Welcome to 2023!
Today we will be discussing the amazing game design behind the Yakuza/Like a Dragon series. What is it that keeps us all coming back to this series with each new release, while still feeling like the same series from back in 2005? Well, this video will serve as my take on this premise. I hope you enjoy it and that the year has started off amazingly for you!
Cheers!
