Like a Dragon: Ishin!
This remake of 2014’s Japan-only Ryū ga Gotoku Ishin transplants the all-action gameplay of Sega’s Yakuza series to the 19th century Bakumatsu phase of the late Edo period, with an open-world feudal domain replacing the familiar streets of modern-day Kamurochō.
- Use a deep roster of varied weaponry, representative of the 1860s, in visceral combat that lets you switch between four styles: Swordsman, Wild Dancer, Brawler and Gunman.
- It wouldn’t be a Yakuza/Like a Dragon title without minigames, so take a moment or two away from the main quest to test yourself in the fighting arena, go fishing, perform karaoke, take part in drinking games or gamble with your hard-earned money. (Infinite Wealth? That’s another game entirely.)
