Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth feels indulgent in a way few games get to be. Enough drama to fill two normal Yakuza games, a Hawaiian city sparkling in the sun and an absurd lineup of minigames including resort management and creature taming. It’s impossible to go five minutes without it excitedly thrusting another glossy distraction in your face, even as stakes escalate. Honestly, it’s better than most vacations I’ve been on.
Most of Infinite Wealth’s issues come and go in the first 15 hours of its sprawling narrative as it tries to introduce a cast of dozens, the city of Yokohama, and give a crash course on current protagonist Ichiban Kasuga, former Yakuza grunt turned 40-something hero with a heart of gold.
As a longtime player I felt more than a little bit of déjà vu while crawled its to ‘get good’, but I swear it’s worth the wait.
