Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth on PS5
As a long-time Yakuza fan, I will admit I could never quite get into the previous Ichiban game. It spun the Yakuza format into something shockingly new, and I didn’t quite mesh with it. It felt too rigid when I would have preferred just to hammer the square button and decimate whatever enemy Kiryu was facing. Fortunately, Infinite Wealth has made definite improvements to the turn-based combat from the last game, and I found myself enjoying it much more this time around.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth takes place four years after the events of Ichiban’s first adventure, with the fallout from the Great Dissolution still very fresh. Ichiban actually has a job with Hello Work to help the displaced Yakuza find gainful employment and new meaning to their lives. However, a nasty rumor spreads, which misrepresents what he is trying to do, and Ichiban finds himself out of a job. Though this means he can no longer help his Yakuza brethren, it frees him up to take on a different task.
