Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Review
RGG Studio’s latest action-brawler is a captivating and emotional look at Kiryu’s life that offers a ’greatest hits’ of the series’ gameplay.
Perhaps I was naive to think that the legend of Kazuma Kiryu actually wrapped up with Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and that his appearance in Yakuza: Like A Dragon was simply a nod to longtime fans such as myself. Having played through Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, I’m now convinced that leaving Kiryu to grow old in the shadows wouldn’t have been the right move. Although Gaiden is a bite-sized story--noticeably shorter than previous entries--it proves that Kiryu has so much more life to live.
From the wild new Agent fighting style to the wealth of captivating side activities and tried-and-true Yakuza story drama, Gaiden is a tight package that’s akin to a ’greatest hits’ for the franchise. While it may feel like a retread of previous games at times, the formula is no worse for wear and still finds ways to surprise me with its straight-faced delivery of absurdist humor. Gaiden acts as a middle chapter that flows into the events of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the 2020 RPG starring Kasuga Ichiban as the protagonist, and it leads directly into the upcoming Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Ichiban’s second outing. It’s tough to talk about this game in a vacuum, but because it so heavily targets those who’ve been on the Yakuza journey all this time, it hit me hard in my feelings--especially as I barreled toward its heart-rending conclusion. In that respect, it is both a typical and exceptional entry in the Yakuzaverse.
