Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth features the weakest narrative in the Yakuza series but offers the most extensive gameplay experience, filled with activities. While the writing disappoints, the numerous mini-games and activities make it worth playing. Ignoring this adventure would be a mistake.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth feels like the culmination of developer Ryu Ga Gotoku’s efforts over the past decade to create a bombastic franchise that is rich in personality and action. The game’s engaging combat, stunning locales, and a dense assortment of side content and mini-games, all help to ensure Infinite Wealth is a good time from start to finish. Some issues with the story’s pacing are quickly forgotten when players begin to immerse themselves in the game’s world, and not a minute of time spent feels wasted. It’s not easy for a franchise to continuously reinvent itself while keeping things fresh and modern, but Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth does exactly that. The series is going from strength to strength, and Ryu Ga Gotoku’s biggest problem right now is likely trying to figure out how exactly it will raise the bar even further next time.
Almost two decades after the legendary first chapter, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has the flavor of both a point of arrival and a dazzling new beginning. Far from revealing too much, what we can say is that Ryu ga Gotoku Studio's new title is not only, in all likelihood, the best chapter in the series. It also represents one of the best JRPGs in the recent video game landscape and, we go further, one of the first serious candidates for the 2024 GOTYs. A must-buy for practically everyone, but especially for those fans who bought Yakuza back in 2006 for the PlayStation 2: all of this was also possible thanks to you!

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a great game that can keep you busy for dozens of hours and make you feel that your money has been well spent. If it weren't for the unacceptable, by all means, paywall on New Game+ (only unlocked if you buy the Deluxe or Premium version), then its value would be even greater.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the fantastic sequel to the excellent Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Ichiban's new adventure will make you have fun, but also shed just as many tears: we will witness Kiryu's swan song, in what will in effect be a handover. We are talking about an extremely long-lasting game, full of twists and turns and full of well-curated secondary activities. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is already one of the best games in the saga.

'Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth' manages to mostly avoid the pitfalls that come with being a direct sequel of a video game. While the story can sometimes have pacing issues and feel bloated, its incredible cast of characters, fun gameplay, and amazing side content make it an unforgettable adventure.
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a triumph in storytelling and a strong example of how to improve a game significantly from the previous entry.

"Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is the best entry in the series yet, featuring expansive content and an engaging JRPG experience. The story is immersive with many twists, and Honolulu adds a unique touch as a new location. Despite some issues, like the paywall for New Game+, the game excels with its side missions, smooth combat, and rich ambiance. Playing Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name first is recommended for a fuller experience. A must-play for fans!"

‘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.
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 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.
