It is insane to me that RGG can cook up such a memorable and important title such as this in 6 months just because they wanted to expand upon Kiryu's escapades between Yakuza 6 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon.

This while on paper may sound like a quick cash grab title that RGG came up with to fill up their release schedule it ends up being one of the most important Like A Dragon games they have ever constructed, Expanding on the complexity of Kiryu's character even further and giving the character a sendoff that is filled to the brim with fanfare and homages to the series in general.

Like A Dragon: Gaiden gives Kiryu access to the Agent style which just shows how comfortable RGG is with constructing newer and much more innovative ways for players to interface with the 3rd person brawler format the series had become known for.
