RPG not a brawler, my favorite game of 2020

RPG not a brawler, my favorite game of 2020
Before you buy this game, know what you’re buying. The only people who don’t love this game are those who didn’t know that this masterpiece is an homage, a love letter, a tribute to the classic RPGs of the 80’s and 90’s. The title Like a Dragon should make it obvious to its intent as the main protagonist Ichiban Kasuga equates a fair bit of his world to Dragon Quest. The execution of making Yakuza an turn based RPG is absolutely brilliant. From job classes to even summons... this is easily the most creative crossover I’ve ever seen pulled off. Seriously, it amazes me how they can keep a turn based battle system so fluid. The camera and characters stay in motion as if the were sizing up their next action and it gives a very nice continuity to what used to be such a rigid combat system.As for the story, don’t let any notion that this is just a cute tribute fool you. This story is just as devastating l, touching, and outlandishly hilarious as previous Yakuza games. This is/was my favorite game of 2020, and Ichiban might arguably be my favorite protagonist in not just the Yakuza series, but in RPGs in general. Honestly, as long as you know what you’re buying, this is one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played. And if you’re a fan of Dragon Quest and/or Final Fantasy I-IX, this is an absolute must own.

5.0 out of 5 stars What you expect and not expect from the Yakuza series, but still awesome
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2021
Platform: PlayStation 4Edition: Day IchiVerified Purchase
I have been playing video games for over 30 years, and RPGs are typically my favorite genre. I have also played nearly all the US releases of the Yakuza series (Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1 and 2, the originally released Yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6, and even Dead Souls). I have either platinumed or played at least 150 hrs on every iteration. Yakuza 4 and 5 are probably my favorites out of the bunch. I still haven't played Judgment, mainly because the main character, Kiryu, was not involved (I know that sounds ridiculous, but it's not Ryu ga Gotoku without him). Similarly, I was hesitant to pick up Like a Dragon because of the absence of Kiryu and because of the different play style, which is more turn-based traditional JRPG style vs. the previous action-RPG type.

However, I want this game to get more attention and praise, because I absolutely loved this game. Sega needs to support this studio, and they need to continue their games. The play style is easy to understand, there's no Final Fantasy style ATB charges or confusing enemy staggering guidelines. The game tries to mimic the simpler straightforward Dragon Quest-like gameplay (which is also referenced frequently throughout the game and a ton of grinding). The item acquisition and upgrade logic is also pretty straightforward (though requires a lot of in-game currency), and there aren't any convoluted side-quests that need to be accomplished. In all honesty, the gameplay is almost too simplistic. But it is addictive because of its ease and simplicity.

The characters caught me by surprise, as I didn't think I'd like them so much, particularly the main character Kasuga Ichiban, who is very different than Kiryu. But in general, all the playable characters (as well as a couple of the NPCs) are extremely likeable. The story itself is also much easier to follow than Kiryu's Yakuza series, which oftentimes are littered with betrayals, rival gangs, multiple backstories, and whatnot (basically, soap operas). So newcomers should not have a problem following the content.

Most of the minigames are still there, which are always great (I even learned how to play most of them, but I am still very confused by Pachinko and Shogi). And like every Yakuza game, there are side-job type games. One of the biggest differences though is actually the "adult" content, which has been very toned down here. The previous Yakuza games were more apparent in the red-light type of activities (e.g., saunas, videos, dating, etc.). The dating and hostess bar aspects are still here, but they are much more graphically toned-down versions compared to Kiryu's Yakuza. This is neither a complaint nor a praise, but to each their own...

Lastly, newcomers should be able to enjoy this game thoroughly, but there are so many easter eggs, cameos, and references to the past series that very much made me embrace this game even more. There are several moments that really pulled on my emotions purely out of nostalgia. Yakuza 4 and 5 are still my favorites in the series, but LAD is easily just beneath them.

If you're even remotely interested in the Yakuza series, or enjoy RPG's, get this game. Support Ryu Ga Gotoku studios and Sega.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Incredible (no spoilers)
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2021
Platform: PlayStation 4Edition: Day IchiVerified Purchase
First off, a clarification: this is an *extremely* talky game. It's cutscene heavy, the cutscenes linger on small things, and in the opening chapters you'll go like fifteen minute stretches between touching the controller.

I think in anything else this would bother me, but Yakuza Like A Dragon is Guy Ritchie's Earthbound.

The characters are sharp. The storytelling is strong. The content of the game is absolutely buckwild. And it does all this against a modern backdrop of economic struggle that feels more grounded than anything else I've ever played.

Yes, this is a game that revels in absolute nonsense, but also when it takes a minute to be serious, it hits like a gut punch.

I'm talking around the story because I don't want to spoil any of the beats, but if you've enjoyed the stories in any of the other Yakuza games, this one's a little heavier. I don't think it'll put Yakuza fans off, and there *are* plenty of references to the other games, and the substories pull off some excellent comedy. The line between old-timer friendly and newcomer friendly is tight, but I do think this game walks it, and you can play it as your first entry into the series.

RPG-mechanics-wise, Like A Dragon doesn't feel perfectly flat, but this might be where it's weakest. It's trying something new, and it's putting all its effort into not screwing up, and I think it does that but at the expense of really shining. My socks haven't been knocked off by the combat system, but battles are still fun, and the minigames and subsystems are a blast.

Overall, if you like rpgs, you like extremely human stories, you like gonzo weirdness, or you just like the Yakuza series, give this a try.

Chrono Trigger's been my number one favorite rpg for like twenty years, and this thing just unseated it, so yeah. Strong recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bright spot in 2020
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2021
Platform: PlayStation 4Edition: Day IchiVerified Purchase
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 trigger the quest. Seems bugged, but everything else has been fine. 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 2021 at some point, but no firm date. 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. Might be my favorite game that came out in 2020. If not my favorite, it's definitely near the top.

5.0 out of 5 stars Primeras Impresiones, Comentadas por un Fan de Yakuza
Reviewed in Mexico on November 15, 2020
Platform: PlayStation 4Edition: Day IchiVerified Purchase
Por que empezar por este Yakuza, el cuál es la 7ma entrega numerada (al menos en japón) como tu primer Yakuza? Bueno pues...

Nuevo prota, nuevos personajes alrededor de el, el segundo juego de la saga subtitulado al español! Y te da a elegir en doblaje Japonés o Inglés. Pero créanme que jugarlo en su idioma original, en japonés, es un deleite.

Con gusto recomendaría a todos los interesados en Yakuza que jugaran toda la saga. Tienen unas historias brutales, emotivas, a lo mejor un poco confusas en la 4ta y 5ta entrega, y tambíen tienen las mejores misiones secundarias en los juegos. La comedia es muy buena y cuando son misiones secundarias serias, son muy emotivas, siempre otorgándote una lección en la vida.

Ahora, Like a Dragon es un RPG por turnos, de hecho tiene mucha inspiración en Dragon Quest y Persona, los personajes se mueven mucho y tienen habilidades como que retorcidas, osea si tienes a un miembro en tu equipo que actua como "mago negro", en lugar de lanzar un rayo, te lanza migajas de pan y luego las palomas golpean a tu enemigo, como ejemplo. O para bajar la defensa de un enemigo, uno de tus miembros lo hace con su mal aliento de vagabundo. Son muy creativos con ello. Los juegos anteriores eran Brawler, osea con ciertas combinaciones de botones peleabas ante hordas de enemigos y eras todo un Badass, aquí lo haces por turnos ya que el protagonista lo vee todo como si fuera un RPG

Ichiban Kasuga, el prota, es demasiado Identificable con uno, es un tonto carismático, fuerte y con un honor alto. Creo que comparado a Kazuma Kiryu, el prota del resto de la saga, es un excelente personaje (al menos hasta donde he jugado), es tan diferente a el que lo hace único y como algo fresco en la saga.

Creo que es el perfecto Yakuza para empezar, sobretodo por la barrera del idioma Japonés e Inglés, ahora en español, nueva saga básicamente, muy buen humor, la historia hasta ahorita me ha enganchado bastante, y otro punto positivo es que como es un RPG, no sólo tienes a Ichiban, si no a otros miembros del equipo con sus personalidades muy buenas y sus historias aún por desenvolver.

Por cierto hice preventa del título y me llegó 1 día después del lanzamiento, no me quejo, llegó en excelentes condiciones.
