Yakuza: Like a Dragon

As crazy as the Yakuza series goes, but with a bew potag and swesome turn based system!

Great game, played it initially on PS4 and now again on PC. Different from the other Yakuza's because of it's turn based combat just as equally enjoyable if you're willing to try it. Worth to get especially with the discount (depending on when u see this). Thanks Fanatical

The game is worth the money and is good continuation to the series

This is a hodgepodge open world game with an emphasis on being a jrpg with turn-based combat. A member of the yakuza is imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit because the family wanted the protagonist, named Ichiban Kasuga, to take the fall for someone higher on the ladder. Twenty years later when the main character gets out of prison his yakuza clan attempts to murder him when he tries to get back in touch. The plot of the game meanders in the middle, but toward the end Ichiban learns why his family is now hostile to him. The introduction of the Geomijul was poorly thought out. The middle introduces party members, and has Ichiban living day by day being unemployed, where his temporary jobs have him realizing criminal conspiracies like this is secretly a money laundering scheme. There is also some inspiration from the novel Coin Locker Babies. This game was most likely inspired by Persona 5 with the personality stats, the friendship levels, the improved darts minigame, and the movie theater. You can give certain female characters flowers as well. Survive Bar is totally not Café Leblanc. A big boon for me was the improved minigames compared to Yakuza 0 particularly batting and darts are flat out upgraded. A decent criticism people have for the game is that the combat isn't as strategic as other jrpgs. At least toward the end of the game there are strategic decisions on which party members to use what accessories are best to equip. A solution to appease these people might be to remove job experience in order to facilitate some strategy involving reclassing to prepare for certain boss fights or dungeons and impose a limit of having all jobs be varied because reclassing everyone to an ice mage for a boss weak to ice wouldn't make for thought provoking strategy. The portrayal of the proprietor of Otohimeland has also been criticized because his kind actions happen offscreen and after his death, while onscreen he is shown to be needlessly cruel to his employees.
