Game of the Show: Yakuza: Like a Dragon
Like a Dragon is the 8th installment in the Yakuza series, a kind of reboot with a new protagonist, new city, and a new combat system – switching from real-time brawler to a JRPG-style turn-based system. It’s a slow burning game that feels like a TV show or soapopera with a bit of player interaction thrown in, it is very well written and keep pulling the player in despite its slow pacing. It is also a very well made parody of RPGs while being an excellent example of the genre, continuing similar creations that use this tropes such as One Punch Man, Riverdale and Sounth Park: The Stick of Truth.
Vanquished
News:
- Super Mario does golf – couldn’t get my hands on the $59.99 tennis game, so now they are adding golf, and you know it’s going to be good.
- Ubisoft wants to put more emphasis on free-to-play premium games – I wonder how that is going to look like.
