Like a Dragon Gaiden: "The Man Who Erased His Name" is a captivating and emotional look at Kiryu’s life that offers a ‘greatest hits’ of the series gameplay The game was first released on November 9, 2023.

The game’s protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, is a legend who we thought had wrapped up with Yakuza 6: The Song of Life However, this game proves that there’s still so much more to Kiryu’s legacy The game is noticeably shorter than previous entries but it is a tight package that’s akin to a ‘greatest hits’ for the franchise.

The game acts as a middle chapter that flows into the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the 2020 RPG starring Kasuga Ichiban as the protagonist It leads directly into the upcoming Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, which has Ichiban and Kiryu teaming up

The real-time brawler combat returns with Kiryu as the leading man the new Agent fighting style adds enough to freshen up fights by giving Kiryu some James Bond-esque gadgets.

As you progress in the main story, you’ll gradually unlock abilities like drones that swarm and chip away at enemies, rocket boosters on his shoes that let Kiryu jet around combat encounters and plow through bad dudes, and explosive cigarettes that act as a grenade to blast away mobs.

Despite the fact that Kiryu is about as good at remaining undercover as my feet are on a hot summer’s night, what follows is yet another tense tale of modern Japanese crime with all the generous helpings of betrayals and brutal murder we’ve come to expect from this series.

The game builds towards a customary climax where everyone angrily rips their shirts off and you’re going toe-to-toe with a burly boss who’s packing more health bars than a bodybuilder’s gym bag.

In conclusion, “Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Can’t Escape the Yakuza” is a game that hits with flash and fury and its story is sharp However.

its setting and side activities feel a bit on the stale side. Despite these minor issues, the game is a must-play for any fan of the Yakuza series and I felt many of the fighting scenes is repeatable.

the game also available for Xbox game pass subscribers.
