Although there were many good candidates on our list of Xbox nominees, only one could win. The winner of Destructoid’s Best Xbox Game of 2024 receives: Like a dragon: infinite wealtha worthy sequel, that anyone Yakuza the fan would be joyful.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as Like a Dragon/Yakuza fan, the point is that these games are never condensed into one genre. Sure, at first glance you can just write Infinite wealth it’s more of a classic JRPG, but it’s more than that. On the one hand, it can be seen as a sports game with many sports adventures. On the other hand, you can apply it as a dating app simulator where you chat and meet different characters. That’s what I love Infinite wealth and the rest Like a Dragon series, for that matter. It’s not only that one thing; that’s practically everything.
As a sequel, Infinite wealth he pointed out the elements that worked Yakuza: Like a dragon and improved it in a way to make the experience much more inviting. I admit that at first I had doubts about the whole change in turn-based combat compared to the original, but fortunately Infinite wealth introduced some quality of life updates, especially with the option to move your character on the battlefield. There are also many more ways to move around the map, including two up-to-date systems with the cart and the Street Surfer.
The cast is as charming as the first part. Ichiban is still the same moody guy, getting into the strangest situations that always make for incredibly addictive gameplay. But of course we cannot forget about it Infinite wealth another main character, also known as the Fourth Chairman of the Tojo Clan, also known as the Dragon of Dojima. Yes, I’m talking about the man, the myth, the legend, Kazuma Kiryu. Though Yakuza 6 was supposed to be his last hurray, I’m more than joyful to see him return to the series.
In addition, we will have another return with Mad Dog himself, Goro Majima. Like a Dragon: Yakuza Pirate in Hawaii will be released in early 2025, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this game is also included in our next selection of the best Xbox games. Nevertheless, in 2025, there will definitely be some sturdy players on the platform, including Notorious AND Fairy tale. We just have to see who takes it home next year.
