Like a Dragon is the eighth Yakuza game to have ever been created. It is a strict departure from the standard beat-’em-up formula set by the previous Yakuza games. The game is set in Yokohama, and the map is significantly bigger than the previous titles in this series. SEGA introduced new mechanics, improved gameplay, and greater visual fidelity. Yakuza: Like a Dragon system requirements aren’t very demanding on PC, although the game struggles on the Xbox Series X. You need at least a Core™ i5-3470 or an FX™-8350 coupled with a GTX 660 or a Radeon™ HD 7870 to get the game up and running at 1080p 30fps. These are completely acceptable provided this is a 2020 AAA title.
