Like a dragon is completely different, first the main protagonist is not a downtrodden serious as hell ex yakuza, secondly the game does not have live action fights anymore but I think it has a turn based jrpg system. The game justifies it that the main protagonist is a heavy rpg fan and so the battles happen in his mind more or less with average things suddenly becoming wands and weapons... The game was well received after the initial criticism of not being faithful to the yakuza family anymore and it seems to become its own IP now with the sequels not being called yakuza anymore but like a dragon... Anyway a game I always wanted tu buy but never came around it so I am quite happy that it is this months AAA title!
