‘Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’ is an odyssey that captures the essence of what makes role-playing games so captivating. It’s a title that shows respect to its roots while boldly forging ahead into new territory.
More importantly, for all of its scope, Infinite Wealth is an absolute joy to play at every moment; nothing is wasted, nothing is throwaway, not one aspect of this game is extraneous and everything there is to do will reward you in some fashion both in terms of gameplay benefit and your experience with the game itself. I’ve only become a fan of the series in recent years but I am a die hard one and y’all, Infinite Wealth is just an absolute blast to play. It’s a privilege to get to experience every new entry in the Like a Dragon series and for my money, Infinite Wealth is by far the best offering yet.
If you've played any of the previous games in the series, you know exactly what you're getting yourself into. Equally, if you've never played one before, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is as polished as the franchise has ever been.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a sequel and a half to Yakuza: Like a Dragon, filled with great content and a very much improved combat system. That said, its narrative frustrated me, the story doesn't really decide what it wants to be or say and it ends up disrespecting its characters and the sacrifices they made throughout the game.

For those who have been following the series, Infinite Wealth manages to be a wealth of infinite nostalgia. Unfortunately, it stumbles in its ambition and forgets its humble origins. More can be good, but it's not always better.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a game that asks a lot of the player even before it begins to reap the most meaningful memory out of it. Having to create an emotional resonance with its characters by playing dozens of hours of its previous entries, patience to understand every game mechanic and grind to be appropriately leveled for each chapter, and attention to properly comprehend each story beat. But, if you are willing to go through all of it to live this epic experience, one of the most impactful stories in gaming awaits.
A game that surprised me every second with its massive scale, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of the most glorious games in the series with its story, gameplay and variety.

I took my time with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s latest entry in the long-running Yakuza franchise. The turned-based combat has greatly improved, the myriad of activities feel endless and entertaining, and the overall story left me teary-eyed and wanting more. I’m now more invested in the series than I ever was thanks to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth with Kasuga leading the charge.
An incredible RPG with a huge amount of content to get through including some great combat and a gripping plot. The following two tabs change content below.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth achieves tremendous success while simultaneously puzzling players with some frustrating decisions. Unlike its predecessor, which welcomed newcomers, Infinite Wealth assumes familiarity with Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Players who haven’t experienced Yakuza 6: Song of Life will miss major plot points, as Infinite Wealth resolves themes and loose ends from that game.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth benefits not only from its novel Hawaii setting, but also from its decision to include dual protagonists. It's not a revolution, but a fantastic game nonetheless.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is many things. It's a sequel that enhances everything that came before it. It's a look back at a series with 19 years of history behind it and a step forward into what the series might become next. It features some of the best gameplay the series has had, adapting the free-flowing beat-em-up style of the original games even more beautifully with a few key adjustments to the RPG format. And it contains so much surprising depth in almost every gameplay system and minigame hidden within. If I had to pick one RPG to take with me to a deserted island, it just might be Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. And for that reason, it gets one of the rarest scores we can give.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of the best adventures in the series. If, like me, you've been dreaming of playing both Ichiban and Kiryu, you won't be disappointed. It's also the title with the most things to do in the entire series. Scenario-wise, it's still high on emotion and full of twists and turns, some more predictable than others. For my part, apart from the main antagonists who are a little less interesting, the game as a whole remains one of the best, if not the best, in the collection to date.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth feels very much like the franchise’s apotheosis; a culmination of everything it’s been building towards while leaving a ton of runway for future entries to build upon.
This game ended with me placing down the controller and reflecting over what had transpired. Something that has excelled in its narrative goals and left me excited for what comes next. For newcomers, both this game and the predecessor Like A Dragon are excellent jumping on points for the series.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a huge title and a breath of fresh air for the series, with gameplay that manages to find the right middle ground between action and turn-based strategy and a new setting full of things to do. A highly recommended title for fans of the series.
