Yakuza: Like A Dragon Review (PS5) - A Lacklustre PS5 Upgrade, But Still The Same Great RPG - PSU

From PSU: Yakuza: Like A Dragon on PS5 is still the same great game as it was on PS4. However, as upgrades go, there isn't much here for new players and PS5 feature support is weak or not well implemented. So, the game is just as good as it was, but there isn't much of a reason to come back.

Having held out until the ps5 version came out, id fully agree with this review. Very fun game and i was worried it wouldnt be as good as a standard yakuza game...but it was

andy851147d ago

Same. I held out too. It's fantastic so far

I wonder why people knocked it when it was exclusive to Xbox. So weird...

LucasRuinedChildhood1146d ago (Edited 1146d ago )

It wasn't an Xbox exclusive. It came out on PS4 at launch and undoubtedly sold best there.

Long time fans were just concerned about the switch to turn based combat before it came out because it was a big change for the franchise. It had nothing to do with Xbox. You're the one being weird ...

I've seen almost no negatively towards the quality of this game at all on N4G since it came out

It came out on the PS4 the same day it came out on Xbox in the west.

Circuitburnout1146d ago

It was never an exclusive. Came to PS4 same day as Xbox and PC

CrimsonWing691146d ago

It’s actually my favorite in the series.

RedDevils1146d ago

I platinum it before the update.

ufo8mycat1146d ago

My GOTY for last year.
I was concerned how they would handle the turn based combat, but the way they handled it and the way the mechanics work, make it soooo much more fun then the generic, mindless, button mashing combat of previous games.

So glad I held out. I platinumed AC Valhalla while I waited.

Circuitburnout1146d ago

How long did that take? Any hard trophies?

Who needs realism when you can throw a bike at a man dressed in a bin bag?

PlayStation Plus is a secret paradise for RPG fans

From games that digitaltrends DeAngelo Epps has always wanted to play but missed out on, like Odin Sphere, to newer titles that he'd love to re-experience like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there was enough there to justify diving back in. And those titles aren’t even a small percent of what’s available here. Vanillaware titles, Square Enix games, NIS franchises he’d never even heard of — there’s a whole lot to dig into.

PSPlus is Amazing for RPGs and NIS America, Square Enix and Vanillaware games are perfect for PSPortal.

Not really a 'secret' but a paradise indeed, I just finished Soul Hackers 2, pretty good, and started Labyrinth of Galleria and I am having a blast. Tons of great RPGs in the PS4/PS5 family

Mr_cheese148d ago

Secret is the click buzzword. Can't have a title without bait these days.

secret, shadow, hidden

Perfect for playing on the Portal, since rpgs can be such timesinks. For those people who can't stay glued to the TV, it's good to give some freedom around the house, out on the porch or whatever. I haven't picked up a Portal yet, bc of life priorities, but I definitely anticipate picking one up asap and playing more rpgs!

ziggyzinfirion148d ago

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII:Remake for the first time on PS5 and I am freaking blown away by this game so far. I don't know why I waited this long or due to my huge backlog but had to be honest, this game exceeded my expectations.

OtterX148d ago

Yea, story pacing aside, the combat system is pretty killer, especially if you slow it down to play it more like a tactical turned based jrpg!

I actually wish FF16 had gone this route, instead of the DMC route. The FF7:R system gave enough action for those who wanted to play that way, while still appeasing us old school turn based jrpg fans.

Glad you're enjoying!

crazyCoconuts148d ago

Some of the best in game HDR I've ever seen in that game. I liked it a lot too. My first final fantasy game believe it or not
