What Games to Play if You Enjoyed Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth?
Yakuza: Like a Dragon
It should come as no surprise: If you enjoyed the combination of action RPG, quirky humor, and heartfelt storytelling found in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Yakuza: Like a Dragon should definitely be on your must-play list. Here, you will meet Ichiban Kasuga, who introduces himself as your protagonist before setting the events of Infinite Wealth into motion. As always, you’ll explore vibrant Yokohama city along with an underworld plot line while engaging in turn-based combat using a unique “job system”, where classes can switch rapidly on the fly as part of turn-based battles!
Sleeping Dogs
Looking for something with more of a cinematic edge while satisfying that open-world crime saga itch? Sleeping Dogs offers just such an experience — set in Hong Kong’s bustling underworld, you play as Wei Shen, an undercover cop forced into infiltrating Triad gangs using martial arts and brutal takedowns; plus, there are tons of side activities from high-stakes gambling dens to thrilling street races in an immersive open-world environment — but be warned; story and tone can get quite dark fast so be warned when starting off!
Judgment
Similar to “Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth” and praised for its gritty detective vibe and action-packed brawling? Judgment (and Lost Judgment), developed by the same team behind the Yakuza series, puts you in Takayuki Yagami, an exiled lawyer turned private detective in Kamurocho (an imagined version of Tokyo Kabukicho district). Created by the same team behind the Yakuza series, Judgment places players into Takayuki Yagami’s shoes: an ex-lawyer turned private investigator. Explore Kamurocho (which serves as both Yakuza and Judgment’s fictionalized Tokyo district setting), unravel intricate mysteries, and engage in street brawls against criminal masterminds!
The Wonderful 101: Remastered
The Wonderful 101 (Crowd Control and Platforming with an Unusual Spin): It’s Looking for something more strategic. In The Wonderful 101, you take control of an unlikely group of heroes as they unite against an alien invasion — with one twist: you manage them all as one entity! Drawing shapes with either a touchscreen or gamepad enables players to unleash heroes into various formations and strategize on how best to overcome obstacles and dispatch enemies — offering a refreshing take on action games! The Wonderful 101 offers a vibrant art style and a whimsical cast of characters for an enjoyable gameplay experience; humor also remains lighthearted, keeping things lighthearted even during its alien invasion theme!
Persona 5 Strikers
If the stylish combat and supernatural elements of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth were appealing, then Persona 5 Strikers might just be your cup of tea. A spinoff from the popular Persona series, Persona 5 Strikers features its beloved core cast on an adventure across Japan during summer vacation; combat is real-time action rather than turn-based (but do not underestimate the turned-based combat of JRPG games); yet its signature style remains.
