      • Prime Video's Like a Dragon: Yakuza is an admirable effort that is far from the worst video game adaptation. While it's sure to disappoint some fans, the series commits to carving a unique path rather than simply replicating the source material.

  2. A few of them came around after playing Zero/LaD, but I really don't think Kiwami is a good showcase of what Yakuza games are all about.

    No doubt Yakuza was groundbreaking and unique in its time; it did, after all, lay the blueprint of Kamurocho that would sustain the entire series, but it has aged poorly next to its successors. Both narratively and mechanically, the original Yakuza is bit clunkier than what would follow. While the 2016 remake Yakuza: Kiwamimakes some much needed ch...

    There aren't any bad Yakuza games, but some, like the third entry and first PlayStation 3 outing, can certainly be described as "uneven." Yakuza 3shifted the series focus from the bustle of downtown Tokyo and onto a rural orphanage in the Ryukyu Islands. Far from a side-story, this diversion informs the writing of much of the rest of the franchise,...

    Yakuza 2 is one of those sequels that delivers on almost every expectation. In all ways, it is the superior to its predecessor, and it features one of the series' most memorable antagonists. Kiryu Kazuma, who is known as the Dragon of Dojima, must face off against Ryuji Goda, who is known as the Dragon of Kansai. The confrontation between the two n...

    Yakuza 5 is still the most ambitious game in the series. It features five protagonists, five separate city locations to explore, and five distinct playstyles. In addition, the climactic narrative is both the longest and widest in scope of the games to date. The overwhelming scale is impressive, with each character having lengthy sub-narratives tied...

    Yakuza 6, which concluded the story of Kiryu Kazuma in its 28 year entirety, had big shoes to fill. Instead of wrapping up the narrative with a bombastic finale, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio opted instead to tell a quiet, introspective tale that allowed the aging protagonist to reflect on his life. Sure, even the rural streets of Onomichio see some over-th...

    Yakuza 4featured four protagonists compared to its sequel's five, but it avoided the bloat by keeping the story confined to the streets of Kamurocho. Instead of a wide spread, meandering tale, the narrative concerns a tightly written and fast-paced conspiracy through the eyes of four of Kamurocho's citizens. Because each playable character sees and...

    In a startling heel-turn for the series, Yakuza: Like a Dragon swapped genres. No longer are the streets of Japan party to arcade-style brawler combat; in this seventh game inspired by Dragon Quest, turn-based combat is the focus. Impressively, the gameplay loses none of the fast, improvisational cadence of battles in the transition, instead being,...

    Yakuza 0 released late in the series run, but serves as a prequel. Years before any of the drama that would define the life of Kiryu Kazuma, he was a low-level debt collector in Kamurocho. The Tokyo of 1988 is notably different from what is seen in the franchise later, and the time period is recreated in loving detail. Not only is there a lot of jo...

  7. Jan 26, 2024 · If the thought of catching up on eight Yakuza games fills you with dread, Yakuza: Like A Dragon is your next-best starting option. It's very much a clean-break from the mainline Yakuza series and takes place after the events of Yakuza 6.
