![]() It's been nearly a decade since Ryu ga Gotoku Ishin! released exclusively in Japan, but RGG Studio has finally brought it over to the West in the form of Like a Dragon: Ishin!, and it does not disappoint. The love and charm of the Like a Dragon franchise is at the core of Ishin!, a fact alone that makes this one of the best games you will play this year.Īlthough Like A Dragon: Ishin is dated in some respects, the gripping drama and spirit of Yakuza makes for an enticing historical fiction. The long overdue samurai spin-off is classic Yakuza under its period dressing but also underwhelming as a current-gen remake. Like a Dragon Ishin! remixes and reintroduces familiar fan favourites in a period piece well worth your time. ![]() While it isn’t the best playing game in the Yakuza series, Ishin remains a a great title and an essential experience for fans.Ĭonsole Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - Recommended Like A Dragon: Ishin! may not be an all-timer for the series, but it's definitely the title with the best vibes. Living out your samurai life is palpable and thoroughly enjoyable as you cut down anyone who stands in your way in engaging combat. Kyoto too is home to some of the better instances of minigames and sub-stories, getting good mileage out of its feudal Japan setting. It's one of the better stories to come from the franchise, with gripping inner and political conflict, where steel collides and wounds (both physical and emotional) cut deep. Players may notice it is the least polished game in the series in some time, and be tested by a slow start to the narrative and rolling out of mechanics to engage in chaotic fun. Like A Dragon: Ishin! has a bit of ironing out to do before it becomes the amazing game it deserves to be. Like a Dragon: Ishin is a stellar period piece filled with melodramatic monologues, great combat, goofy side content, and a whole lot of heart.Ĭheckpoint Gaming - Charlie Kelly - 8 / 10 OpenCritic - 82 average - 92% recommended - 27 reviews Critic ReviewsĪttack of the Fanboy - Diego Perez - 4 / 5
