As much as I enjoyed the Yakuza formula, it was definitely a formula. Like a Dragon has enough familiar elements to make it feel like, at its heart, it\u2019s a Yakuza game. All the while, I fully appreciated how much of a new identity this entry is establishing. Here\u2019s hoping this is the first step in yet another great journey for the series. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As for the game itself, Yakuza: Like a Dragon is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, and PC.
