About This Game

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth continues the series' reinvention as a full turn-based role-playing game, following the irrepressible Ichiban Kasuga from Japan to Hawaii alongside returning hero Kazuma Kiryu. It pairs a deep, job-class battle system with an enormous spread of distractions, a creature-collecting hunt, an island-building sim, dozens of substories, so the underworld plot is only ever part of the package.

Reception is warmer on systems than on story. Players single out the upgraded combat, side content and character work, while the recurring complaints are pacing, grind and the decision to lock New Game Plus behind paid DLC. Rated Mature 17+ and included on PS Plus Extra, it is a rich pick for anyone wanting crime drama built on full RPG mechanics, and a long haul for anyone impatient with filler.

Highlights

  • Richly detailed open-world exploration in vibrant Japanese locales.
  • Deep turn-based combat system with strategic elements.
  • Character progression and customization for unique play styles.
  • Incorporation of a wide variety of mini-games and side quests.
  • Strong narrative focus with engaging character arcs influenced by player choices.
  • Highly acclaimed series known for its humor and emotional storytelling.
  • Voice acting by renowned Japanese actors adds to immersion.
