This is my Paper Mario: Sticker Star moment.

I LOVE the main Yakuza games! I've been binging them throughout the pandemic, and when Like a Dragon came to Game Pass, I decided to skip ahead and see what it was like. The story and characters are absolutely phenomenal, and and side quests are zany as ever.

But this turn based combat? I just cannot get into it.

After about 12 hours with Like a Dragon, I found myself dreading every fight. I just wanted them to be over so I could get back to the rest of the game. And honestly, it's not worth playing through a game if I can't stand a core mechanic.

I'm sorry, Ichiban. Looks like I'm gonna have to hope Judgment has got me covered.
