Grab Yakuza: Like A Dragon For Just $35 Right Now

Yakuza: Like a Dragon is potentially on many shortlists for 2020's Game of the Year, and today you can pick it up for nearly half off its launch price.

At both Best Buy and Amazon, this soft reboot of the Yakuza franchise is going for $35, giving you few excuses not to dive head-first into the adventures of protagonist Ichiban and company.

Both versions, be it Xbox One and PS4, feature free upgrades to their respective next-generation versions. You can upgrade to the Xbox Series X and Series S version as soon as you purchase the game, but you'll need to wait until March 2021 for the PlayStation 5 version to become available.

The big change that Like a Dragon introduces is turn-based combat, which transforms the game from its beat-em-up roots into something entirely new for the franchise. It still retains the charming characters and assortment of side activities to get lost in, so you should feel at home if you've enjoyed the Yakuza series in the past.

Even if you haven't, Like a Dragon's new protagonist and fresh story make it a great starting point, too. In our Yakuza: Like a Dragon review, editor Michael Higham wrote, "Yakuza: Like a Dragon is a passing of the torch, and a fantastic entry in a beloved franchise that proves that it's in good hands with Kasuga Ichiban."
