I always thought this game looked right up my alley but I refuse to buy games with DRM like Denuvo.

A while back the main line Yakuza games showed up on GOG and I was hoping that it would eventually lead to Like A Dragon being released! I guess today is that day!

I know I will love this game. What are some of your favorite Yakuza titles?

This is a great entrypoint to the series. The main cast is all new (though there are of course several references throughout the story for long-time fans). The gameplay is new (turn-based instead of brawler). I believe this is also the first Yakuza since the original Y1 to have a full English dub if that's you're thing.

LaD is a fantastic game that I recommend to anybody. Just know that it is much goofier than persona (especially the side content). Happy to answer any questions you might have.

i disagree, since it's the only one that's a turn based game. I'd start with either Yakuza 0, the prequel, or Yakuza kiwami, which is a remake of the first game
