- Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on PlayStation 5. Also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox, and PC.
"Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth’s overhauled combat system injects some welcome flexibility and flash into every turn, its difficulty curve has been pruned of nasty spikes to remove the need for repetitive grinding we endured in the last turn-based game, and its spectacular Hawaiian setting is crammed with enough enjoyable activities to overload even the most ambitious of holiday itineraries. A compelling, country-hopping crime story kept me on the hook like a freshly lured barracuda for the 50 hours it took to complete, and the vibrant new job classes and unique combat arenas ensured that the fighting continued to feel fresh. Sprawling, enthralling, and packed with dynamic brawling, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth isn’t just the best turn-based Like a Dragon game, it’s one of the greatest games in the entire series." - Hry
Nothing makes me more happy than a Yakuza game to finally get the recognition it deserves. 90 in metacritic, really an incredible feat

are u living under rock? yakuza has been gaining new audience since 2018 with yakuza 0
@SYLRMHA you do
@@sussygamer3581 Sadly, but the game will be awesome
ign not giving a like a dragon game a 7 and instead a 9 must mean this game is truly special
It means it deserves a 11/10 probably
They don't give 7 because it don't deserve a 7, unfunny bozo.
@@felipez3115 they are notorious for giving 7/10 for many games of the series
@@felipez3115I would say the same about COD to be fair
Because all yakuza games are more or less a 7.
"...regular dopamine hits by hitting dopes and meanies...." What a great line.

Came on to say this. Tristan's reviews are always worth watching...why does an IGN review have rap bars lol
Poor delivery
He did have some lines didn’t he 💀
Holy damm, they needed Kiryu and Ichiban together to break the IGN curse lmaoooo

Not having to grind and being able to beat the game in 50 hours are huge wins for me, instead of 80 plus hours to finish the campaign. This is perfect for a month before FF7 Rebirth.
yakuza 7 took 50 hours too. this is great.
My exact thought. The last one was great but the difficulty spike with so much grinding turned me on off big time. Glad that got fixed
Man some of those boss fights was unforgivable @@RiffCityRansom
@@RiffCityRansomlike a dragon main story was fairly easy im glad there was some grind for that chapter
Some of the boss fights definitely humbled me
I'm so excited for this game! This review just got me more hyped!!
Finally a 9 for yakuza well deserved

The biggest surprise of this game is IGN giving it a 9.
Was gonna say the same!

What do you give it
If ign gave a Yakuza game a 9, then yeah this game is gonna be a masterpiece
Infinite Wealth looks like a strong start to the 2024 jrpg lineup. Has a high chance of staying in my GOTY contenders even if it's an early release.

Just realised that this game is the first to take on the Georama system we all adored in Dark Cloud and White Knight Chronicles. I’d be happily getting it for that alone.
What's a georama system?
Looks like the island building thing that’s a spiritual successor to Dark Cloud

Fantastic review. So much comedy cold. Thanks very much. A 9 to boot!
This is a crazy year for games already
Played persona 5, ff7 remake and yakuza 7 last year. Now this, together with persona 3 reload and ff7 rebirth. Cant wait to dive in these games 🤙

Though this may be the end of the old generation, the adventures of the new protagonist has only just begun. Welcome aboard, Joryu!

Great review, im just disappointed IGN didnt do the research to realize that thats not Kiryu, his name is Taichi Sazuki. It might say kiryu on the text box but thats his code name.
Not correct. Suzuki is a name he already used in Yakuza 5 to hide his identity. It is Kiryu.
@christophedaelemans6613 it's a meme and clearly you haven't finished the man who erased his name 🤦♂️
Wooo so excited to play this game! Glad that it meets or surpasses our expectations.

Let this man write all the reviews from now on.
You know things really changed when Ign finally give a Yakuza more than a 8
Cant wait to play this. Playing the 1st and adoring it.
Unbelievable they gave a fair score to a yakuza game
Fair score = score that agrees with me
@@jacquemcnamee3459 well not only my opinion just look at the steam scores for real gamers opinions
no, fair score means that they actually reviewed it
instead of just slapping a 7 on it and just watched a trailer or two, like they do with most reviews@@jacquemcnamee3459
@@jacquemcnamee3459You call giving 7, Lost Judgement, Gaiden a 7/10 a fair score?

This recreation of Honolulu is super accurate for a Yakuza game. Nice job
Why is the pitch of almost every line exactly the same? Is the "high pitch for almost the entire sentence, and then down and then up a bit at the end" just how CZcams has to be now? Genuinely.
Had me at Bruce Lee job. Everything else is just an amazing bonus. This game is incredible.

Im ready to be blown away again.
Ign should make the disclaimer that new game plus is tied behind dlc.
can't wait to play as itchyballs
this looaaks ridiculously fun! 🎉 Like a Dragon is best modern JRPG and also my all time fav Yakuza title. This looks to be Like a Dragon but evwrything turnws to 11 and even more crazy than ever before.
wow both Jan 26 games (this + T8) both got a 9/10... daaang. its like 2018 all over again when DBFZ and MHW both came out the same day and also got high scores.
This is a proper review. Thank you IGN.

The fact there is a Kiryu scenario makes me want to play it.
I’ve never been able to get into a Yakuza game, but I’m getting this game for the simple fact that it’s the first game that takes place in Honolulu where I’m born and raised… and from what I’ve seen the attention to detail is incredible.
You gotta play everything before it.
@@cedricdavis513i disagree. You can still have a lot of fun without prior knowledge, even if there are certain parts of the story that you might need to look up to understand.
This is my first yakusa game and I'm pissed I'm just now playing it. I'm obsessed with all the deep content it offers
additional money for new game plus is insane
Facts
Agreed
Hyped up for the game this Friday. But man, im still crossing my fingers that they dont off Kiryu!
hes been offed so many times, even if they of him, he will return at some point

Like a dragon was the first jrpg where the job system made sense like he’s homeless he’s looking for a job that job gets lvl up but also the character lvl up as well for some reason that just never clicked until this game
Yakuza stand behind the reviewer after he rate LAD 9: "nice"
Yong's performance as Kiriyu sounds like it came straight out of the Sega Dreamcast era with how cheap and low budget it sounds. Similar to a lot of Sega's English dubs in their games from the Dreamcast era.
Sega keeping it real
Just play the sub dub was always inferior
And that’s why we love it.

You know we watch reviews to figure out if we should get the game right. Why would you put spoilers in a review, and on the day of release as well.
Can someone tell me what happend on April 21st 1985 in Tokyo?

Pre order it bro might aswell, u can pre install it and get 2 extra jobs
Oh February’s gonna be expensive alright
reflective because of Kiryu's WHAT??
The review is very well written! Haha
Glad to hear there’s no ridiculous difficulty spike like Yakuza 7 had.
Is it true ng+ is locked beyond a paywall?
Technically one of the best Yakuza, in the other hand the main story is one of the worst of all Yakuza. My expectations was extremely high after previous Like a dragon Yakuza 7 which in my subiective opinion we had one of the best main story in entire franchise.
Ichiban’s story in this one is little bit off but still an amazing game just wow
Granblue Fantasy Relink, Persona 3, Yakuza 8, FF7 Rebirth... We are being blessed...
I’m glad this game came out because this is like a gangster version of Final Fantasy… that is well executed ✨
“Those 2 weirdos” are actually real characters in Japan.
It looks like it plays like Phantom Dust but even better.
Definitely playing it high af🌿🌴🌆🌴
Real ones know yakuza the best game to play high, def smoking up before playing
tekken 8 + this game .... man ... what a weekend ....
Can’t wait to play this game! Been a fan of the series since the first game on PS2! Can’t wait to spend over a hundred hours in this game. This biggest game in the series to date!

Well I'm ready!!
15$ new game+ is wild, though
Surprised it didn’t get a 10 considering they said nothing negative
Sad that Yahtzee didn't like it much . But it was great
wow kazuma's dub is back
Is there still the dial-a-friend option in battle?
Yes, and now they stay in battle like an extra party member. 👍
This game really makes you feel like a 46 year old Japanese ex-Yakuza
Went from Dragon Quest to Chrono Trigger
The fact you no longer have you grind your party's levels to do be able to complete main story content sells this for me
Best in the series without any doubt. ❤
Strange how Kiryu sounds like Yongyea.
This and Tekken on the same day. What a treat. What a thrill.
Call me crazy or something but...... Isnt that combat seems similiar to One Piece PSP game?
Wait, the game is already out?
You guys do know you can do an in depth review of a game without spoilers? Like its not impossible hey?
After all these years, I'm so proud of ryuga gotoku studios.... They finally got that long time recognition that they deserves.. 👍👍👍👍👍
It should be called Infinite Greed for locking New Game Plus behind a $15 paywall.

I´ve never played a Yakuza game and that review made me want to give it a try - until the comments here reminded me they paywalled new game plus. This is unacceptable and cannot under any circumstance be supported.
More Ichiban. Count me in.
Amazing.
"No spoilers" shows jo amon
it's not even a spoiler at this point. he is in every yakuza game.
There was a warning at the very start regarding discovery spoilers.
Literally in every single yakuza game, and it’s technically a side quest so it’s hardly a spoiler at all
