    If you're a fan of the Yakuza series you will enjoy this. I never played the original but i enjoyed the remake. Four different attack styles and plenty of upgrades to personalize your style. The plot is interesting. Performance is good and I didn't have any technical issues, which is amazing these days. I would have liked there to be more voice acting and I am not a fan of bloatedIf you're a fan of the Yakuza series you will enjoy this. I never played the original but i enjoyed the remake.

    I really got what I was expecting. Very similar to other Yakuza games except for the setting. Finished all of the substories and then main story. 60 hours well spent.

    In the end, Like a Dragon: Ishin is yet another strong entry in an exceptionally strong series, finally having been translated into English and lovingly reworked for the current generation almost a decade after its initial release. The combat’s showing its age around the edges and there are other minor quibbles to be sure, but this is still a trip to the past that’s well worth taking.

    A great addition to any fan’s game collection, and sure to turn the heads of newcomers looking for some samurai action.

    I am a big fan of the Yakuza series and Like a Dragon Ishin! has all the qualities that you would expect from a game in this series. It looks and feels like a modern game but certain aspects do remind you that you are playing a remake of an older game. For those new to the series this is a great one to jump into as it’s disconnected story-wise from the Yakuza thread. There is so much content to enjoy and the different combat styles keep things fresh even if the story doesn’t feel too fresh.
