Impactful combat with fluid mechanics
Entertaining mini-games and side content
Some stale environments and side activities
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is an action-brawler with a compelling narrative following Kazuma Kiryu. Critics highlight its tight, impactful combat and emotional depth, showcasing Kiryu's journey. However, the game feels more like a bridge between major installments, with some critics mentioning that the setting and side activities lack innovation. Despite this, the nostalgic nods and signature Yakuza series mini-games keep players entertained.
