“It takes a lot of guts to take a series that used to be niche such as Yakuza and put an entirely new spin on it but that is exactly what Sega did back with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. In 2020 the series shifted focus from everyone’s favorite Dragon of Dojima to the far less serious seeming Ichiban Kasuga but not only that, it also dropped the high-impact action combat in favor of a robust turn-based battle system featuring a wide-variety of jobs and a party of characters. This shift from action to classic turn-based style combat was as much of a shock to Yakuza fans as Dead Souls back in 2012 and could have turned out terrible, but this gamble not only was a success it saw the franchise reach new heights. Now four years later here we are with the continuation of Ichiban’s story in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth in a game that more than lives up to its name.”
