Ahead of its official launch, gaming journalists have begun releasing their reviews of Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. The PS5 version currently holds a Metacritic score of 79/100.
Reviewers describe the game as perhaps the most outlandish entry in the series, praising Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's return to a fast-paced, action-focused combat system reminiscent of pre-2020 titles. The addition of naval combat is highlighted as a significant improvement, adding depth and variety to the gameplay.
While protagonist Goro Majima receives positive feedback, the narrative has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics deeming it less compelling than mainline entries. The game's environments also faced criticism for a degree of repetitiveness.
Despite these shortcomings, the consensus is that Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth will likely resonate with both veteran fans and newcomers to the franchise.
