Gaiden reintroduced Kiryu in a relatively different character to the original one. In which as a long time Kiryu Kazuma fan, i found it to be somewhat offensive..
The new "Gadgets" gameplay was fun but also disappointing since the fights are generally easy, and do not require any "Gadgets" to finish them! Throwing punches was and still is enough to simply get a Fight done.. let alone the terrible investment in RPG elements inspired from "Yakuza: Like a Dragon"
However, the story was shallow to the point that it felt like a Filler with so many side quests that are forced throughout the gameplay. That is regardless of the importance of its plotlint which deeply connects to future entries.

First thing I will say is that The Man Who Erased His Name goes so hard for a video game title. It sounds like you're about go down a deep rabbit hole of conspiracies and drama. Unfortunately the story does not live up to the title of the game.
TMWEHN is a tribute to the Kiriyu Yakuza games we've been getting since the inception of the series. The last hurrah of the old era before Like A Dragon permanently moves on to be an RPG franchise instead of action.
The game is more of a bite size Yakuza game, rather than a full one. Honestly, this could be considered DLC to Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon.
The game takes place during the same time as Yakuza 7, but this time shows Kiriyu's side of the story up until the climax of Yakuza 7. The problem is this side of the story is not nearly as engaging/exciting as Ichiban's story.
The gameplay doesn't do anything new if you've played Yakuza 0-6, it's more of the same with some added fighting styles. The locations are nothing new too, except for one area. If you've played a Kiriyu game before, then this game will be very familiar to you.
The RGG team perfected the combat system in Lost Judgement, yet somehow the combat has regressed here.
It's still a solid Yakuza game, and the story ties up nicely and gives really good closure to Kiriyu's chapter. It sets up Yakuza 8 nicely and has one of the most gut wrenching beautiful endings in the entire series. I would only recommend this though if you are a die hard fan of this franchise like I am, otherwise it's better to just wait for Yakuza 8: Infinite Wealth.

First off, this one probably has my favorite soundtrack in the entire franchise. Sure, there are other games in the series that have some standout, killer tracks. But I don't think I've seen a game in the franchise have one with this many bangers in one game.
Combat was excellent for a game of this scope. The Yakuza style of fighting brings the satisfying brutality you've played in earlier games like Kiwami 2. The Agent style, however, is probably one of my top new favorite fighting styles we've seen so far. It brings the chaotic energy these games have accumulated throughout these games and channels it into a style that brings a really strategic take to the brawler combat. It's just so much fun to use.
The mini games aren't too out of the ordinary from what we've seen before. I spent most of my time playing Pocket Circuit Fighter, which was still both frustrating but incredibly addictive. Side stories were fewer in number of course but they were all pretty fun.
As for the story, I think the first and second act could've been executed a little better. The first act in particular felt a little rushed, and I think the second act just felt a little lacking. The third act, however, brings it all together into the emotional gutpunches these games can give you.
I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point at all, but if you've played the Like a Dragon games before, I think this entry is very well worth the short time it stays with you.

The ending hits hard. I don’t know about you guys, but the ending is the best ending for this year. I’m more excited for 8. Hell I already pre ordered the ultimate edition 🤣.

Чудова якудза з нюансами.
Це розширенний пріквел до 8 якудзи, який є маленьким як для повноцінної якудзи, але середнім для звичайної гри.
Ґеймплей, музика і сюжет як завжди шикарні, але мені не вистачало більшої якості сайд-квестів та кількості qte.

هذي اللعبة من التجارب اللي تصنعها هي احداثها الاخيرة
القصة الرئيسية ممطوطة حتى النخاع لإعطاء عمر اطول للعبة اللي ضر بيسنغ اللعبة بشكل كبير و اقحام المهمات الجانبية اغلب الوقت أثر بشكل كبير
لكن رغم كل هذا القصة كانت رائعة و اثبتت ان الجزء له داعي سواء من سد فراغات السابع و بناء لقصة الثامن
و هذا أفضل كومبات و إحساس لعب لكيريو بمحرك التنين على الإطلاق و طور الايجنت الجديد كان ممتع جدا
المهمات الجانبية متذبذبة المستوى لكن اللي مستواه عالي فعلا جميلة مع العديد من الريفرنسات للأجزاء السابقة
اللعبة هذي بوجهة نظري لو كانت دي السي مركز و اقصر كانت ستكون تجربة أفضل بكثير لكن فالنهاية طلعت من اللعبة مبسوط و قدر فريق التنين مجددا ان يسقط الدموع من عيني بمستواهم العالي في كتابة اللحظات العاطفية لقصة كيريو ، و تضاعف حماسي الآن لخوض الجزء الثامن

Final emocionante. Uma nova fase para o lendário Kazama Kiryu. Jogo se passa entre o Like a Dragon 7 e termina no início do Like a Dragon 8 que sai ano que vem. A Demo do 8 incluído no game deixou gostinho que quero mais! 😍

Ottimo titolo Yakuza
Gameplay vecchio stampo con l'aggiunta dello stile "Agente" che con i suoi gadget risulta divertente e funzionale per i grandi gruppi di nemici
Storia limitata dalla lunghezza ma perfetta così com'è: non troppo lunga, intensa e soprattutto ricolma di momenti alla Yakuza, con il ritorno in pompa magna dei personaggi cazzuti che abbiamo imparato ad amare (e Daigo Dojima)
Menzione d'onore alla scena finale di un'amarezza intensa, e che finalmente mostra la parte più umana e più debole di un uomo che ha sofferto a dismisura per anni, Splendida.
Gioco divertente, fresco e per niente pesante anche nelle sue ripetitività, si nota però la sua intenzione iniziale di essere solo un Dlc

ياكوزا قايدن الرجل الذي محى اسمه
تبدأ في وسط أحداث السادس والسابع استمتعت كثير الصراحه باللعبه ولكن من المفترض انها تكون حزمه مع الثامن لان تعتبر اضافه قصيره للقصه ولكن مليئه بالانشطه وسوف نذكر الايجابيات والسلبيات
الايجابيات:
1- منطقتان باللعبه يوكوهاما وسونتوبري
2-شخصيات منها جديده على القصه مثل اكامي وهي تساند بطلنا وتعطيه مهمات جانبيه وسبستوريز أيضا
3-محرك إبداعي ومبهر للامانه وتاريخي
4-الساوندتراك باللعبه ممتاز وبعضه من الجزء السابق
السلبيات والتي ربما لا تعجب البعض
1-سرد القصه لم يكن موفق
2-في احد الفصول باللعبه هناك حشو كبير بالمهمات الجانبيه
3- مهمات اكامي الجانبيه ليس لها فائده
وفي الختام قايدن يجب لعبها لان احداث اللعبه تقع مابين السادس والسابع ولكن لا تتوقع سرد قصه مميز وشكرا على قراءه المراجعه ونراكم في الجزء الثامن

Magnifique transition entre Song of life et LaD. Décidément on arrive pas à se passer de Kiryu!
Quel charisme!

Série Yakuza em sua forma mais simples com história cativante para poder finalizar as grandes ações do querido ex-protagonista Kiryu. É combate Beat em' Ups que a acompnha a saga toda, não RPG como a nova saga canônica.

O que dizer da história desse jogo, Ryū ga Gotoku é referência. Gameplay é muito boa do começo ao fim, eu fico impressionado como um mapa tão pequeno não se torna enjoativo em momento algum. Mais um grande jogo desse estúdio que sou fã.

Gillar striderna och storyn är godkänd men inte tillräckligt engagerande för att jag ska ta mig förbi "roadblocks" som spelet sätter upp.
Tycker inte heller att spelet har särskilt intressanta eller roliga karaktärer jämfört med exempelvis Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Även sidoaktiviteter känns ganska platta.
Kul att testa iaf!
