Like a Dragon Gaiden continues my journey through the series. This year I have already completed Like a Dragon Ishin, a game that made me really appreciate the beauty of the fighting style of Yakuza. Unfortunately, I have to say that I didn't have as much fun as I was hoping for with the combat style of this episode. Maybe because it's a "smaller" spin-off, maybe because fighting with a sword was so DAMN fun in the other game, but unfortunately the fights in this game are neither memorable or hard. Heck, even Amon, the secret boss of every Yakuza game, was weird and required me to "cheat" my way to victory using only special moves.

But it is not all negative under the sun: the game story is involving, the acting as always over the top (just like we love it), the side activities once again NEED to be studied by other developers for their games because they are deep as an entire game (I of course finished all the races in the Pocket Circuit minigame, who do you think are you talking to?).

If you can play this game on Game Pass is a MUST, if you can get it for a bit cheaper is highly recommended. We love you Kiryu... I mean, Joryu
