Review: Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a fun game that falls short of series standards

With so many games in the series, The Man Who Erased His Name would have to do something special in order to stand out among all the great games in the Yakuza/Like a Dragon franchise. Since Sega already released a great spinoff title earlier this year, the pressure was doubled for this game. The result is a game that ends well but struggles on the way to the finish line.

This game takes place parallel to the events of Yakuza 7 and once again follows the life of Kiryu Kazuma. After barely surviving the events of the sixth game, Kiryu has chosen to fake his death to protect his loved ones, and now works as an agent for the shadow organisation that runs Japanese politics, the Daidoji Faction.
