Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza Lands Favorable Reviews

Ahead of its official launch, several gaming publications released their reviews of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The PS5 version currently holds a Metacritic score averaging 79/100.

Reviewers widely agree that Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has delivered a wildly entertaining, albeit unconventional, entry in the series. The return to a fast-paced, action-focused combat system, reminiscent of earlier titles, is a highlight, particularly with the exciting addition of dynamic naval battles. This seafaring combat significantly enhances the gameplay's variety and keeps the experience fresh.

While the protagonist, Goro Majima, receives considerable acclaim, the narrative itself has drawn mixed reactions. Some critics found the storyline less compelling than the main series entries. Similarly, the game's environments were criticized for a degree of repetitiveness.

Despite these shortcomings, the consensus is that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will resonate strongly with both veteran fans and newcomers to the franchise.
