    Like a Dragon might not be what you’d expect from a next-generation launch title, but then the Xbox Series X isn’t always what you’d expect from a next-generation console. While the hardware power isn’t in doubt, at this point, it serves more as a performance boost than a paradigm shift. From that point of view, Like a Dragon is a great game to have available on day one. It’s a fresh take on the Yakuza series, it’ll keep you occupied for a long time, and it runs better than ever before.

I hope in the future Yakuza games can improve thier representation for marginalized groups, however the attempt to dive into issues like sex work and immigration is a really good start, that's the only negative thing I can say about it… Full Review »
