Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

About

Kazuma Kiryu returns in a standalone story set between Yakuza: Like a Dragon's events. Posing as a covert operative in Osaka, he navigates a tangled web of crime syndicates and political cover-ups. Combat blends fast-paced brawling with real-time strategy, letting you switch between Kiryu and a supporting cast to exploit enemy weaknesses. The city's districts come alive with side jobs, bar fights, and minigames that mirror the series' signature grind. The game's 40-hour story received a 91/100 score from Dengeki PlayStation, praised for its tight combat and character depth. While newcomers might need a series refresher, longtime fans appreciate Kiryu's return in a plot that ties unresolved threads from earlier entries. Available on nearly every current-gen console, it's a self-contained adventure that stands apart from the main series' usual Tokyo-centric plots.
