In any case, Ichiban bore his means into our hearts in 2020. Jeff Cork reviewed Like a Dragon and stated:

As a lot as I loved the Yakuza system, it was positively a system. Like a Dragon has sufficient acquainted parts to make it really feel like, at its coronary heart, it is a Yakuza recreation. All of the whereas, I totally appreciated how a lot of a brand new id this entry is establishing. This is hoping this is step one in one more nice journey for the collection.”
I am excited to see Ichiban’s subsequent journey, whether or not it is a numbered entry within the franchise or not.
