Sega In the recently released Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio tells a story of rehabilitation and proves that everyone has the chance to be better. No matter your past, there’s the human element of wanting to leave the world a better place than you found it, and that often rings true throughout the lengthy main story.

They say that Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is the best representation of mental illness in gaming. But I beg to differ as the Yakuza series seems to be doing a fine job in portraying schizophrenia. Anyone who has played any game in the series will tell you tales of the tonal pacing that goes up and down like a roller coaster. And it’s beloved for that very reason. That’s been a hallmark of the series and I’m happy to say that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth offers more of the same. Well, that’s pretty much the review, but…

For the last several days, I’ve done nothing but play a steady rotation of Persona 3 Reload, Final Fantasy XIV, and Enshrouded. They’re all hefty undertakings, and to say I’ve got a bit of the brain drain is an understatement. I need something easy, something satisfying and new that doesn’t require every cylinder to fire. That’s why I tried Infinite Craft, but that’s definitely not evidenced by the time I spent in Infinite Craft. For the unfamiliar, it’s a charming word game that gives you four elemental words: Wind,…

In 2000, Paradox Press published “Reinventing Comics: How Imagination and Technology Are Revolutionizing an Art Form.” The book was Scott McCloud’s follow-up to his seminal 1993 work, “Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art.” Where the earlier title explored the history and visual language of sequential art, the second volume finds the medium at a crossroads. The turn of the millennium presented new technologies that threatened to upend print media. Along with exploring existing vocabulary, McCloud coined a few…

While the franchise has been around since the initial game in 2005, the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series has really seemed to pick up mainstream popularity over the last few entries. Today, Rya Ga Gotoku Studio has confirmed just that. The Sega-owned developers revealed that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth has already crossed over the 1,000,000 copies shipped threshold. It took the game a mere week to do so. When you look at review scores across the industry for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, it’s easy to see why the…

Mini-games and side activities are by no means new to the Like a Dragon franchise, but Dondoko Island in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth almost feels like an entire second game packed inside. Once you’re introduced to the titular island and shown the ropes, you never have to interact with it again if you don’t want to, but on the other hand, you could sink dozens of hours into doing nothing else. You’re tasked with trying to return this once-thriving resort to glory, but there’s quite a bit that needs to get done…
