Barring combat, there are many mini-games and side activities available in Like a Dragon: Ishin. Like a Dragon: Ishin’s different styles, while not balanced, are a lot of fun. I’m more a fan of turn-based gameplay, but have always enjoyed Yakuza brawler combat. When it comes to the gameplay, Like a Dragon: Ishin is a lot denser than I expected.
