Prices subject to change.In 2020, Yakuza: Like a Dragon added some much-needed colour into a franchise built on grey paths splattered with blood. While it traded fistfights and heat actions for turn-based elemental attacks, LaD’s fledgling combat didn’t nail the landing but its heart-wrenching story did.

With protagonist Kazama Kiryu approaching the end of his metaphorical life cycle just as Ichiban Kasuga finds his wings, passing the torch is inevitable. Watching Kiryu learn to lean on new friends and Ichiban track down his past is the last supper of a journey that RGG Studio has been cooking for nearly two decades.In a franchise packed with memorable characters, drip-feeding longtime fans with tributes while catering to an expanding audience isn’t simple.

The best part is that all these activities shape Persona-like bonds between team members, culminating in Drink Link conversations at bars that enhance their combat abilities. The game’s excellent voice acting comes into focus here as two friends share their worries and emotions over a drink. These build on Walk & Talk events that seamlessly fill character-specific Bond Bingo tables as you explore the game’s three massive locations.

Over-the-top tag team attacks and the fan-favourite signature moves sprinkle some spectacle into Infinite Wealth’s battles. Watching Seonhee’s crew snare foes with electric rope darts or Tomizawa leap out of a taxi before an explosion will always leave my face plastered with a grin. Kiryu switching between his three combat styles mid-signature move is another bombastic highlight.
