It's insane that all of these games are made by one team. In less than three months Infinite Wealth is out. At one point they were recording dialogue for the Like A Dragon remake, the 8th game and this at the same time. They got confused what game they were recording dialogue for. I glad it feels more than just a prologue for the 8th game.

Just over the last three years, they released Yakuza Like a Dragon (2020), Lost Judgment (2021), Like a Dragon Ishin! (2023), Like a Dragon Gaiden (2023), and just three months later Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth (2024). That's five games over the course of three years, give or take. No other AAA studio has released that many good games in such a short timeframe, yet RGG doesn't get enough recognition for that.

According to Yokoyama it took them only 6 months to make this game, as it is the same team that does Infinite Wealth, and I guess it was just part of the development of the game.

10:00 I had to laugh here because that's exactly how Kir-uh, "Joryu" is. Throughout every single game, he's that guy who seems reluctant to do anything but when coaxed, does it with so much effort and determination that he knocks whatever he's doing out of the park. He's the epitome of "If you're gonna do it, do it right". Anyways this looks awesome. Gonna be a definite buy from me. I just completed all of the Yakuza games starring Kiryu, (half way through Like a Dragon; will definitely be done with that before Infinite Wealth comes along to continue Ichiban's story) so this came pretty much just in time.

I've been really excited to play this game ever since I first heard about it. It's not officially a Yakuza game, but it's close enough. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio are always consistent with their releases and Like A Dragon Gaiden The Man Who Erased His Name follows the same trend. It presents the same level of enjoyable and over the top combat and silliness that's present in the Yakuza franchise, which is perfectly fine with me. Kazuma Kiryu is back, albeit under a different name. However, unfortunately, the game is only available digitally in North America, which means that I'll have to buy it from PlayAsia in order to get a physical copy. Thanks, Karak! As always, I appreciate the honest, unbiased, and detailed review! God bless and stay safe!
