Sega’s Yakuza collection has grown in reputation lately. The primary recreation, Yakuza, was launched in 2005. Many sequels and spinoffs adopted, however the collection grew to become a mega-hit within the U.S. with 2016’s Yakuza 6: The Music of Life. The most recent installment of the franchise, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, options Kazama Kiryu teaming up with Ichiban Kasuga, a frizzy-haired himbo with a coronary heart of gold and a Dragon Warrior obsession.
The Yakuza collection is hard-hitting but additionally very foolish. Along with the sport’s street-brawling mechanics and RPG components, Kazama and Ichiban struggle perverts, rescue runaway wigs, foil serial urinators, homicide karaoke machines, and spend far an excessive amount of yen on Gotcha machines. The sport consists of mini-games to spice up character stats and introduce hijinks to an in any other case “serious” plot about loyalty, honor, and overcoming adversity in a metropolis attempting to kill you. The most recent entry, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, is a delight. I’m in the course of enjoying it now, and I’m having a blast! It’s unclear if Prime Video’s Like a Dragon: Yakuza collection will carry the identical tone because the video games, however I hope it does to some extent.
