Luke checks out the newest entry in the Yakuza franchise. Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Fun fact, Premier Pro hated the footage he recorded originally, so he had to spend two days converting 200 GB of footage with Handbrake. Editing problems aside, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a defining new chapter for the game. A new location, a new protagonist, and even brand new turn-based combat. The question, is it any good? You’ll have to watch the video below to find out!
It's not a huge, incredible entry with exciting new features and such. It is, however a fun little package with a lot of charm and humor. There's plenty to appreicate for all ages.
Gears 5 is a strong entry into the on-going franchise with a fun campaign, but escape mode fails to impress and Horde still struggles to remain interesting past the first 10 or so waves. Competitive versus modes are as intense and entertaining as they've always been, but are bogged down by grind-heavy progression systems.
The Lynchian-inspired visuals, SCP Foundation-inspired setting, and more make up a very unique experience, but severe performance issues really drag down what otherwise stands tall as one of the most unique, and entertaining games of the year.
