Like a Dragon: Gaiden serves as the poignant finale to the legacy built over the years. Initially skeptical about revisiting Kiryu post-Yakuza 6's conclusion, I found it hard to fully immerse myself initially. However, my initial reservations were pleasantly shattered as the game unfolded, culminating in a deeply moving finale.
While not my favorite in the series, Gaiden has its strengths, boasting a stunning combat system and a flawless final boss, surpassing even Aizawa from Yakuza 5. Despite some missing or less appealing elements, the game stands as a solid entry.
I'm thrilled that this game exists, providing an incredible conclusion to a marvelous story. Like a Dragon 8 seems poised to mark the beginning of a new era for the series, and I can't wait to see where the journey takes us.

Journey is an exceptional game with stunning art and sound. It's like no other game I've played. The visuals and music create an immersive experience based on emotions and atmosphere.
What's even more special is how Journey welcomes unconventional gameplay. Glitches and out-of-bounds exploration add a layer of uniqueness to the game. Introducing these aspects to new players and observing their reactions is an absolute delight. It keeps the game exciting, even after multiple playthroughs.
Each fellow traveler you meet in the game plays differently, making every adventure one-of-a-kind. These interactions, often silent due to the absence of traditional communication, speak volumes about the power of human connection in gaming.
In short, Journey is a testament to the artistic and experiential potential of video games. It's not just a game; it's an emotional journey that leaves a lasting impact. With its exceptional art, sound, unconventional gameplay, and unique player interactions, Journey is without a doubt the most unique game I've ever had the pleasure of playing in my life.

Please, give this a chance.
I've seen so many people saying this game should be avoided just because Kiwami 1 exists, please don't.
The only thing that Kiwami adds over this is the Nishiki's corruption arc, but other than that they are pratically the same thing story wise. Leaving the story aside, in this version there are many details that for one reason or another there are not in the remake, details that I really appreciated and I think every fan of the series will also appreciate.
If you are a true fan of the series do not skip this game just because "there is a remake" (remake that reuses at least 80% of Y0's assets LMAOO), despite everything this is still an extremly valid gaming experience. please give it a chance.
