    Like A Dragon: Ishin! is the best opportunity to enjoy one of the most obscure deliveries that never reached our borders. [Recommended]

    The long overdue samurai spin-off is classic Yakuza under its period dressing but also underwhelming as a current-gen remake.

    As fascinated as I am by the main story unfolding across Ishin’s cutscenes, I’m doubtful this is a game I will or should stick with. I don’t really want to play more of this game, I just want to know what is going to happen in the next set of cutscenes.

    Charging for a difficulty setting is despicable. Is this going to be the new standard for the Yakuza Franchise? If so they just lost a long time fan.
