Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii delivers a great pirate adventure for the series, with the spotlight once again shining on Goro Majima. The reworked gameplay to the action-brawler formula makes the game feel more fun than ever before. And while it sounds like a small change, adding a jump button to combat is a game changer to gameplay that lets players do sweet air combos on enemies like Majima is Dante from Devil May Cry. The new style, Sea Dog in combat, is astounding, letting you juggle multiple enemies, making the game feel like you’re playing a Yakuza-themed Dynasty Warriors game.
Even with just being the first part of a remake, Tsukihime -A Piece of Blue Glass Moon- might be one of, if not the best, visual novel games currently Out there. It's a fantastic remake and a great entry point for TYPE-Moon newcomers.
SaGa Emerald Beyond is a challenging throwback that hardcore veteran players will feel right at home with.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is not just Ichiban's best game yet, but so far, it may be my favourite in the series, hands down.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is Kiryu's best adventure yet, thanks to a narrative that actively explores the Dragon of Dojima's character depth in a tearjerker of an ending, alongside fun and engaging gameplay and tons of side content.
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails is an enjoyable entry with a well-paced narrative, fantastic world-building that pays off in a big way, and gameplay that brings a new level of fun to the formula by going all in on Ys-like action rather than the turn-based that the series is known for.
The Legend of Heroes – Trails into Reverie is a brilliant finale serving nearly two decades of storytelling and worldbuilding.
Ravenlok isn’t an enjoyable experience but not because it’s a bad game, more so it’s hard to want to invest your time into.
The Legend of Heroes – Trails to Azure is a fantastic and bold sequel that easily surpasses its predecessor while hammering down on character development.
