Yakuza, but different

The Yakuza series is critically acclaimed, so it's no surprise that we're getting a remake of one of its spin-offs, called Yakuza: Ishin. In the new edition, this title was renamed Like a Dragon: Ishin – for a good reason. This is also a full-fledged remake, so the developers have made many changes in order to make the game more modern.

A crazy series in historical edition

The plot takes us to Japan as usual, but a little further back in history, to 1867, i.e. at the end of the samurai era. We will play the role of Sakamoto Ryoma, looking for the murderer of his master – his only clue is the specific fighting style used by the killer. Everything else is typical Yakuza stuff, with a huge amount of side quests, mini-games, and a specific sense of humor. Definitely a must-have for fans of the series.

He has enjoyed writing since childhood and always dreamed of writing his own book. He just never expected it to be a scientific monograph. He recently earned a doctorate in urban development, and is also working in scientific publishing, where he manages several journals and cares for the quality of the papers published there. He began his adventure with Gamepressure in late 2020 in the Tech department. He became heavily involved with the tech newsroom, and for a brief moment even ran it. Currently, he keeps an evening and weekend shift in the Tech section, and contributes to journalistic texts during the day. If a picture has a bad caption in a review, it's probably his fault. He has been playing since forever, and also likes to talk a lot. In 2019, he decided to combine both passions and started streaming on Twitch. A small but remarkable community has formed around his channel, which he considers one of his greatest achievements. He also has a cat and a wife.
