza 6 and overlaps with yakuza: like a dragon. i'd recommend starting with yakuza 0 and working your way up so you'll really understand kiryu's hardships, his whole journey, and the stakes at hand.
