Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth Reviews
Apart from a plot full of illogical moments, Infinite Wealth is easily the best game in the series – no other Yakuza has offered so much stuff to do. It's very interesting to see in what direction the series will move next and how much its scale will grow.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a product that proves how special video games can be when they're trying to be just that: gaming. While some studios are busier turning their releases into virtual storefronts and others are running unsustainable budgets in hopes of finally getting Hollywood approval, RGG Studios simply sought to pamper their fans by making the most of the possibilities in front of them.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is, along with Lost Judgment, one of RGG's most ambitious titles. The union of the two dragons brings a mature plot, full of intrigue, with fun and exciting moments, but also a strong criticism of our society.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a staggeringly massive RPG featuring the culmination of all that RGG Studios, and the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise, have worked towards over the last two decades. An incredibly high quality experience that doubles down on everything that was beloved about the previous entry, Infinite Wealth completes the series' transformation into a genre-leading JRPG franchise.
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.
Infinite Wealth is a stellar follow-up to Yakuza: Like a Dragon in just about every way. It's bigger, bolder and with some smart tweaks to combat it's a significantly better turn-based RPG. Series fans have a ton to look forward to in the larger-than-life story and emotional character moments, and though there are some glaring issues with its dungeons and post-game offerings, the end result is the franchise's best entry yet.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth shows Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and the entire Yakuza: Like a Dragon series at its finest. The best game in the series offers shocking and unbelievable content for players to experience across game modes like Dondoko Island, the brilliant and gut-wrenching story, and the intriguing new characters. Though it has some pacing issues here and there, and I still wish for slightly faster battles, this is the biggest, greatest, and most compelling adventure for Ichiban and Kiryu yet.
Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio delivers another winner in its long-running Yakuza franchise with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The characters that anchor the story remain compelling and the turn-based combat is one of the best modern implementations of the classic system. Admittedly, the switch from the series’ traditional brawling can be polarizing. The decision to lock New Game+ behind the game’s special additions is also concerning. Overall, however, Infinite Wealth is a worthy addition to the series’ rich history.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a fantastic role-playing game with a huge scope and a great story.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the end result of two decades of iteration from Ryu Ga Gotoku and the studio's best game yet. Sprawling but never bloated, it remains captivating from beginning to end across both its main narrative and bountiful side adventures, almost never missing a beat.
There is a lot to unpack in Infinite Wealth if you played any of the previous games. And even if you don't, it's still worth your time, even for a chance to have this crazy and wacky Hawaiian vacation.

Despite changing the name of the franchise for us in the West, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is more of the same that we've come to love. A huge variety of content to dive into and an ambitious, heartening story help to bring this package into one that fans of the series will absolutely adore. RGG Studios have polished the foundations of the new RPG battle system to a shine in this new entry and the result is a game full of personality and refreshing spirit that is a joy to experience from beginning to end. This game is an ambitious jump into a new frontier for the Like A Dragon franchise and is all the better for it. For those who have experienced the story of Like A Dragon up until now, you be doing yourself a disservice to miss this.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is another rich entry in this long-running series, which clearly still has more to offer before it runs out of steam.
Like a Dragon fans will turn up in their droves for a new Yakuza story regardless of overall quality, but never has one been as utterly essential as Infinite Wealth.
With its touching yet hilarious story and intricate, deep combat system, we already have a game of the year contender.
Infinite Wealth honours its dying dragon and rising star with a Hawaiian platter of side stories, memoirs, and dynamic combat.
With a refined battle system, a stellar supporting cast, and the best side content the series has ever seen, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is one of the best RPGs of the modern era.
A game that's celebratory not just of the characters and the world it's focused on, but too the fanbase that's helped build it up to this point. Even a terrible voice casting choice and handful of other small nitpicks aren't enough to hamper too much of the experience. Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth bets big -- in both gameplay and narrative alike -- and unsurprisingly, has won big once again.
After the departure of Toshihiro Nagoshi, Ryu ga Gotoku Studio shows its best side in an installment that brings together past and future without sparing any means or affection. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth unites fans of Kiryu Kazuma and Kasuga Ichiban in a great adventure in which laughter and tears are guaranteed.

After Yakuza: Like a Dragon soft rebooted the series, I presumed the next entry would focus entirely on Ichiban. After all, the Yakuza were finished, Kiryu had his curtain call, and a new generation of heroes and villains took the stage. However, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth seems like a step backward for the series narratively. Instead of the Yokohama gang getting a new adventure without eight games worth of lore weighing them down, Infinite Wealth spends around 50% of its runtime saying goodbye to Kiryu yet again. Fortunately, improved combat and excellent side activities compensate for Infinite Wealth’s narrative struggles.
