Though judging the story from a brief slice of action is tough, Yakuza 7 certainly shows promise in its turn-based brawls.
With RGG in the mainstream spotlight, about to complete their first simultaneous worldwide release, let's take a look back and rank the Yakuza games.
I just could not get into like a dragon I love Yakuza series but when they went with turn based combat it just was not for me. I hope future entries go back to its original roots or at least every now and then have a game where is real Time brawler combat
We do have judgement so at least there are other similar games being made by same developers
I’m sorry but no way is like a dragon better than Yakuza 0, 4,5, or 6. It’s different with a lighter hearted tone a lot of times. Plenty of slapstick and jokes. It literally feels like a DLC compared to the main Yakuza games. Unless you simply don’t like action games maybe… but going through the underground arenas, fighting the mini bosses randomly on the streets on different games for money or exp (like the guy in the gold suit for example). Not to mention the mini games, which Like a dragon has some too, but not as good as most other Yakuzas. Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing Yakuza from the beginning. It’s like the metal gear rpg/card collector that was on PSP or Vita. It was a cool game and a lot of fun, but it wasn’t a METAL GEAR. It was fun for what it was. I don’t believe this person actually played through all the Yakuzas. Probably gamepassed like a dragon and dabbled in the others to get an idea.
There are a few I haven't played so I am replaying and playing through them now on GP.
I did like Like a Dragon, it kept the feel of the games, but I got bored of the combat about halfway in. It was the easiest RPG I've ever played.
If I remember correctly - Eri, lower defence move for all. Ichiban - Mega bat. Every fight over in seconds.
I'm currently playing Yakuza 0 and so far it's the best game I played this year.

Honestly, I think it’s a brilliant switch up to the brawler like mechanics. I feel like I won’t pull my hair out trying to do those Heat Moves that require you to grab an enemy from behind. Things look way more cinematic, too!
I find it hilarious that, even though it's turn-based combat, the battles are so fast anyway that it still looks as hectic as a Kiryu battle.
I can't friggin' wait, this game is gonna be amazing.
I’m disappointed to be honest.
If Game Informer says this then it was me worried but every thing they showed off about the combat looked cool.
