    Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man who Erased his Name is the second volley in Ryu Ga Gotoku’s year long triple threat (February’s Like a Dragon: Ishin! And January 2024’s Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth are the other prongs of this attack!). While it is not as voluminous as the feudal era title that came before it, I can stay storywise Gaiden is more impactful and frankly I do appreciate its existence (Even though I was squarely in the camp of letting Kiryu walk away into the sunset never to be heard from again…), it lays the groundwork for his participation in the upcoming Infinite Wealth. For fans who have enjoyed any of Kiryu’s adventures you owe it to yourself to take this one on as it further adds to the legend of the Dragon of Dojima…even if that’s not him anymore. Let’s hope nothing bad befalls this man in subsequent titles…hasn’t he suffered enough, perhaps a trip to Hawaii will do him some good!

    Once again, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio gives us a Gaiden game that’s almost as good as the main series titles. The gameplay is spiced up with a few fun gadgets that turn Kazuma Kiryu into a proper secret agent of the 007 caliber. Even though it’s not a main title, The Man Who Erased His Name still has one of the smallest maps in the series and the game itself is a little too short, but is insanely fun nonetheless.
