"Oh Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is JUST a small side-game we made in like 2 hours. Don't expect anything much lol" - RGG Studio, 2022

RGG Studio lied as naturally as they breathed

+ Best Coliseum/Arena in ANY RGG game. You can play as a chicken, goat, giant baby, ninja, robot with chainsaw, etc.
+ Best OST in ANY RGG game. That Final Boss theme slaps HARD
+ Best Final Boss of all time. Maybe on par with Yakuza 5 and I'm not joking.
+ Arguably the best Kiryu Joryu combat in Dragon Engine. Juggling enemies are so fun while using gadgets Amon-style.
+ You wanted more from Yakuza 6 as a swansong to Kiryu? Well here you go. When they announced this I was like "oh c'mon y'all are ruining the ending of 6" but now that I've played it, damn I am happy Gaiden exists. That ending alone is a MUST SEE.
+ Akame

I recommend Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name to all RGG fans. It is a MUST-PLAY after Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon and especially if you love Kiryu. I would love to see more of the Gaiden format in future titles (Bring Shinada back you cowards)

4.5/5
