Hilarious to me that right as the Yakuza games started to pop off outside of Japan they changed the name to Like a Dragon. This title is, at times, the most fun game I've played in the series. The combat is great, particularly the Wild Dancer tree. More games should let you use a sword and gun at the same time. But Ishin definitely feels like a PS2 game at its core, and I don't think the setting really works for me. It felt much more bland compared to the active city life of the modern day titles. And the pacing is downright glacial for quite a while, which is pretty par for the course in this series but it felt even slower this time. A fun experience but definitely lower in my series ranking.
